  • The Chalkboard - Special Alert: New AFS App for Automating Report Downloads

 

 

Good news! 

 

We’re excited to share that we’ve created a new app that automates the process of downloading your reports from Pourato and the Secure Data Portal - saving you valuable time and removing the need for repetitive manual steps. 

 

Instead of logging in and downloading files one by one, the app automatically retrieves your latest reports and securely saves them to your school’s Google Drive, so they’re always ready when you need them. Once the app is set up, simply open it whenever you’d like it to commence the download, and it will quietly do the work for you in the background.

 

Getting started is easy:

  1. Locate the MOE_Setup file in your Google Drive (saved in the MOE_Reports folder), then download and install it.
  2. Watch our short setup video to connect the app to your school’s Google Drive (click the button below to view).
  3. Double-click the desktop icon to launch the app and start receiving your reports automatically.

If you have any questions or need assistance with installation, please contact Harpreet, our Xero & Cloud Systems Manager, on 04 909 7729. He’ll be happy to guide you through any steps.

 

Thank you for your continued partnership. We’re always looking for new ways to make things simpler and more efficient for our schools, and we hope this new app is a helpful step forward.
