Note: This article is for Data Managers and Network Managers who are working with our Onboarding team to set up your whole school.

Pupil Progress manages class membership, relevant student details, and staff lists directly from your MIS via Groupcall. This means that any changes you make in your MIS are automatically reflected in Pupil Progress.

For any changes to students, staff, or class lists on your MIS, you may need to wait until the following day for these to show, as the changes are synced overnight.


Authorise access for Pupil Progress to sync with your MIS

Hear from Xporter on how the Groupcall authorisation works in the video below:

Take a look at our Data Processing Agreement and Terms of Service if you need to get any GDPR clearances.

Step-by-step process for authorising a synchronisation

  1. You'll initially receive a MIS data sync invitation email from Groupcall to their Xporter tool, where you can select to Begin Authorisation. From there, you'll be taken to the Xporter Manage platform.

  2. First, confirm whether you're authorised to share data on behalf of your school. If selecting No, you'll be presented with a form to forward the invite to the appropriate person.

  3. As the authorised person, you'll then need to review and confirm the Data Scopes being requested.

  4. Determine your GDPR data controls, choosing to either opt in so all students/staff/contacts are included by default in the sync to Pupil Progress, or opt out so that you'll choose to allow individuals into the sync.

  5. Lastly, review and confirm the authorisation by selecting Authorise Sharing.


Send us course details and Minimum Target Grades

Once authorised, our Onboarding team will ask you to send through details of the courses and qualifications which your classes are studying for. This allows us to match classes synced from Groupcall with the respective Pupil Progress trackers.

We'll also ask you to send through Minimum Target Grades, so that these can be matched to individual students in each of their subjects.


Onboarding Support

We'll let you know once your setup is completed. However, if you haven't received a setup invitation, or have any questions about setting up your Groupcall sync and the onboarding process, reach out to our Onboarding team βœ‰οΈ
