If students are using private mails then leave the field blank and configure metadata where you map general.email with UMS field PrivateMail


Exclude students from classes

Username entered here will prevent them from being member of any activities.

Users will still be uploaded to TimeEdit.

Metadata configuration

Important information

TimeEdit has a limit in the database, a maximum of 20 data fields on a timeblock can be returned. If you map too many metadata the integration will fail.

This lets you define which fields in UMS are sent to corresponding fields in TimeEdit.

Create 4 metadata configurations for

  • employees
  • activities
  • courses
  • students

Students are predefined by UMS, no setup is needed.

Some fields are predefined for the metadata settings while other are required if you are extracting Timetable blocks.

All fields are from the Students table.

Key name

The name of the field in TimeEdit.

Static text before database field

The text you write in this field will be suffixed to the UMS database field value.

UMS database field

The database field in the UMS table Students.

Static text after database field

The text you write in this field will be postfixed to the UMS database field value.

Required

UMS will not send the record to TimeEdit If this field is empty when it generates the data to send. This will also be logged in to TimeEdit.Log file.

TimeEdit field information

Configure Modules > Timetable >Datasource

Create a new datasource in order to get timetable blocks in return from TimeEdit

FAQ

Missing subject / title

Titles in timetable are based on ActivityDescription in UMS (TimeEdit key: studentclass.longdecript).

If bookings are not bound to activities then fill out the comments field in TimeEdit. The Comment field is also displayed on the body text of the booking.


There is no field with ext.id "person.first_name" , "general.email" etc

The missing fields must be configured in the TimeEdit database. You can do this either by making a supportrequest to TimeEdit or download a an administrative tool from TimeEdit, please contact TimeEdit for further information.

How can I test a TimeEdit certificate ?

Download the SoapUI tool and send a soap register-request as shown in the screenshot. If the certificate is registreret correctly at TimeEdit the response will be the key used for 2 factor authentication.
