School admins set the defaults every report at the school uses. Open School admin from the sidebar and choose the School tab. Make your changes, then select Save.
English variant
Choose the spelling Lantern writes in: en-AU (Australian, the default), en-GB, en-NZ or en-US. For most Australian schools, leave it on en-AU.
Name placeholder token
The marker teachers write in place of a student's name, such as %name, [name] or <<name>>. Reports keep it when they're copied or downloaded, so your reporting system can fill in the name. Use the same marker your reporting system expects. See The %name placeholder.
Self-reference term
How the school refers to itself in reports, such as the School or the College.
State / territory
Which state or territory your school is in.
Student attributes
The qualities teachers can choose to emphasise or play down when they write, such as enthusiastic. Type one under Add attribute and press Enter. Use Reset to defaults to go back to Lantern's list.
Student pronouns
Which pronouns your students may use: one or more of she/her, he/him and they/them. If you choose just one, every class and student uses it. See Set student pronouns.
Dictation
Dictation for this school turns the microphone on or off for every teacher. This switch saves as soon as you change it. When it's off, no audio leaves Lantern. See Dictate your notes.
Branding
The Branding tab replaces the Lantern look with your school's. Upload a School logo, pick your brand colours (or choose Suggest the rest to have Lantern propose a palette from your logo and colours), and check the Live preview. Turn on Enable to show it to every teacher; while it's off, branding is saved but not applied.
Other admin tabs
The same page holds Report types (length limits and guidance for each kind of report), Compliance rules (see Set up and change your school's rules), Departments, Subjects & courses, Teacher classes, Consent, the Activity log and the Access log.
To manage staff and roles, open Settings instead. See Add staff and change roles.
