TABLE OF CONTENTS

This document will outline how to sync your data between the timetable file and Wonde.

Info


The following information has been provided by the Wonde team and was correct at the time of publication. Please check the Wonde documentation for any changes to the process. Please contact them for any support required in the set up in this system, as Tes consultants are not able to advise.
Alert


Make sure that your region in 'Setup > School info > Admin' is set to your correct region and not 'Unknown' or 'Other'.
The sync system may not appear in sync drop-down if the incorrect region is selected.

The timetable file can retrieve from Wonde:

  • Rooms

  • Students

  • Teachers


The timetable file can publish to Wonde:

  • Classes

  • Class lists (memberships)

  • Timetable

  • Bell times

  • Rooms

  • Students

  • Teachers

Step 1: Configure the Wonde sync in Timetable file

  1. Go to File > Synchronise > Configure

  2. Select the ‘Sync’ sub-tab

  3. Click the '+' and select "Wonde" from the dropdown


Info


Multiple systems can be set up to sync. It is common to have both the Edval webserver and the school's learning management system configured, along with any other systems the school wishes to regularly sync with.

  1. Go to the ‘Connection’ sub-tab

  2. Ensure that “Wonde” is selected in the top-right corner

  3. Input your credentialsWonde will provide you with the Wonde Server URL, Username, Password and School code.





  1. Proxy credentials are not usually required. Please see your school network administrator if a proxy message appears after testing your connection.

  2. In Other tab, you may tick ‘Sync timetable and class-lists each time you save’ option. This will send only the timetable and class membership data to Wonde each time you save the file.

  3. Tick Exclude yard duties/study classes/on-calls option if you do not want to sent this data to Wonde.

  4. Accept StatewideID's that are sent to Timetable (Recommended). Generally, the Timetable file will obtain statewide ID's from the external school information / admin system (SIS), since this is regarded as source of truth for this  field. However, some users want this field for different purposes. In NSW for example, some prefer to have the student code field for the 'ERN' number, but the Statewide ID field for the NSW Board of Studies needs registration number. If so, you may want to untick this, and retain your BOS number in the Statewide ID field
