Getting Started

The dashboard

How the dashboard is laid out and where each setting lives.

NullKit is configured from the web dashboard rather than through slash commands. This page covers how it is organised and where to find things.

Opening it#

Sign in, choose a server from your list, and you land on that server's Overview. Everything you change applies to that server only. To configure a second server, go back and pick it from the list.

Anyone who owns the server, or has Manage Server in it, can open its dashboard. Permissions come from Discord rather than from anything NullKit stores, but your server list is cached for up to 60 seconds, so granting or removing someone's Manage Server role can take up to a minute to take effect here.

How it is organised#

There are eight areas. Most hold several tabs, grouped by what you are trying to do rather than by which part of the bot happens to implement it.

| Area | Tabs | |---|---| | Overview | A summary of the server | | Moderation | Rules, Verification, Logs | | Support | Tickets, Ticket Setup, Suggestions and Reviews | | Members | Welcome, Reaction Roles, About Us | | Engagement | Levelling, Economy, Giveaways, Counting | | Staff | Applications, Hours, Leave | | Automation | Custom Commands, Scheduled Messages, AI | | Settings | Subscription, Integrations |

The Overview#

The Overview is a read-only summary rather than a settings page. It shows:

  • Members, read live from Discord
  • Active tickets, meaning open and in progress
  • Moderation actions in the last 24 hours
  • Economy circulation, wallet and bank combined
  • Member joins over the last 30 days, as a chart
  • Recent moderation actions, the most recent few

Saving changes#

Each page saves on its own, and the bot picks up what you saved without needing a restart or a redeploy.

Two exceptions worth knowing, both cached by the bot for up to 30 seconds: automod rules with the banned word list, and the levelling settings. A change to either can take that long to take effect. Everything else applies on the next relevant event.

What you will not find here#

Posting a panel into a channel is done from the dashboard, not from Discord, and the panel is posted by the bot. If a panel does not appear, check the bot has permission to post in that channel.
