How to Share by School

by Ryan Clay

Hey edtech developer! So the district you are serving only has certain schools using your platform. What do you do?

You can create a product licensing rule to share select school data with your app. Here's how.

Go to ed.link and log into your admin account. Click the Integrations tab in the sidebar, and select your app integration.

Step 2: Navigate to the Product Licensing page

Once you've selected your app integration, click Data Pipeline in the left-hand sidebar, and then the blue Open Preview button.

Next, Click Product Licensing in the left-hand sidebar. You're now on the page you'll use to select the classes you'd like to share with your app.

Step 3: Create a Share By School rule

Click Create a New Rule and select Share by School in the right-hand sidebar that pops up.

You'll see a form that you'll use to create a rule that will limit the data shared with your app.

Select School "Is Any Of" and search for the schools you are looking to share with your app.

You can search for specific people that will be shared with your app using the search bar on the right-hand side of the page.

Step 4: Save your changes

When you're finished setting the rule, click Save Changes and then Done Editing Rule.

To set the rule live, check off the Remove Unlicensed Data check box.

Hit the blue Save Changes button in the top right-hand corner.

Your rule is now live! Please note that the rule must materialize in Edlink, which could take a few minutes.

Once the materialization is complete, you can see the data that's currently being shared to your app via the tabs on the left-hand side of the page.
