This article is for Pulse Coordinators.
Pulse syncs automatically with your SIS via Wonde. Post deployment, this means that any changes you need to make to student details will need to be done in your SIS, which will then sync to Pulse. This includes:
- Adding new students into your SIS. They will automatically be added into Pulse, and associated with the relevant groups in Pulse that they are attached to in your SIS
- Updating a student's name or email address
- Updating a student's group associations in your SIS
- Removing a student from your SIS
Similarly, staff details such as names and email addresses will need to be updated in your SIS, for them to be updated in Pulse. New staff enrolled into your SIS associated with groups that have been included in Pulse will automatically be enrolled into that group in Pulse. New staff enrolled into your SIS and NOT associated with groups will be pulled into the Staff Directory. You will be able to follow the steps here to attach staff to group/s of students in Pulse.
How to add students to additional groups
Students will be automatically assigned to groups from your SIS. This section explains how to attach them to additional groups in Pulse.
Note
Updating students in your SIS will mean that their group associations will update in Pulse. Unless there is an additional group that you want them associated with, you will not need to update students.
To add students to groups:
- Sign in to Pulse and go to Settings > Student Pulse > Enrolments.
- The list of all students enrolled in Pulse will appear on the right panel. Use the Search bar to find the student you want to add to a group. You can enter their name or email address.
- Select the pencil icon next to the student.
- The Editing person pop-up will appear. Select Add.
- On the drop-down that appears, select ‘+’ icon next to the group you're adding the student to.
- Select Save. The widget will show the groups the student checks in.
How to add staff to groups
If the staff member is in your SIS
- Sign in to Pulse and go to Settings > Student Pulse > Enrolments.
- At the top-right of the screen, select Add Person > Add Staff Member.
- The Adding person widget will appear. Type the staff member's name. If they're already in your SIS, their name will show up.
- Select the staff member's name, then select their role.
- Select Add then the Group you want to add them to.
- Select Save.
If the staff member is not in your SIS
Important
For staff members, we recommend adding them to your Student Information System (SIS) rather than directly to Pulse. Pulse will automatically import staff from your SIS into the Staff Directory, and you can then follow the steps above to assign them to the appropriate group(s). If you need to add a staff member to Pulse who is not in your SIS, follow the steps below.
- Sign in to Pulse and go to Settings > Student Pulse > Enrolments.
- At the top-right of the page, select Add Person.
- Start typing in the name of the staff member you wish to add. If they are not in the SIS, the following message will show. Select Add this user manually.
- The Adding person widget will appear. Enter in the staff member's first and last names and email address.
- Select their role from the drop-down.
- Select Add then the Group(s) you're adding them to.
- Select Save to save the new staff member.
