Setting up Microsoft Services Step 1

Contents [hide]

Pre-requisites

In order to use SDS, OneNote write back, or Office365 provisioning before starting the enablement process you must:

Have a SIMS installation.
Be on Spring 2018 release of SIMS 7 or later.
If you are using OneNote 2013 you may wish to review https://support.office.com/en-us/article/enable-modern-authentication-for-office-2013-on-windows-devices-7dc1c01a-090f-4971-9677-f1b192d6c910
Your students and staff must have Office 365 accounts (or you plan to provision them through SIMS ID)
You must have students and staff assigned to classes in SIMS

The following process will help you identify and carry out the necessary steps to:

enable SIMS Online Client Services
enable your data to flow to SIMS ID
Link SIMS ID to your Office 365 tenancy
enable OneNote Write back in SIMS ID
For all services except for OneNote write back undertake User Matching between SIMS ID and Your Office 365 tenancy.
optionally and for a better overall experience, you may also wish to enable Single Sign-On (federation) between SIMS ID and your Office 365 tenancy.
Configure username and user display formats

The process to enable Microsoft Service varies depending on what other products you have already enabled from SIMS.
