Key Components #
School Web Domain at Admicity specifies the unique web domain assigned to your school within the Admicity platform. The web domain is the primary online address where students, staff, and parents can access the school’s resources and information. Please ensure this domain is correctly configured to reflect your school’s identity and is easy for users to remember.
Email Addresses to Send Information About Profile Changes. In this field, you can specify one or multiple email addresses that will receive notifications regarding any changes made to user profiles within the system. This includes updates to personal information, contact details, or any other modifications in the student profile. These email addresses are crucial for keeping designated personnel informed about profile updates and maintaining accurate records. Enter each email address separated by commas if you wish to include multiple recipients. It is recommended that a new mailbox be created for these status updates and then mailbox rules created so that the correct members of staff receive updates that are relevant to their job role. For example, status updates containing the word ‘medical’ are sent to the school nurse and status updates containing ‘cultural information’ are sent to the data officer.
Auto Reminder Interval in Hours for Unregistered Contacts (0 – Disabled) controls the frequency at which automatic reminder emails are sent to contacts who have been invited to register but have not yet completed the registration process. The interval is specified in hours. Setting this value to 0 will disable the automatic reminders. For instance, if set to 24, the system will send a reminder every 24 hours until the account has been created or until the reminders are manually stopped.
Auto Reminder Interval in Hours for Unconfirmed Profiles (0 – Disabled) is similar to the previous setting. This field determines the interval at which reminder emails are sent to parents who have registered but have not confirmed their child’s student profile. By specifying the interval in hours, the system will send reminders at the set frequency. A value of 0 disables these reminders. For example, setting this to 48 will send a reminder every 48 hours to users with unconfirmed profiles.
Synchronisation Interval in Hours (0 = Disabled) allows schools to choose how often their student and applicant data syncs between Admicity and SIMS. This is a two-way sync and the most recently updated data will be shown in both applications, irrespective of where the update was made. Updated information synchronised into Admicity from SIMS will require confirmation from the parent and a notification will be automatically sent informing them of which section of their child’s profile has been updated by the school. If the information has been updated by a parent, the school will receive a notification of the update.
Hide Boarder Groups and Hide House Groups allows the Boarder and House groups to be disabled for the schools where these groups are not used so they will not be available in filters and student profiles.
Disable Parent and Student invitation allows account creation invitations to be disabled for parents and/or students.
