Getting Started with Your Tenant
You just received your approval email and clicked the tenant dashboard link. Now you're looking at an interface with tabs, buttons, and options you didn't expect. Don't worry - you don't need to understand everything right now. This guide shows you exactly what you need for your first event and what you can explore later.
What Just Happened
When your event was approved, we automatically set up:
Your Organization Tenant - A permanent account for your organization
Your First Classroom - Already created and ready to use
Your First Game - The event you requested, pre-loaded with "A Scandal in Valdoria"
Full Management Access - You're the Tenant Manager with complete control
Your approval email included a link to your tenant dashboard. That's where you'll access your game link, add future events, and manage everything KC7-related for your organization.
Your First Visit to the Dashboard
The first time you log into your tenant dashboard, you might feel overwhelmed by options. Here's what actually matters for your first event:
What you need immediately:
Your classroom name (already created)
Your game link to share with participants (in the email and dashboard)
The event date you scheduled
What you can explore after your first event:
Adding more games
Creating additional classrooms
Customizing appearance
Managing users
Viewing analytics
Don't feel pressured to learn everything at once. Many successful hosts run multiple events while only using a tiny fraction of the tenant features.
Accessing Your Tenant Dashboard
Your approval email included a direct link to your tenant dashboard. Bookmark this link - you'll use it every time you want to manage games, view results, or add new events.
The URL typically looks like:
You can also access it by:
Going to kc7cyber.com
Logging in with your account
Clicking your tenant name in the navigation
Pro tip: Bookmark your tenant dashboard now. You'll refer back to it for every event you run.
Understanding Your Dashboard Layout
When you first see your dashboard, here's what you're looking at:
Main Navigation
Home - Overview of all your classrooms
Classrooms - List of all your organizational groups
Users - Manage co-hosts and participants
Settings - Tenant-wide configurations
Classroom View
Class Details - Name, description, and appearance
View Modules - Your games (where you'll add new ones)
Students - Participants enrolled in this classroom
Analytics - Performance data for this classroom's games
Game/Module View
Game Link - Share this with participants
Settings - Game-specific configurations
Analytics - Performance data for this specific game
Students - Who's enrolled in this game
Don't worry about memorizing this structure. You'll naturally learn the layout as you use the features you need.
What You Already Have Set Up
Great news! When your event was approved, we did the initial setup for you:
✅ Your First Classroom - Already created with a name based on your event request ✅ Your First Game - "A Scandal in Valdoria" pre-loaded and ready ✅ Game Link - Ready to share with participants (check your approval email) ✅ Your Account - Set as Tenant Manager with full permissions
For your first event, you literally just need to:
Share the game link from your approval email
Run your event
Come back to the dashboard afterward to view results
That's it. Everything else is optional enhancement.
Your First Time: Essential Tasks Only
Before Your Event
Find your game link:
Log into your tenant dashboard
Navigate to your classroom
Click on "View Modules" tab
Find "A Scandal in Valdoria"
Copy the game link (or use the one from your approval email)
Test the link:
Open it in an incognito window
Make sure it loads the game interface
Verify participants can create accounts
That's literally it for pre-event setup. Don't feel like you need to configure anything else.
After Your Event
View results:
Return to your tenant dashboard
Go to your classroom → View Modules
Click on your game
Navigate to "Analytics" tab
See participant performance, completion rates, and question difficulty
Export data (optional):

Adding Your Next Event (When Ready)
Create a second game:
Go to your classroom

Click "Create Game" button
Name your game (e.g., "March Event - Valdoria")
Select "A Scandal in Valdoria" (or try a different module)
Click create
Copy the new game link
Share with new participants
Takes about 30 seconds once you know where to click.
Customizing Your Classroom (Optional)
When you're ready to personalize your tenant, you can customize classroom appearance:
Adding Classrooms
Navigate to the tenant dashboard and click the "Add Classroom" button. Provide a descriptive name and brief description to make the classroom easily identifiable.
After saving, explore the "Class Details" tab to further personalize your classroom. Here, you can:
Upload a thumbnail image
Add a banner image
Select a color theme
This gives your classroom a unique look and feel that participants will see.
Why customize?
Professional appearance for corporate training
Brand alignment for educational institutions
Easier identification when managing multiple classrooms
Participant recognition and engagement
When to customize:
After running 2-3 successful events
When building an ongoing program
If branding matters to your organization
Never, if you don't care - plain works fine!
Common First-Time Questions
Do I need to do anything in the dashboard before my first event?
No! Your game is already set up. Just share the game link from your approval email and run your event. You can explore the dashboard afterward.
Where do I find my game link?
It's in your approval email, or navigate to: Dashboard → Your Classroom → View Modules → Your Game → Copy link
Can I add participants to my classroom before the event?
You can, but it's not necessary. Participants create accounts when they first access the game link. Pre-adding is useful for tracking specific users or requiring approval.
What happens if I accidentally delete something?
Games and classrooms can be deleted, but participant data is preserved. Contact [email protected] if you need to restore something.
Do I need to create a new classroom for each event?
No! One classroom can hold multiple games. Only create new classrooms when you want to organize truly different groups (e.g., "Beginners" vs "Advanced" or "Fall 2024" vs "Spring 2025").
How do I give someone else access to help manage?
Go to Users tab → Invite user → Choose permission level (Tenant Manager for full access, Classroom Manager for limited access)
