How to configure Groupcall Xporter for SIMS
Published Date : 17 Aug 2018   Last Updated : 04 Oct 2024   Content Ref: TEC6393775  





Requirements

You will need to download and install Groupcall Xporter, either:

  • On your SIMS server, where you use SIMS on-premises, or
  • On any other server where ESS (the vendors of SIMS) have installed their Third Party Connector* software.

    *The Third Party Connector is a locally installed SIMS computer client, along with a VPN setup to permit connection to hosted SIMS service. It is also a specific requirement for Xporter if you are using SIMS Connected.

For more information, please refer to DWN4153727 (see the Other Useful Articles section below) and the Possible Issues section below.



Procedure

  1. Enter your SIMS logon details and click Login.
  2. When connection to your MIS is confirmed, click Next.
    Note: Groupcall advises that the SIMS user entered into the Xporter configuration wizard needs to be a member of the following groups in SIMS:
    • School Administrator
    • Senior management team
    • Personnel officer
    • Third party reporting

  1. Return to step 12 of DWN4153727 from the Other Useful Articles section below to complete the installation.


Possible Issues

If you have any connectivity issues between Xporter and SIMS or SIMS Connected, please re-check your SIMS user's credentials and also check this Groupcall support article.


More Information

SIMS Connected

SIMS Connected was previously known as cloud-based SIMS or Hosted SIMS and renamed following the sale of SIMS from Capita to ESS. This is where SIMS is not on-premises. Groupcall Xporter can still be installed locally and connected in the same way as long as the Third Party Connector/VPN tool is installed, as per the Requirements section above.
