Sync data with Lumen Touch SIS

School Passport supports Secure Data Sync with a wide range of the district's student information systems (SIS). One of them is Lumen Touch SIS. Lumen Touch allows schools to utilize all their resources efficiently and save money while meeting the increasing need for administrative tracking, performance analysis and detailed local and state reporting requirements.

Requirements

• You must have administrator access to the Lumen Touch portal.

• Service URL, Client ID, and Client Secret credentials in Lumen Touch.

Sync data with Lumen Touch SIS

Once the Lumen Touch integration is set up, you can run sync with Lumen Touch SIS at any time. 

We recommend running a sync if you have new or updated data in Lumen Touch for School Passport. Please note, that if a teacher or student is removed from the sync, their enrollments will also be deleted.

To run a sync with Lumen Touch SIS, go to the Lumen Touch app in School Passport and click Run Import.

If you have any questions about the Lumen Touch app configuration, please reach out to GG4L Customer Support.
