Configuring DEX for SIMS is fully automated and requires user intervention for these steps:
-
Under the Plugin Management Configuration screen, enable the PowerSchool Data Exchange (DEX) plugin.
-
Under the General Setup of DEX, add the Authentication Key and Secret from the Massachusetts Department of Education, turn the system on, and test the connection.
After step 1, a new MA 2025-2026 profile is added to the PowerSchool Data Exchange (DEX).
