Parents and Guardians
In this article we use the term parent to include guardians and other legal custodians. Linewize will not arbitrate disputes between parents.
You can integrate your OneRoster Student Information System (SIS) with School Manager to automatically sync and authenticate your students, teachers, parents and classrooms.
Important
OneRoster automatically syncs with School Manager twice weekly and is scheduled on Tuesday and Friday nights in your region.
- US/NZ region: syncs start at 6:00 PM US Central Time (UTC-5).
- AU region: syncs start at 6:00 PM Australian Western Standard Time (UTC+8).
- UK region: syncs start at 6:00 PM UTC.
A device's sync may start any time between 6 PM in that region to 24 hours later, depending on previous sync times from other devices. You can manually run a Sync (Configuration > Authentication > SIS Integration) if you need to propagate changes before the automatic sync period.
Note
School Manager does not support SIS-only sync of user data. User data must come from a directory service such as LDAP, Azure or Google. Once users exist, SIS data can be added against the users.
Before you begin
- Note your OneRoster Endpoint URL, Client ID, and Client Secret.
- Ensure the email addresses for your users in School Manager match the email address for your users in OneRoster.
- Assign a user role (Guardian, Parent, Relative) and add an email address for each parent. Without these, the parent will not sync with School Manager and won’t have access to Linewize Community or Qustodio.
- Allow sufficient time for the sync to complete. OneRoster syncs may take longer than expected, with some taking up to four hours to finish. We recommend scheduling the sync outside of school hours to prevent disruptions.
Integrating OneRoster
Note
Syncing Parent Data from Powerschool into School Manager is unavailable. Linewize is actively working to incorporate this feature.
- Go to Configuration > Authentication > SIS Integration.
- Select Add New.
- Select OneRoster. The Add OneRoster Sync dialog will appear.
- Select a SIS from the Which SIS would you like to integrate? dropdown. Available options are Powerschool, Ellucian, eSchoolPlus, Illuminate Education, and Unit4.
- Enter a Name for the OneRoster integration.
- Enter the Endpoint URL. This is the URL of the root of the OneRoster server. Read OneRoster Endpoints for more information.
- Enter the Client ID. This is the username that can be found in your SIS.
- Enter the Client Secret. This is your password that can be found in your SIS.
- Select Respect Enrolment Date if you wish to sync the student enrolment end date. When selected, students will be removed from classes on the next sync and their student tiles won’t appear in Classwize when their enrollment ends.
- Select Sync Parent Data if you wish to sync parent data. This syncs the parent contact details and their relationship with the students with our systems.
- Select Submit. The OneRoster integration will appear in the list.
- Select Sync.
- The sync status will show if the sync was successful or failed. To see the sync detail, select View Log.
Understanding the sync details
- A successful sync will display the number of Unmatched Users, Matched Students, Matched Teachers, and Imported Classes.
- A failed sync will display an error code. Please contact Linewize Support if you need help resolving the issue.
Important
If you have unmatched users, ensure the email address for the users in School Manager matches the email address for the users in OneRoster. If you are still having issues, contact Linewize Support.
Resetting the integration
Resetting clears the last sync date stored in the database, making it appear as if it has never been synced, but it does not remove synced data.
- To do a complete sync reset, select Reset.
- A confirmation window will appear. Select the I Understand checkbox and select Yes, Reset.
Editing the integration
- To edit the details, select Edit.
- The Edit OneRoster Sync dialog will appear to edit the details, when complete select Submit.
Note
You will need to sync again after editing the details.
Deleting the integration
Warning
Deleting the integration will not remove the students, teachers, or classrooms from School Manager. Users can still log in and use the school's network, but any updates to the users and groups within the SIS will not synchronize with School Manager.
- To delete the integration, select Delete.
- A confirmation window will appear. Select I Understand checkbox and select Yes, Delete.
