Edval Daily: Registering and Updating Edval Staff

Modified on Fri, 7 Aug at 3:48 AM

TABLE OF CONTENTS


Preamble


The Edval Staff and EdvalKiosk applications are unique to each school, as the school’s timetable file locations are embedded directly into the software itself. Users then need only have shortcuts to the application which is stored on the server (and not on individual users PC’s). To avoid the need for configuration files, Edval will inject your current timetable file paths, directly into the Edval Staff and EdvalKiosk applications. You need to ensure the exe file is not set to read only, and not in a read only location, as the registration process will need to write to the file to inject the timetable path details.




Register Edval Staff in Edval 10

Edval Staff and EdvalKiosk can be registered in Edval 10 by going to  File > Synchronise > Register Edval Staff/EdvalKiosk and answer the questions. The Edval Staff application is now registered for your school, and may be saved on the server. Check that both executables now work correctly.

Important Information


WARNING 
Edval Staff cannot be stored or run from cloud storage (such as OneDrive, Google Drive, SharePoint, Dropbox, etc). 
• There should only be one copy of Edval Staff on a school's network location that all authorised users can access. This will ensure updates flow correctly from Edval Staff to the .etz (timetable) file. 
• Only share the school's network location's shortcut of Edval Staff to users. Do not distribute separate copies.
• Check with your IT department if school policies prevent .exe files from being saved or run from the school’s network.
Ensure all staff with access to Edval Staff have been trained on how to use it.
