Classroom › Settings

Classlink

The Classlink tab contains settings that enable syncing roster data from Classlink. Once you have the API information from Classlink, input the data into the required fields and hit save in the top right corner. Adjust syncing times at the bottom for when your roster data is completely updated so we can fetch the newest data daily/nightly.

Option	Description
Use this integration as a source for Username	Enabling this will allow Securly Classroom to pull usernames from the Classlink roster automatically by default. Districts using Windows and Mac devices can also set rules to reformat usernames as it comes from the sync source to ensure they match their local device login requirements. This should be configured with the assistance of Securly Support.
Auto create locations from roster data	When enabled, the sync process will automatically create new locations in Securly Classroom based on data found on the roster import. If not selected, all classes from the sync will be created in the Main Location.
Use incremental sync when possible	When checked, only new and changed items will sync else a full sync will be performed. Incremental sync is only possible if the source data uses the dateLastModified field.
Add field to class names to avoid duplicate names	Lets you append fields (period, academic session title, class code, source ID) to class names to easily tell apart classes with the same name.
Daily sync start	Set the time when the daily sync occurs.
Role Mapping	This option allows importing users with the roles of Teacher, Aid, and Administrator, and assign them any desired role in Securly Classroom. Using the 1.2 protocol allows even more defined role fields, including counselors, principals, site admin, system admin, and district admin.
