Set up a LISS connection 2.0

Note: This article is about a new Edrolo feature coming soon 🎁

How do I connect LISS to sync my timetable with Edrolo?

You connect LISS from Admin Hub by opening Integrations, choosing LISS, and pressing Connect — Edrolo then generates the details your timetabling vendor needs to start sending data across. It only takes a couple of minutes, and you won't need any technical knowledge to do your part.

Tip: the password Edrolo generates is only ever shown once. Have somewhere ready to paste it (a password manager or a secure note) before you exit the page.

First time connecting LISS

1. Log in to Admin Hub.
2. On the dashboard, click the Browse Integrations tile under Quick actions. You can also open Integrations from the left-hand menu, listed below Payment reports and above Authentication.
3. Find the LISS card under the Timetabling section. LISS is the standard your timetabling system (things like Compass, Synergetic, or your school's timetable software) uses to send class, student, and teacher data to Edrolo automatically, so you don't have to update it by hand.
4. Click Connect on the LISS card.
5. On the Set up LISS page, check the Endpoint URL and Username fields — these are already filled in for your school, so you don't need to type anything here.
6. Click Connect.
7. A banner appears confirming LISS is connected, with your password shown in full.
8. Click the copy icon next to the password field to copy it, and paste it somewhere safe straightaway.
9. Click Done.
10. Send the Endpoint URL, Username, and the password you copied to whoever manages your timetabling system — this is usually your school's IT team or your timetabling software provider. They'll use these details to set up the connection on their end.

⚠️ Note: once you leave this page, Edrolo can't show you that password again — it's stored in a way that can't be reversed, even by Edrolo. If you lose it, you'll need to reset the token (see below) and share the new password with your vendor instead.

Once your vendor has connected using these details, they'll start pushing classes, students, teachers, class memberships, and timetable data to Edrolo on their usual schedule. You don't need to do anything further on your end.

If you don't know who manages your LISS connection

If you're not sure who your school's timetabling vendor is, or who should receive the Endpoint URL, Username, and password, check with your school's IT team first. They'll usually know which timetabling system (or "LISS vendor") your school uses, and they may need to do the vendor-side setup themselves.

If you've lost the password or need to reset it

Because the password is only shown once, you'll need a new one if it's lost, shared with the wrong person, or you're not sure it's still secure.

1. Go back to Integrations > LISS in Admin Hub.
2. Look for the option to reset the token on the LISS setup page.
3. Copy the new password straightaway and send it to your timetabling vendor to update their side of the connection — the old password will stop working once the new one is generated.
