For more information about what you'll need to get started with IgnitePanel by Hatch™ and what each role in Hatch can do, see Getting Started With IgnitePanel by Hatch™.
Set Up Your Account
To get started with IgnitePanel, you'll need an administrator to add your info to your school. Once they set up your account, you'll receive a welcome email from Hatch with a temporary password to help you log in.
The Let's Go! button in the email will take you to the Hatch Insights™ login screen. (Insights is a tool your program will use to roster and track data from IgnitePanel.)
On the login screen, enter the email address (where the welcome email was sent) and the temporary password that you copied from the email. Click Log In.
Next, you'll be prompted to create a new password. Your password must be more than six characters. After setting up your account, you can get started.
Set Up Your School
When you first log in, you'll see a pop-up directing you to your Setup Assistant. The Setup Assistant is your dedicated checklist to help you keep track of all your rostering tasks.
When you go to the Setup Assistant, you will see personalized setup tasks related to your role and the Hatch products your organization uses. In this article, we'll focus on programs that only use IgnitePanel.
On the Setup Assistant page, you'll find all the tasks you need to complete to onboard your program. To the right of each task, you'll find different options for rostering. You can also find support articles to help you with these options below.
Note: With IgnitePanel, classes are optional but can be helpful when organizing your program. You may also notice options to add children in Insights, but this is not required at this time.
STEPs 1–2
Steps 1–2 are related to rostering. You can find different options for rostering to the right of the task. Here are some support articles to help you complete these tasks:
- Step 1: Add teachers: CSV Import for Teacher and Class Information; How Do I Add Educators to Hatch Insights™?
- Step 2: Add classes: CSV Import for Teacher and Class Information; How Do I Add a Class?
As a school administrator, you can add teachers and classes to your school(s). All setup steps will need to be completed in Insights.
Org admins can roster all parts of the organization, so you may want to ensure that the steps above have not been completed for you. If there is existing data in Insights for one of your tasks, then you'll see on your checklist a green banner at the top of the step.
Delegating Tasks
As a school administrator, you also have the option to delegate class rostering to teachers.
To assign a task, click the Delegate Task button.
After you click this button, you'll see a pop-up that will allow you to select from existing members of your school to assign the task. For example, you may want your teachers to create their classes, so you can delegate the task to them.
Once you delegate the task, you will see the following message highlighted in orange:
Your teachers will see this task highlighted on their Setup Assistant like this:
Support Your Teachers in Getting Set Up
To complete Step 3, you may need to assist your teachers in getting set up. When you add teachers to your program, they will automatically receive welcome emails and instructions to log in to Insights. Ensure they do this before using IgnitePanel. After they've logged in to Insights, they can use the same email and password to log in to IgnitePanel and start using it in their classroom.
