Dyknow’s Import Manager feature enables Dyknow Administrators to easily import data from the Blackbaud SIS into Dyknow.

Note:

Blackbaud has changed the steps and requirements to activate the ON API integration as of June 30, 2021. For an integration type that does not require regular updates, please contact us about changing your import method type to Blackbaud OneRoster integration.
In order to import Blackbaud user data into Dyknow, each Teacher user must be assigned to a Class in Blackbaud and each Student user must be assigned to a Class roster in Blackbaud. Blackbaud users aren’t tied to schools.
Blackbaud has no method for identifying the Primary Teacher of a Class. When multiple Teachers are listed for a class, all will be assigned to the class and displayed in alphabetical order.

Prerequisite: Manage Roster Import Settings
