Installation Instructions To ensure that the Xporter application will function as expected, we recommend that a dedicated SIMS user be created specifically to interact with the software i.e. Groupcall.

This user can also be an existing SIMS user if required.

Please ensure that the user you decide to use is a member of ALL the following SIMS groups:

• Personnel Officer

• School Administrator

• Senior Management Team

• Third Party Reporting

You will use the user you have created when setting up the Extractor so please ensure you have those details to hand.
