School administration software / Local Installation

Benefits, How it Works

That option is better suited for larger school districts or regions that already have IT infrastructure and would like to keep everything in-house.

Step 1 (Server Setup):

GICSOFT will setup PI 2.0 server software on a district server.

Step 2 (Data Configuration):

GICSOFT will train district IT staff on how to make data from various district applications available in PI 2.0 data management utility. Once data sources are configured district IT staff can configure any kind of report for school and district users using a programming free report builder.

Step 3 (Creating Users and Managing Access):

District Administrators will have full control over all data that will be synchronized to handheld devices for each user. Using the PI 2.0 administration component, administrator can create new users and share any reports for them within seconds.
Once reports are shared users can login and start using PI 2.0 on a handheld device.

Step 4 (Client Setup):

Each Handheld user will need to install the "client application" on their handheld device. Just put your handheld device on a cradle connected to your computer and double click client setup program on your desktop. A few seconds later, setup will complete and you are ready to synchronize data.

Step 5 (Client Login and Data Synchronization):

Once the client application is installed you can click on PI 2.0 icon on your handheld device and login with Account information provided by GICSOFT. From there, click "synchronize" button and reports that are available for you will be retrieved from PI 2.0 server.

In order to sync data your device must either be connected to:
1. Computer connected to the Internet through a cradle or USB
2. Wireless Network
