Part 1: Configure your Orah account and SIS Integration

This step helps you get Orah ready so everything works smoothly during your trial. You’ll configure your account, integration, users and some features to get the trial ready.

Updated this week
  1. Creating your Orah account as the first Orah user from your School.

2. Setting up your Integration: Connect Orah to your SIS environment. - Setting up your SIS Integration

3. Understanding Scopes & Objects: A look at what data (Students, Classes, Attendance) Orah pulls.

3. User & Access Management

Define who can mark rolls and who can override attendance data.

  • Teacher Roles: Assign permissions that allow teachers to see only their assigned classes while giving Admins a bird's-eye view.

  • Substitute Access: Configure how "Cover" or "Substitute" teachers can access rolls for a specific period.

4. Data and Branding

To get accurate insights, we need to organize your Staff, Student, and Contact database.

Manage student tags, customize Orah’s appearance, and configure your preferred login method.

5. Attendance Login & Workflow

This is where the Attendance comes to life. We map your Veracross attendance codes to Orah's logic.

Mapping Reasons: Ensure a "Late" in Veracross reflects as a "Late" in Orah.

Configuring Passes: Define why students are moving (e.g., Medical, Late).

Next Steps

Now that your configuration is complete, you are ready to move on to the Actual Usage phase, which is standard across all platforms.
