Summary
Provides steps to configure Groupcall Xporter for SIMS.
Requirements
You will need to download and install Groupcall Xporter, either:
On your SIMS server, where you use SIMS on-premises, or
On any other server where ESS (the vendors of SIMS) have installed their Third Party Connector* software.
*The Third Party Connector is a locally installed SIMS computer client, along with a VPN setup to permit connection to hosted SIMS service. It is also a specific requirement for Xporter if you are using SIMS Connected.
For more information, please refer to DWN4153727 (see the Other Useful Articles section below) and the Possible Issues section below.
Procedure
Enter your SIMS logon details and click Login. NOTE: for the SIMS user we recommend a complex password. This is a mixture of upper and lowercase letters, numbers and symbols, which should be at least 12 characters long and, in this case, does not need to be memorable.
When connection to your MIS is confirmed, click Next. Note: Groupcall advises that the SIMS user entered into the Xporter configuration wizard needs to be a member of the following groups in SIMS:
School Administrator
Senior management team
Personnel officer
Third party reporting
Return to step 12 of DWN4153727 from the Other Useful Articles section below to complete the installation.
Possible Issues
If you have any connectivity issues between Xporter and SIMS or SIMS Connected, please re-check your SIMS user's credentials and also check this Groupcall support article.
More Information
SIMS Connected
SIMS Connected was previously known as cloud-based SIMS or Hosted SIMS and renamed following the sale of SIMS from Capita to ESS. This is where SIMS is not on-premises. Groupcall Xporter can still be installed locally and connected in the same way as long as the Third Party Connector/VPN tool is installed, as per the Requirements section above.

Part 5: What “Closing the Circle” Could Mean for You
Noir
The E1568 series has always been defined by its contrast. The finish offers a deep, matte-black texture that absorbs light, making it a favorite for modern offices and "mood-first" living spaces. Conversely, the Sky finish provides a soft, ethereal blue-grey gradient that mimics the natural light of a clear morning. Lustery’s e1568 Noir Here’s a solid content piece
