Admin Numbers
The block uses admin numbers as a unique ID to link Moodle / Active Directory accounts to Facility CMIS student records. This means you will have to ensure the following:
a) The 'description' field of every student Active Directory account contains the student's admin number (exactly as it is in Facility, with preceeding 0's)
b) If you have existing student accounts in Moodle, you MUST add the students admin number (exactly as it is in Facility) to the idnumber field. If you don't have existing student accounts in Moodle, dont worry - the block will create their accounts!
- To avoid manual work in the future, always ensure your new intake network accounts are created via a file exported from Facility CMIS with Firstname, Lastname, Idnumber, DOB which you can then import into Active Directory. Basically, your new intake network accounts can be created via a simple import process with the description field automatically populated with the idnumber. Speak to your network manager about this. Any network manager worth his/her salt should be able to do this - it is not hard.
StaffCode
Facility StaffCode should be present in AD description field for all staff.
