Google Drive Integration

• Schoolworks uses Google Docs & Slides to generate PDF or Word documents which can be printed or attached to emails.

• Schoolworks uses a custom Google integration which connects to Google Docs, Google Slides and Google Drive.

  • This is configured via a Google API token and link stored in a custom setting which your systems administrator or Schoolworks Support will have configured during your implementation.

• Each Schoolworks customer will have a Google Account setup specifically to create and store documents.

  • The Google output documents (PDF/Word) are created from template documents which are stored in a Merge_Templates folder in your Google Drive.

  • The template document in Google Drive is then linked to Schoolworks using a Document Template record.

  • The Document Template records can be accessed via the Document Templates Tab - please see your System Administrator if you don’t have the Document Templates tab available.

** You may need to login to Google Drive with your school's Google Account details. If your school does not usually use Google Drive, the details will be something like: <yourschoolname>sw@gmail.com. with a secure password. Contact your System Administrator if you do not have the credentials for your school **
