Step 1- Install ProPanel

This is the very first step in setting up your LearnDash ProPanel. You need to go to your WordPress dashboard and click on Plugins-> Add New-> Upload plugin, and choose the ProPanel zip file which you have to download from the official LearnDash site.

Once the plugin is successfully installed, you have to activate it.

Now you need to make sure you add your license key to your ProPanel plugin. You’ll receive this license key when you purchase the plugin.

You can follow this- LearnDash LMS->Settings->ProPanel License.

Once you are done with this we can explore the functionalities of ProPanel which are separated into 4 categories-

1. Overview Widget
2. Activity Widget
3. Reporting Widget
4. Chart Widget

Each widget gives detailed information on different aspects of your LearnDash LMS.

One of the best things about ProPanel is that you can limit the visibility access to ProPanel for your LMS user’s roles.

A Group Leader by default has visibility access to view certain parts of ProPanel. You, as an admin can even choose to hide it for Group Leaders.

Now let’s go through each ProPanel widget and understand how they work.

Step 2 – Understanding Overview Widget

Just as the name suggests it provides you with an overview of your LearnDash LMS.

It displays its data in metrics-

• Total Students
• Assignments Pending
• Modules
• Essays Pending

Here when you click on any of these metrics, they take you to the user administration dashboard where you can even approve or reject assignments.

Step 3 – Diving into Activity Widget

This reporting feature reveals the actual data of your learners.

Activity Widget displays important information such as the course which the learner is actively on, which lesson or topic they are currently going through, and how much they have completed that particular course. What’s more, is that you can export this data.

Step 4 – Understanding Reporting Widget

The Reporting widget is the crucial widget that displays your learner’s activities instantly.

Here you get two options- Full page, and Email
In the full-page option, you can view the reports on a large screen without distraction.

And in the Email option, you can send emails to the learners to notify them about anything.

For example, if a certain group of Learners has not completed the course, you can send emails to all of them at once or individually inform them about course completion.

The filter option which you’ll notice at the left end of the Reporting widget strains all the user data and displays it in a quick way! Isn’t that convenient?

Step 5 – Quick overview of the Chart Widget

In the Reporting Widget, we talked about filtering the reports. The Chart Widget is the result of that action.

When you filter a specific course, a Progress chart is then displayed to break down the student’s progress.

In this chart, you’ll see the data of students who have not started the course yet, In progress course. To get more detailed information, you can hover over the graph.

With this, we conclude the setup process of ProPanel. If you have any questions regarding the setup of ProPanel, you can reach out to our LearnDash developers.
