Set Up Integration with Other Products

Introduction

This page describes the process of submitting student documents using the document attachments API to PASI. Documents are initially submitted to PowerSchool SIS using the new version of the Document Attachments API available on SIS core 20.4.5.0. Once a document is available as a student attachment a DCF notification is received by Alberta Compliance which retrieves metadata and document image for submission to PASI.

Setup

Any Alberta client wishing to take advantage of the document integration capabilities needs to enable/configure the PowerSchool document server. Images of each document might be stored in the document server itself or they might be stored externally depending on source application requirements however document metadata is always stored in the document server.
