# Welcome to Jellyn

> Jellyn runs your ER:LC community's staff team from Discord and the web. Shifts, punishment logs, leave, sessions and your live server, in one place your team shares.

Jellyn is two things that work as one: a **Discord bot** your staff use every day, and a **dashboard** at [jellyn.xyz](https://jellyn.xyz) where management sets everything up. Link your **ER:LC private server** and Jellyn reads it live: who is in game, what commands were run, who joined and left.

## How Jellyn fits together

<Columns cols={3}>
  <Card title="The bot" icon="bot">
    Slash commands for staff: `/shift`, `/punishment`, `/session`, `/loa` and more. It posts logs in your channels.
  </Card>
  <Card title="The dashboard" icon="layout-dashboard">
    Your server's settings, members, roles, logs and activity, and the moderator panel for live moderation.
  </Card>
  <Card title="Your ER:LC server" icon="gamepad-2">
    Players, commands, kills and joins, read through the ER:LC API, and commands sent back to the game.
  </Card>
</Columns>

Everything is recorded once and shown everywhere: a punishment logged in Discord is on the website a moment later, and a shift started from the moderator panel shows in `/shift`.

## What you can do

- **Run your team.** Shifts and breaks, activity counted in [waves](/team/activity), [leave of absence](/team/leave), [staff infractions and promotions](/team/infractions), and [roles](/team/roles) that decide who sees what.
- **Moderate.** [Punishment logs](/moderation/punishments) with evidence files, the [moderator panel](/moderation/moderator-panel) with keyboard shortcuts, and an [audit log](/moderation/audit-log) of every change.
- **Run your ER:LC server.** [Sessions](/erlc/sessions) with polls and boosts, [game features](/erlc/game-features) like logging from in game, and [automations](/erlc/automations) for safe zones and the area of play.
- **Build your community.** [Applications](/community/applications), [documents](/community/documents) for your handbook, and [Roblox verification](/community/verification).
