E10 - Synchronisation to Campion Education via Direct Connection

Modified on Thu, 14 Aug at 12:52 AM

TABLE OF CONTENTS


Preamble

Timetabling data that exists in Tes timetable files are usually sent on to one or more other non-Tes systems, such as student learning management systems, reporting systems, administration systems, and many more. The Tes integration team works with other systems to make sure that the data required to be sent is in the correct format.

Timetables built within the Tes Timetable package can be sent directly to Campion from the Tes Timetable file.

Info


While Tes takes all care to ensure any mention to the other system is correct and up to date, it is the user's responsibility to check with the other system prior to an initial sync. If the user becomes aware of any changes to the other system, we would very much appreciate this feedback.

Type of sync

This sync is performed by a 'LISS' sync, which is a sync that sends and receives data at the push of a button with no need to manually upload data into the other system.

Which data is sent to the other system?

This table lists many of the data and features found in Tes and and whether they are understood by the other system.
Alert


Note that Tes builds many excellent features to help users build high quality timetables, and while these features can be sent onto the other system through the synchronisation process, not all systems have built the capability on their end to receive/display these features.
