TABLE OF CONTENTS
Before you sync to Active Directory you must make sure that in the the E10 timetable>Classes>Class data that everything is added in the class data such as subject name, the teachers, assigned room lines and so on, there should be no blank column in the Class data.
E10 and Active Directory distribution lists integrate via flat file. E10 outputs the following .csv files for Active Directory distribution lists to import:
- classmembership
- classteachers
Step 1: Configure the Active Directory distribution lists sync export
Make sure that your region in 'Setup > School info > Admin' is set to your correct region and not 'Unknown' or 'Other'.
The Active Directory distribution lists sync will not appear in sync drop-down if the incorrect region is selected
- In Tes, select File > Synchronise > Configure
- In the Configure tab, select 'Active Directory distribution lists' from the drop down list of options.
Multiple systems can be set up to sync. It is common to have both the Edval webserver, the schools learning management system configured, along with any other systems the school wishes to regularly sync to.
- Select the Configure button, which will move you to the Connection tab. A destination folder must be selected to direct where the .csv files will be saved to. Select Browse and locate or create the desired location.
'Sync each time you save' - This means the sync will occur automatically on a ctrl-S save. In this case, data is first saved locally to disk, and then an attempt is made to sync with all external systems. This is simple, but you may want to disable this if the external systems or your network is slow to sync, or you want more control about 'when' you publish data through to other systems. No message is shown on a sync-on-save, as it is done quietly. Only active sync via menu/ctrl-K will show a completion message.
Step 2: Perform the sync
The following steps will be performed each time new data is to be sent to Active Directory distribution lists:
- Navigate to File > Synchronise > Sync now.
- Select / ensure that the Active Directory distribution lists option is chosen in the Filter menu on the top right.
- Select 'Create TT publish file'
A number of files will be created which will be used to import into Active Directory distribution lists:
The table below details what type of data each CSV file consists of when exported:
