Centris Sync

Integration between IEP Direct with PowerSchool is available through the use of Centris Sync. By enabling Centris Sync, you can automatically feed data from PowerSchool to IEP Direct, which provides the ability to post the most current student and guardian demographic data to IEP Direct on a nightly basis.

Using AutoSend, once a day at a specified time, PowerSchool can generate a file that contains a set of objects for each student in the database. This file can be stored in a designated directory where it is retrieved and then removed by the Centris Sync Agent.
