Adding Individual Users
Internal staff members are initially added to Vidigami using this method. To add a single user to Vidigami:
- Navigate to the Admin panel (See Admin Panel)
- In the Users tab, select "Add User."
- Input the member’s first name, last name, email address, Host ID, and User Type. If the user is a student, include Grad Year (See Host IDs).
- Note: It’s essential to ensure that any student or parent information is the same as the information recorded in the school database to avoid duplicates. Two critical pieces of data that always need to match are the User Host ID, and Grad Year (for students).
Add Multiple Users (Onboarding)
The process of systematically adding multiple users to the school's User List is known as Onboarding.
Depending on how the school organizes their database (i.e. the school is using a specific Student Information System provider, such as FinalSite or Blackbaud), Vidigami provides three options to onboard members.
- CSV Import - To apply this method, the Admin must provide the Client Success Specialist with the following forms:
- New Users CSV - Identifies all members of the school. The information required includes full name, unique email per account, user type, unique Host IDs, and lastly, a grad year, which determines the user’s academic grade group if applicable (see User Types, Roles and Permissions).
- Relationships CSV - Links students with their corresponding parent, allowing parents to have direct contact with their children's content (see Assign Relationships).
- Rollover Members - As students advance to higher grades, Vidigami updates their information accordingly, as well as systematically rolling over Parents, Teachers, and Staff to relevant groups.
To Rollover Members, The school must provide the Client Success Specialist with one of the following lists:
- ADD USERS - It identifies when new members are joining your school after the school year has started. The information required includes full name, unique email per account, user type (student, staff, member), unique ID per account, and grad year, which determines the user’s academic grade group if applicable.
- DIFF LIST - This list identifies any members who are leaving the school (e.g. non-graduating students, staff). The information required includes full name, unique email per account, user type, unique ID per account, and grad year, which determines the user’s academic grade group if applicable.
Rollover functionality:
- Migrate all staff members from the previous year, and place them under a Staff & Faculty group.
- Update Student information based on the grad year indicated in the Users List.
- Maintain Parents connection to their children’s accounts.
- ADD USERS - It identifies when new members are joining your school after the school year has started. The information required includes full name, unique email per account, user type (student, staff, member), unique ID per account, and grad year, which determines the user’s academic grade group if applicable.
- Relationship List - This form is used to connect new students to their parents, adding them to any group to which the student belongs. This relationship will populate feeds and notifications (See Assign Relationships).
