Your own address on the web, who on your staff can do what, and bringing your existing rolls across.

Operational Overview

What this guidecovers

When your institution adopts Shippra, it gets a workspace of its own — its own web address, its own database, its own records. This guide walks you through naming staff roles, putting your crest and colours on the documents you print, and bringing your existing student and staff rolls across.

Hardware & Environment Requirements

  • Modern web browser (Chrome 90+, Safari 14+, Edge 90+, Firefox 88+)
  • Institution custom domain SSL certificates (handled automatically by Shippra Edge)
  • Primary administrator email address for single sign-on authentication

Step-by-Step Execution

Implementationinstructions

01.

Domain & Workspace Verification

Navigate to your provisioned workspace URL (e.g., `libms.yourcampus.edu`). Sign in using your primary institutional administrator credentials. The system automatically initializes your workspace settings.

02.

Configure Institution Identity & Branding

Under Admin Settings > Institution Profile, upload your official crest logo, set your primary brand colors, and specify your institution name as it should appear on circulation slips, fee receipts, and grade transcripts.

03.

Define Staff Roles & Access Controls

Add staff members by email under Admin Settings > Access Control. Assign granular permissions — for example, Librarian (circulation + cataloging), Registrar (admissions + enrollment roll), or Cashier (fee desk only).

Pro Tip: Permissions are enforced at the database query level so staff members only see menus relevant to their assigned role.

04.

Import Master Patron & Student Roll

Upload your existing student and faculty CSV roll under Master Records > Import. The system validates unique enrollment IDs, checks for duplicate email addresses, and creates master rows that are instantly available across all applications.

Guide Questions

Frequently asked questions

How long does workspace domain activation take?

Shippra handles it. The domain, certificates and database are set up for you, and we confirm when it is ready — there is nothing for your team to install or host.

Can staff members belong to multiple departments?

Yes. A staff member can hold multiple role permissions (e.g., Librarian + Exam Invigilator) on a single login account.
