# Manage Schools

## School Management

### 1. School Creation
The Super Admin can create a new school from the system. During creation:
* A dedicated database is generated.
* Required tables are migrated.
* Default settings are configured.
* Login credentials are sent to the School Admin via email.
* The default password for the School Admin is set as their phone number.

### 2. Processing Time & Real-time Tracking
School creation is an automated background process that typically takes **2–5 minutes**. With the latest update, you can now track this progress in real-time.

*   **Real-time Progress**: A detailed tracking modal shows the exact step currently being executed (e.g., Database creation, Schema migration).
*   **Background Processing**: You can minimize the tracking modal and continue with other tasks while the system handles the installation.
*   **Status Indicators**: The school list displays a live progress bar and percentage for schools currently being installed.

> [!IMPORTANT]
> To enable real-time progress tracking, you must have **Laravel Reverb** correctly configured on your server. Without Reverb, the status will simply show as "Loading" until completion.
> [Learn how to configure Reverb here](../../../installation/admin-panel-installation/reverb-setup).

### 3. Installation Progress Overview
The installation tracking modal provides transparency into the multi-step provisioning process:

1.  **Starting setup**: Initializing the environment.
2.  **Database creation**: Provisioning a dedicated database for the school.
3.  **Schema migration**: Setting up the required table structures.
4.  **Configuration sync**: Applying default settings and school-specific configurations.
5.  **Administrative setup**: Creating the primary administrator account.
6.  **Welcome & Verification emails**: Sending credentials and verification links to the school admin.
