The school name, time zone, and custom URL are set when the myFolio site is set up. Please consult Folio Support (support@foliocollaborative.org) before changing these settings.
The Admin email should be updated as the primary Folio School Admin changes.
The Folio Admin can update the school's logo by uploading a properly sized PNG, GIF or JPG file. The logo file should be 400px wide and 75px tall. If necessary, the logo can be placed against a 400px by 75px appropriately-colored background file. Don't hesitate to reach out to Folio Support (support@foliocollaborative.org) if you need help.
To save changes, make sure you click the "Update Organization" button at the bottom of the page.
School Description and Banner Message

The school description appears on the myFolio Homepage, which is the first page users reach when they sign in. It is typically a version of the school's mission statement but can be any suitable description of the school.
The Banner message is an optional message that will appear at the top of the Folio Dashboard page. It could be used to provide information to Folio users, such as when grades are due, the dates of school vacation or other timely messages.
To save changes, make sure you click the "Update Organization" button at the bottom of the page.
