We are happy to be getting together again, this year at the DoubleTree West by Hilton, in beautiful Edmonton, AB! The ATLE SIS Administrators’ Conference 2024 promises to be the best conference yet with a well-rounded program with plenty of sessions for professional growth and tons of opportunities for networking and socializing!

Power School Customization Workshop - Part 2 (Including PowerQueries)

Sign up or log in to save this to your schedule, view media, leave feedback and see who's attending!


Despite the fact that last year's customization workshop was somewhat derailed by technical issues, this year is not a simple re-hash of last year.  I'll provide last year's activities as an attachment for anyone who missed it.

Last year we started with the dashboard, reviewing existing data.

This year we will start by describing a business need and planning out, then creating, several database tables to support that process.

Over this two-part workshop, we'll then go through implementing the various tools relating to that process including:
a) Creating add/edit screens
b) Creating division and school-level control and configuration pages
c) Creating tools to make mass changes 
d) Creating import/export tools, including a PowerQuery useful for synchronizing data with other systems.

There are a number of interesting ways that this project can develop, depending upon the interest of activity participants.  There should be things familiar to the most basic of PowerSchool customizers to allow you to get your footing as we ultimately develop the framework for a simple yet powerful customization.

*Note: Attendees will need to have access to their own test server in order to actively participate - the presenter is unable to provide a test environment.
