These instructions are for users of Timetabling Solutions V10 who are using the Daily Organiser app. When you use Daily Organiser, you do not need to sync into Sentral as well – all publishing can be handled from within this application.

 

Before syncing with Sentral, we strongly recommend performing a LISS Pre-Export Compliance Check to ensure your timetable data is in the correct format.

 

SERVICE ACCOUNT IN SENTRAL

Service accounts are a special type of limited permission account that Sentral offers for integrating systems. The advantage of a service account is that it is not linked to a specific individual in the school, so it does not need to be updated when their password changes or when staff change roles at the school. Service accounts also provide better security, as they cannot be used to log into the Sentral application.

 

You will need administrator rights in Sentral to create a service account, then complete the following steps:

 

  1. Click Setup on the top navigation bar
  2. Click Manage Service User Accounts
  3. Click + New Service Account
  4. Enter a Username (e.g. timetable_sync)
  5. Enter a First Name (e.g. Timetable)
  6. Enter a Surname (e.g. Sync)
  7. Select LISS Synchronisation from the Restricted Function drop-down
  8. Click Save

 

After creating the service account, a green box will appear at the top of the page containing the service account password. You can click Reset Service Password to obtain a new password.
