Loading lookup tables for external systems

Reference data for external systems can be loaded from reference tables supplied by Synergetic Management Systems. The ExternalSystemType field (column) in the Table Data area is used to indicate the external system being used. For example, MCEETYA or NZMOE. The ExternalSystemCode is used to match with the external system.

You can load reference data for the following external systems:

• Curriculum Council (Western Australia)
• Catholic Education Office (Victorian Catholic schools)
• MCEECDYA (Australia, Ministerial Council on Education, Early Childhood Development and Youth Affairs)
• NZMOE (New Zealand Ministry of Education)
• NZQA (New Zealand Qualifications Authority).

Note: Existing records are not updated or deleted in the process.

While you can enter the values manually, Synergetic Management Systems have prepared the values already for loading.

1. Select Module > System > Lookup Tables Maintenance. See Lookup Table Maintenance window.

4. Select the External System Type from the drop-down list.
