How to Access the 'Admin Site'

The GovernorHub Admin site is a supplementary site available for Trusts, Local Authorities, Governor Services and Clerking Services. The site is not available for standalone school accounts.

To get to the GovernorHub Admin site, simply sign in to GovernorHub in the usual way, then open a new window in your browser and head to admin.governorhub.com

Searching for governing board accounts

To search for a governing board, you can use the search box in the top bar to quickly locate accounts that are linked to your trust or service:

You can also search via the side-menu on the left of the screen. Click on Governing Boards in the left-hand menu. Type the name of the governing board or account into the search bar and click on them in the search results to see their details.

The account details will then appear in the Governing Board Details section to the right.

Health Score

In the information panel, you will be able to see a 'Health Score' for the account. This indicates whether an account is actively being used based on various criteria such as:

  • have members set passwords and logged in?

  • are there documents being uploaded?

  • has anyone posted a message on the noticeboard?

The higher the scores, the more the account is being used.

You can also see an indication of vacancies here, based on any unfilled posts in the constitution page on the account.

Access

Below this, you can see at a glance:

  • Which features of GovernorHub the account has access to (Noticeboard etc)

  • Which parts of the account your service has access to

  • Which tabs in your service area are available for members to view when they click on your icon. These can include News, About, FAQs, Resources, Training etc

Please note that these may show differently depending on the exact configuration of your service.

Tags

At the bottom of the section, you can see if there are any 'internal tags' associated with the account. Tags can be added here, or removed via the X button on a tag. Tags are only visible on the admin site, they do not show up on the front end site for GovernorHub users.

Further Details

The buttons at the top of the section can also provide further information about your governing board accounts.

Clicking on the Details tab will open the detailed view, where you can see membership details, recent changes etc.

Accessing accounts directly

Clicking the View tab will open the front-end GovernorHub site for the account. You can then administer the account directly from there.

Useful downloads

Clicking Downloads will give you options to download a full membership list, or export addresses in a csv file, or formatted for printing as labels.
