Prerequisites

Module requirements

  • UMS
  • TimeEdit account

TimeEdit module is relevant for uploading users and groups to TimeEdit system. These entities (users, groups, classes, courses) can then be used to create timetable blocks, which can be collected into UMS by GetSkemabrikker.

Note that UMS will attempt to delete entities, but if blocked from deletion, UMS will deactivate entity in TimeEdit instead.

(Reason for block could be active timetableblocks / reservations on the entity)

The deactivated entities must be deleted manually by customer. If entities are not to be visible in TimeEdit overview, a filter can be made in TimeEdit to exclude them from view.

Create TimeEdit settings on templates

Edit a template and apply settings for TimeEdit in order to send data from UMS to TimeEdit

Upload of courses fails if no courses are imported on GetStudents. Verify this with SQL

Select Distinct Aktivitet, Skolefag From Students

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.
