Setup and master data are the foundation that must be in place before any exam can be scheduled. Complete this section first so that question banks, schedules, participants, reports, and printable documents all use consistent data.

Initial Setup

When a new installation is launched for the first time, open the setup page to enter the system’s basic information.

  • Set the first active academic year and semester.

  • Once setup is complete, the system takes you straight to the dashboard so you can continue configuring.
  • Use System Settings (“Pengaturan Sistem”) to update the institution name, address, active academic year, default participant card password, and support contact.

Academic Year

The academic year (“Tahun Ajaran”) defines the academic context of the data currently in use.
