Calendar Manager Datasets: Calendar Types 'Categories & Subcategories' All Events	Report Manager Datasets: Report Templates Report Cycles Reports
Discipline Manager Datasets: Detentions	School Manager Datasets: Academic Houses Boarding Houses Pastoral Tutors School Divisions School Forms School Terms Year Groups

Please note or copy the API Key for use in the Procedure section below.

Groupcall have stated that they strongly recommend you include all data areas and/or permissions that you have been asked to share above. However, if there are certain permissions you do not wish to grant access to, you are welcome to configure the account as required. Please be aware that this may impact the synchronisation of data between iSAMS and RM Unify, so if you encounter any errors when attempting to send data to RM Unify, Groupcall suggest you ensure all the recommended permissions for Xporter have been selected. If you do not wish to share certain permissions or have done so and are still experiencing issues relating to permissions, please raise a support request with Groupcall support directly - Contact Support - Community Brands UK.
