i-runs is a School-Parent-Student Software designed to give parents access and awareness to activities of their child(ren) or ward as indicated by the school's management. It aims to provide synergy between students, teachers and parents such that even the busiest parent on earth can still be aware of his/her child's academic performance from wherever he/she is on earth.

All you need is an internet connection and that's all. Very easy, right? Cheers!

After signing up on the dashboard you can create as many accounts for your workers by simply navigating to the "My Staff". This is done so that responsibility can be shared among workers of the organisation.

Not at all. As the founder of a school you are in complete charge of the management of the school's account. You decide who should [not] log in. This is done by setting roles and permissions and then applying them on the created staff/worker's account.

We recognise that there may be operations/duties that should be carried out by certain offices or individuals in an organisation. This is where permissions come in. Permissions are assigned to roles as we employ a role-based management system.

By default, there are 15 permission groups (and 51 actual permissions in total under them) defined on i-runs. They are defined as follows (in no definite order):

  1. School: This permission handles updating your school's general information. This also includes the creating, updating, and deleting of branches. Be careful in assigning this position to a role because a user with the assigned role will have "Super Admin" privileges.
  2. Staff: This permission specifies who can create, update or delete any staff related to your school or branch. It also specifies who can suspend or reactivate a suspended staff as well as to mark attendance.
  3. Student: This permission specifies who can create, update or delete any student related to your school or branch. It also specifies who can suspend or reactivate a suspended student as well as to mark attendance.
  4. Notification: This specifies who can create or delete notification for your school
  5. Role: This specifies who can create or delete additional roles for your school.
  6. Subject: This specifies who can create or delete additional subjects for your school.
  7. Prefect: This specifies who can create or delete additional prefectship positions for your school.
  8. Assignment: This permission specifies who can create or set assignments for students within a school or branch. By default, even though a school's founder can perform every action on this platform, this permission is specially reserved for staff but they must first be granted the necessary permission.
  9. Review: This permission specifies who can give reviews on students. This could be about academics or whatever that may be the necessary reason.
  10. AcademicReport: This permission specifies who can set result (aka Academic report) for students.
  11. Management: This permission specifies who can set policy related to your school. This involves policies like official start-of-work and close-of-work hours, non-working days, etc.
  12. Permission: This specifies who can assign permission to already-created roles. It specifies who can see this page and even read or set this permission you're viewing currently.
  13. Attendance: This permission specifies who can give view attendance history related to your school or branch.
  14. Student Transfer: Parents or guardians may occasionally want to transfer their ward from one school to the other. When this occurs, this permission specifies who can see, accept or decline the request if related to your school or branch.
  15. Accounting: This permission specifies who can handle anything related to finance within your school. A person with a role that has this permission will be able to pay for subscription on behalf of the school, see payment history, etc.

Roles are simply the various hierarchy or departments in your organisation. For instance, you could have Teachers, Principals, Vice Principals, HOD, etc - You decide the definition. These roles are then appointed to your workers or staff when you create their acount(s) and used for permission management.

Students or parents who wish to transfer their students to your school may need their ward's record in this new school - yours. By default no duplicate accounts are not allowed on i-runs. In an attempt to register such student (who may have been previously registered on i-runs in their previous school), you may across a message that such student has already been registered in the past. To remedy this challenge the student, from his/her dashboard already created by the previous school, should be asked to apply for transfer to your own school where you can then accept the request and immediately the student's record will be transferred to your database of which you can then edit or add new information.

For now, no. We understand that some schools believe online submission takes away responsibility on the student's side, thus don't encourage it since they prefer hands-on approach instead.

However, online issuing of assignment(s) is possible and available so that students who may be away or absent can catch up with whatever was taught, shared or passed across in their absence.

After registering and/or login you'll be presented with an interface that shows students in your school/institution or the link with which you can use in onboarding students or creating accounts for them.

Please note that only students that have been onboarded will have access to this platform with their unique credentials which you must have created.

This platform is free for a period of 3 months, after which paid subscription will be initiated. The various prices have been carefully and specially crafted and can be found on your dashboard when you sign in or create an account.

For Parents/Guardians

For now it's impossible. The school your ward/child(ren) is/are enrolled will have to create the account which you can then manage. If your ward/child is enrolled in a school that utilises i-runs software and you're yet to get your account, please contact the relevant school authority or management to look into it.

It depends on your discretion. For instance, your child/ward may be given an e-assignment which will be visible on this account. In this case you may want to grant access to the account to the child (if the child has his/her own mobile device) or through your device under your supervision. The choice lies with you.

Yes. Very possible indeed. When you log in your account as a parent/guardian you'll see a list of ward(s) under your control (after you must have accepted him/her/them to your list). Click on any ward on the list to access his/her account and follow up on any academic report therein if any .

When a school onboards a student on the platform an email is usually sent to the parent/guardian of the student to identify him/her with the child (using the supplied guardian email by either the student or guardian) alongside your login credentials. When you click on the link, and login, you can then access the request on your dashboard which you can either confirm or decline. After confirmation the ward will then be added to your list which you can now manage under your account.

As long as the school your child/ward is enrolled in is subscribed, on your part it's free. However, if the school runs out of subscription then you may be unable to access your account until the subscription is renewed by the school.

Yes. From the dashboard navigate to Student Transfer area and input the name of the school you'll like your child/ward to be transferred to. The recipient school will have to accept the transfer request before it'll be completed. This is typically done when/if you want to transfer your child/ward to another school as well as your child/ward's biodata/record if the school utilises i-runs software.
