Why is Google not syncing? 

Google syncs around the clock so last sync date should be within 24hrs- If this is not the case please email support@realsmart.co.uk


When will users be in groups? 

Once users reach their start date in your MIS they will be synced to google within 24hrs, groups will also be updated to match the MIS groups.

smartadmin says last MIS import was “an hour ago” but users don’t have Google accounts. 

There are 2 sync notifications in smartadmin. One for realsmart and one for Google. Check that the Google sync notification has run recently.

 

Check that the user has a realsmart account and when the account was created - to force the account to google just edit the user in smartadmin - This will force a provision to google for that user.
OR
user can sign into the website and update their password changing from our default password to a secure one- this forces the account to google immediately.

 

Why can't my teachers see new Google Classrooms? 

We provision new Google Classrooms with the status of "pending" this means that a teacher needs to "accept" the course from the Classroom application. Where there is more than one teacher in a course it is assigned to the first teacher the sync sees so it could be that another teacher in the group needs to allow it. An admin can change the main teacher in the Groups interface in smartadmin. 

 

Why can't students see new Google Classrooms? 

Teachers need to "accept" new Google Classroom courses before students can see them.

 

Where are last years Google Classrooms? 

All realsmart created classrooms from previous years are "archived" teachers can retrieve these and all associated work from the archive here:  https://classroom.google.com/h/archived
