Contacts
To view your contact information, click on the Contacts icon.
Your address, phone number, email, and mobile phone number will appear in Contacts. The parent priority contact also appears in Contacts.
For admins: SIMS tags are used to pull in users’ telephone numbers and email addresses By default, the “primary” tag is used to pull information. If this isn’t available, it will search for the “main” tag next. If no tag is used, the first number or email address listed is used by Edulink One to prioritise contact information.
SEN
To view your child’s SEN information, click the SEN icon on the Edulink One homepage.
It contains SEN information for your child, including the start date of the diagnosis, need type, description of the need and the status, e.g. EHCP.

Updating Information in Edulink One
Edulink One has a dedicated Update Information icon. To change any data in the categories above, you need to click on Update Information.
For admins: Data requested in the Update Information icon is configured in the administration settings in the Data Collection Tab.
Each parent/ guardian has a unique account.
The Update Information window has tabs to the left: one for the parent and the other for the child(ren) at the school.
However in the mobile view, to view your children and switch between them, you need to press the two arrows beside your name. This will bring up a list of your children at the school. Click on the name of the child whose account you would like to update.
The information contained in Update Information mirrors that in the Data Collection Tab. Basic personal information and special category information, such as religion and medical, are available for parents to amend or change.
To remove information, click the bin icons. Similarly, to add new information parents must click the + button. Each field will have different criteria to fill out once the + button is clicked. Fill in your new information and click Add. 
The new information (or removal of information) must be saved. Click the Save button to save their data changes.
Parent Information
Basic: Basic information stored in Edulink One, such as the parent’s title, forename and surname.
Contact Details: You can remove or add contact details such as telephone numbers (and include whether they are primary or main), email and home addresses.
Moving House
If you are moving house, select the Move button in Addresses. Input the new postcode and house number before another window opens, prompting you to fill in more details.
You can move all occupants of the old address to a new address. This way all children and partners under the same address in the MIS are moved to the new address at once. If one parent/carer is moving to a new address and the other parent/carer is remaining at the old one, you can select ‘only move this occupant’ to ensure only you are being moved to the new address. This would need to be done individually if your child is moving with you as pressing ‘All occupants of old address have moved…’ will move everyone at the current address to the new one. 
Admins: If a parent updates an address because they are moving, the whole family living at the same address can be moved if the enable address move cohabitees button is turned on in the Data Collection tab.
Admins: Additionally, it is important to note that tags are used to acquire telephone numbers and email addresses. By default, the “primary” tag is used to pull contact information followed by the “main” tag. If your school’s MIS does not use tags, the first number or email address listed is used to populate contact information.

Addresses: The home addresses recorded for the child(ren). However, an exception would be if you request that your address information be blocked from the other parent, perhaps in the event of separation or divorce.
Admins: If a parent has requested this and is not already subject to a court order which is configured separately, you can block contact information by adding the other parent to Blocked Contacts in the Data Collection tab.
To add an address, select the Addresses + button, add the postcode and house number and click next.
You will be prompted to fill in further information, such as Town and Postcodes which are required fields. Lastly, select Done to return to the Update Information window.

In the event of a move, select the Move button. This will carry the new information across to the selected occupants of the new address (whether it is just one parent/guardian or parent(s)/carers and children).
Fill in the address details.
Select the occupants you would like to move to the new address. If you need to move with your child(ren) only and a partner is remaining behind at the old address, this will need to be done separately for each person.
