New/trial schools can use the following information to help set up Edulink One, Edulink One user accounts and Communicator. Additionally, there is other useful knowledge to ensure a smooth transition. Edulink One replaces many systems and schools can choose which functions they would like to enable and how much of the system they would like to use. It is completely customisable to suit your needs.
Installing the Agent
To start, you need to install the Edulink Agent so Edulink One can integrate with your MIS provider. You can also connect Edulink One to your LDAP if you would like to use your Active Directory credentials to log in to Edulink One.
Administration Settings
Once you have installed the Agent, the following article introduces you to the administration area and the welcome page where you can enable features and customise settings as required.
Setting Up Communicator
Suppose you intend on using Edulink One’s Communicator (some features require it to be turned ON even if you do not intend to use it). In that case, the following article will help you set up features like Push Notification, SMS and Email to suit your school’s needs.
Should your school plan on using the Communicator function for notifications, for example, notifying parents of a student’s detention, then you can create notifications for your users in the Notification Tab.

The list below relates to setting up logins (including how to enable Google and Microsoft logins) and any errors you may encounter.
