      Step 1: Activate an Import application

      Step 2: Check if data consumed with the application

      Important:

      This article provides an overview of the process. For detailed instructions on setting up a specific app, please refer to the Applications & Integrations for step-by-step guidance.

      Before you can use your data, you must first connect School Passport to your data source or SIS through an Import application. These applications transfer your roster data from data source/SIS to School Passport. School Passport supports connecting to a variety of data schemas, such as Basic Roster, OneRoster 1.0 and 1.1.

      Import applications store a list of connection details that are used to establish a connection to a database. For example, host, port, Client ID, and Client Secret. In Import application settings, you can also select attribute mappings, add data filtering and sync schedule, and so on.

      Requirements

      • Primary District Admin permissions are required.
      • You may need the following credentials for data source/SIS connection:
        • Client ID
        • Client Secret
        • Service URL
        • For SFTP: server, host, port, CIDR

      Step 1: Activate an Import application

      1. Sign in to School Passport.
      2. Go to the Connect > Application Gallery.
      3. Find and select an application you want to use for your organization.
      4. Click Activate.
      5. (Optional) Click Import if the Sync Mode is available.

      7. (Optional) In the Schools Mapping, map the schools from the data source/SIS with GG4L schools. This ensures that the schools are correctly associated with their corresponding schools in School Passport. For details, see Schools Mapping.

      8. Click the Finish Configuration on the top right to skip the remaining configuration steps and complete the setup process, or continue with the configuration process manually.
