Steps
To configure the integration in SameGoal:- While logged in to SameGoal as an administrative user, navigate to Settings > District Information.
- Scroll down to find the eSchoolPLUS integration information.
- Fill out the following fields:
- Login URL: Must start with "https://" and end in "eschoolplus" (e.g. https://applegrove.org/eschoolplus)
- Username: SameGoal web application account username
- Password: SameGoal web application account password
- Database: eSchoolPLUS database to write to
- School Year: eSchoolPLUS school year to write to (optional; when left blank, defaults to school year option with label "current year")
- Include: State reporting writeback
- You may also select document alerts if you are also configuring this integration
- Advanced writeback options: These options are not used by most districts:
- Include 215XXX programs: Not applicable
- Cumulative program records: This should ONLY be checked for districts that began this integration using eSchoolPLUS version 3. Checking this option in other cases may cause data loss.
- Include reporting programs: Not applicable
- Omit Personal page writeback: This integration updates the eSchoolPLUS "Personal" page by default. Only check if your district uses a different, custom-rolled process for updating this page.
- Cutover dates: WARNING! Entering the incorrect date in these fields may cause data loss. This is the date on and after which the integration will assume all documents with this start date onward are the canonical source of program information. If a record is entered manually in eSchoolPLUS after this date, it will be removed or updated to match document information entered in SameGoal.
- Generally, this date is in the future, so your district can alert staff ahead of time that as of X, all documents with X start date will flow over to eSchoolPLUS automatically.
- If you choose a date in the past, be sure you have reviewed your workflow process in eSchoolPLUS adequately to ensure no records were entered manually after this date that are not entered in SameGoal (e.g. out of district documents, transfers, etc).
lightbulb Tip
If your district uses SSO, SSO should be disabled for the eSchoolPLUS account.
