Import times
Satchel One can sync with your MIS in order to obtain and surface data on a regular basis.
Schools using SIMS or Bromcom can choose to sync their MIS data with Satchel One via Groupcall XoD (Xporter on Demand) or Wonde. However, schools using any other MIS can only use Groupcall XoD. Satchel One does not currently support Wonde integration for other MIS's (such as Arbor, iSAMS etc).
Some data types import more regularly than others. Check the table below for more information on when imports take place:
Data type | Import time(s) |
Main (users* / classes / year groups / inclusion data) | 4am for XoD 5am for Wonde 2am for RM (Scotland) |
Photos | Monday at 4am for XoD Monday and Tuesday at 5am for Wonde |
Timetables** | 6am - 9am - 10am - 12pm - 3pm - 6pm |

* Please note that any changes to names, staff roles and / or email addresses made in your MIS will not be automatically reflected in Satchel One. Click here to learn more about this.
** Please avoid changing Timetables during the school day where possible.
Please also be aware that cover lessons managed by the SIMS Cover app / alternative provision sessions managed via Nova T-6 will not be shown in Satchel One.
*** Please ensure that if you're using Attendance Pro, all present and historical marks are logged in Satchel One to avoid data conflicts. For more information on how to use Attendance Pro successfully, please click here.
**** Same-day changes are not available for Documents as data is uploaded from your MIS to XoD overnight. Any new 'Linked Documents' created in your MIS will be accessible via Satchel One the next day, allowing you to perform Document imports as needed.
