SIMS - Configuring the IRIS Sync
Configuring to SIMS or SIMS Connected
- Enter the authorisation code you used to download the software. The authorisation code you are given is unique and must only be used for your organisation.
- Select Sims.Net as the School Mis.
- Enter a SIMS account with the permissions of Administration Assistant, TP SuperUser, Third Party Reporter, Exams Officer, and Admissions Officer. We recommend creating a dedicated account.
-
Enter the path to your organisation’s SIMS database by selecting Browse. This is normally in a folder called S:\SIMS. In a shared environment, the folder contains a connect.ini pointing at your organisation’s data.
-
If the organisation uses a proxy or web filtering software, select Settings, then select Manual Configuration and enter the details as required. Once done, select Test. This must come back as Connection OK.
-
Once you have filled in all of the details, select OK. This displays two messages which should confirm the setup has been completed successfully.
