How Branches Work

Once branches are set up, here's how they affect different parts of the platform:

Content Isolation

Organization
├── Branch: Dhaka Center
│   ├── Course: HSC Physics 2026
│   ├── Course: HSC Chemistry 2026
│   └── Students: 200 enrolled
├── Branch: Chittagong Center
│   ├── Course: HSC Physics 2026 (separate instance)
│   ├── Course: HSC Biology 2026
│   └── Students: 150 enrolled
└── Branch: Online
    ├── Course: SSC Math Online
    └── Students: 500 enrolled

What's Isolated per Branch

Note: The Question Bank and Curriculum Hierarchy are shared across all branches. This means you create questions once and can use them in exams across any branch.

Managing Branch-Specific Content

Assigning Teachers to Branches

1. Go to Teachers in the sidebar
2. Open a teacher's profile
3. Under Branch Assignment, select which branches they can access
4. Teachers will only see courses and students from their assigned branches

Filtering by Branch

Most list views (Students, Payments, Attendance) have a Branch filter in the toolbar. Use it to:

• View data for a specific branch
• Compare performance between branches
• Generate branch-specific reports
