The plugin should now be installed and enabled. Before we move back to the PowerSchool app we need a few pieces of information from the plugin we just installed.

Finding the Client ID and Client Secret

To find the Client ID and Client Secret first click on the Visitor Management plugin name.

Then scroll down and click on Data Provider Configuration

Here you will see your Client ID and Client Secret.

Type the Client ID and Client Secret into the fields shown and click Next.

The system will now try to connect to your PowerSchool module using the information entered. If you receive an error that we cannot communicate with PowerSchool please click Go Back and review your information. Once the connection is successful click Next.

You should see a Review page. Review the information and click Sync.

The initial configuration is complete.

The next step is to sync your school list.
