Introduction

This documentation describes the complete App Admin workflow in the RTE Portal (RTE-DPG-MIS).
It explains the responsibilities of the App Admin, including system setup, user management, data management, configuration, and portal maintenance required for running the RTE cycle smoothly.

To make the documentation easier to read, the full App Admin Journey is divided into four parts, following the actual order in which tasks are performed in the system. Users are advised to read the parts in sequence.

Part 1 – System Access & User Management
Login, password management, creating users, assigning roles, and controlling access.

Part 2 – Location & School Data Management
Managing location data, uploading school lists, and maintaining master data required for admissions.

Part 3 – Language & System Configuration
Configuring system settings, lottery settings, mail/SMS settings, reimbursement settings, and other operational controls.

Part 4 – Homepage Content Management
Updating homepage banner, notifications, videos, testimonials, and other public portal content.
