Importing and updating MIS Lookups

Once your system is integrated with your MIS, your lookups will be available to be used within your application forms. If you make a change to the lookups within your MIS, you'll need to re-synchronise these to your A+ system. 

Lookups are controlled within your MIS and any changes you wish to make should therefore be actioned in your MIS first, before the changes can be reflected in A+. 

Cloud-based MIS Process

For cloud-based MIS (Bromcom, Arbor, iSAMS), you can update your lookups directly within your A+ system. Navigate to Settings > School Settings > Integration and click "Download Lookup Values". 

This will produce a CSV file which will be stored in the downloads area of your device. 

Navigate to Settings > Properties > Properties and select "Import answers". 

Click **"**Choose file" to attach the CSV you just downloaded, and then select **"**Import". The import will proceed, and your lookups will be up to date and synchronised with your MIS. 

SIMS Process

For schools using SIMS, you need to log into your Admissions+ SIMS App in order for your lookups to be updated/synchronised. You may have a desktop app for this, or you may access it via your SIMS hosted service. 

Upon logging into your Admissions+ SIMS App, a scan will take place to detect any changes made within SIMS and you will be shown a record of all changes, and can click the "update" button in order to synchronise those changes within SIMS to your A+ system.

You can also import your User-Defined Fields (UDFs) to use within your A+ forms as well - see our separate UDF guide here.
