New features and enhancements
Integration with Apple School Manager
- Sign in with Apple ID - Apple School Manager users can now use their existing Managed Apple ID to sign up and sign in to Claris Connect.
- Onboarding - Streamlined onboarding process that helps get school districts started with Claris Connect and allows them to sync their Student Information System (SIS) data with Apple School Manager in only a few minutes.
- Aeries SIS connector - Added a new connector for the Aeries SIS with an action that automates importing and uploading data from the SIS via the OneRoster API directly to Apple School Manager.
