XporterOnDemand: 
Installing for WCBS

To connect to your MIS, Xporter usually needs to be provided with a user account with certain permissions or some “API” details.

“API” details usually consist of a URL (website address) and a username and password. Sometimes it might be an “API Key” instead (a long list of letters and numbers).

Before you install Xporter, it is a good idea to have these details ready to go so you can finish the installation all in one go. Sometimes you may have to request these details from your MIS provider.

You will be provided a link to download the installer once you finish your registration. However, if you have closed this window or moved to another machine without getting the setup file, you can visit:

Have your WCBS Pass server information and WCBS school ID ready before you begin, you can contact WCBS directly about this prior to install for assistance if required.
