--- title: Settings & Branding slug: settings-and-branding docTags: createdAt: 2026-03-06T19:27:16.844Z --- Customise your academy's appearance and behaviour from the Settings area. The Settings area has one tab per area: **General**, **Domain**, **Plan**, **Billing**, **Emails**, **Fields**, **Notifications**, **Security**, **Terminology**, and (if the Disclaimer module is on) **Disclaimer**. **Integrations** and **Guides** are not Settings tabs — they have their own pages in the sidebar under the **System** section, next to Settings. See [Google Sheets Export](docId\:Jny4xTyySAl8VO-yFgtgh) and [Member Guides](docId\:UW8mXQec86_QsGPf1nQd0). :::hint{type="success"} Each sidebar section (Operations, Money, People, Grow, System) can be collapsed by clicking its header. Sections start open, and stay the way you leave them. ::: ## 🏢 General **Settings → General** The General tab covers your academy's core profile plus several sub-sections on the same page: | Setting | Description | | ------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------- | | Academy Name | Displayed across the platform | | Registration number | Business/company registration number — printed on PDF invoices | | Address | Academy's physical address | | Phone | Academy contact number | | Email | Academy contact email | ### Branding Also on the General tab: | Setting | Description | | ----------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Logo (light) | Shown on light backgrounds | | Logo (dark) | Shown on dark backgrounds | | Favicon / Icon | Browser tab icon | | Primary colour | Brand colour used in UI elements | | Email logo | Logo shown in emails sent to members | | **Invoice logo** | Logo printed on downloaded PDF invoices and receipts (PNG or JPG only, recommended 200×50px) | | Email footer text | Custom text at the bottom of all emails | | Contact email | Support email shown in email footers | All changes take effect immediately. Emails sent after the change will use the new branding. ### Domain Management Domains have their own tab — **Settings → Domain** — where you configure your subdomain, connect a custom domain, or register a new domain through REMMU. → See [Domain Management](docId\:B8_cEqjZk6JZzQw1EZYW1) for full details. ### Modules Also on the General tab — toggle optional feature modules on or off. See [Modules](docId:-dKwBVhO8MGRLFRzcYPV-) below. ### Member Settings Also on the General tab — control what members can do on their own profiles.

Fields appear on the student add/edit form and profile page. ### Reordering dropdown options For **dropdown** and **multi-select** fields, you define the list of options. Each option row has a **drag handle** — click and drag it to reorder. The order you set is the order options appear in the dropdown on every form. Click **Save** to persist the new order. ### Searchable Custom Fields When creating or editing a custom field, enable **Searchable** to allow filtering students by that field's value from the Students list. Useful for fields like belt rank or group — find all students in a specific tier instantly. ### Custom Fields on Invoices Enable **Show on invoice** on a custom field to include its value in the student section of downloaded PDF invoices and receipts. Useful for fields like membership tier or class level that you want visible on billing documents. *** ## 🧩 Modules **Settings → General → Modules** Modules are optional features you can turn on or off based on what your academy needs. The sidebar updates automatically when a module is enabled or disabled. | Module | What it adds | | ------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Attendance** | Track class attendance and generate reports | | **Disclaimer** | Require members to accept terms before registration | | **Expenses** | Track expenses and cash flow across your organisation | | **Growth** | Referral programs and public landing page for attracting new members | | **Payroll** | Pay instructors and team members. Generate payslips and track pay history. Paid plans only. See [Payroll](docId\:hVsF4t4mDgBX3WOlf9pQ6) | | **Store** | Sell products to members — products, categories, orders, and a member-facing storefront | | **Chat** *(Beta)* | In-app messaging between staff, instructors, and members, with admin oversight | | **Progress** *(Beta)* | Track student skills, milestones, or curriculum progress per class — configure checklists from the Progress page in the sidebar | | **Integrations** *(Beta)* | Automatically export data to third-party tools like Google Sheets — configure from the **Integrations** page in the sidebar (under **System**). See [Google Sheets Export](docId\:Jny4xTyySAl8VO-yFgtgh) | Each module is **off** by default for new academies. Enable only what you'll use. WhatsApp notifications are configured separately under **Settings → Notifications**, not as a module — see [WhatsApp Notifications](docId\:dvyVt5thrQsaduPwoTSSu). *** ## 👥 Member Settings **Settings → General** (Member Settings section) Control what members can do when managing their own profiles: | Setting | Description | | ------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Allow self profile** | Members can register themselves as a student during signup | | **Allow child profile** | Members can add their children as students during signup | | **Allow self enrolment** | Members can select and enrol into a class when registering | | **Require date of birth** | Members must enter a date of birth when adding or editing a student profile (web and mobile) | | **Allow student to self update their enrollment** | Members can drop or add a class on their own (or their child's) enrolment, including bundle classes. See [Member class changes](docId\:Hi2E6pxlMWco8LLfocBNK) | | **Require approval for enrollment changes** | Shown when the setting above is on. Every drop/add a member submits is reviewed by an admin first. When off, changes apply immediately | | **Require approval to edit profile** | Members must request permission before editing their profile. Admin approves once, and the profile locks again after saving. | Use these to control how much of the onboarding flow members can complete themselves versus requiring admin setup. ### 🔐 Require Approval to Edit Profile When this setting is **on**, members cannot freely edit their own profiles. Instead: 1. The member taps **Request Edit** on their profile 2. All admins receive a notification and in-app alert 3. An admin reviews the request and taps **Allow Profile Edit** on the student's profile in the admin panel 4. The member receives a notification that their edit has been approved 5. The member has **one edit window** — after saving, the profile locks again automatically This is useful for academies that need to maintain accurate records and prevent members from changing key details (name, IC number, etc.) without oversight. :::hint{type="info"} Admins can also **revoke** an edit window before the member saves — tap **Revoke** on the student's profile card to re-lock immediately. ::: :::hint{type="warning"} This setting applies to member-facing profile edits only. Admins and team members can always edit student profiles directly from the admin panel. ::: *** ## 🔒 Security **Settings → Security** Control whether REMMU support staff can access your dashboard to help resolve issues. | Setting | Description | | ------------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Grant Support Access** | Allow REMMU administrators to temporarily view your dashboard for support purposes | - **Enabled** — REMMU staff may access your dashboard when assisting with a support request - **Disabled** (default) — REMMU staff cannot access your dashboard without your explicit permission :::hint{type="info"} Support access is logged. You can enable or disable it at any time. REMMU will never access your data without your knowledge. ::: *** ## 🔤 Terminology **Settings → Terminology** Rename the three core nouns used across REMMU to match how your academy talks: | Field | Default | Examples | | -------------- | ---------- | ----------------------- | | **Student** | Student | Member, Client, Athlete | | **Location** | Location | Centre, Branch, Studio | | **Instructor** | Instructor | Teacher, Coach | Click the edit icon next to a field, type the new word, and click **Save**. Your words appear in the sidebar, page headings, tables, forms, emails, and the mobile app. Plurals are formed automatically using regular English rules (Coach → Coaches, Academy → Academies). Irregular plurals (e.g. Child → Children) aren't supported, so pick a word with a regular plural. :::hint{type="info"} Type these words in **English**. Common words (e.g. Student, Athlete, Member, Centre, Branch, Teacher, Coach) are translated automatically for members who use REMMU in Bahasa Malaysia or Chinese. A word REMMU doesn't recognise is shown exactly as you typed it, in every language. See [Language](docId:3JkAP-HicHqh4LOS6FxS_). ::: *** ## 👤 Account Settings **Settings → Account** - Update your own name and email - Change your password - Manage notification preferences
