How do I update Striver users from my MIS?
Whether you are a new customer looking to create accounts for the first time, or an existing user looking to create accounts for your new intake and rollover the current pupils into their new classes. Then the easiest way to do this is via the MIS sync wizard.
We have partnered with Groupcall- Integration and GDPR experts whose Xporter-on-Demand (XoD) tool allows us to update Srtiver in just a few clicks. Not only is this the quickest way of creating Striver user accounts, it negates the need for CSV files and is therefore safer and GDPR compliant.
This service comes at no extra cost to you so to set up, please follow the instructions below:
Setting up Groupcall XoD
This only needs to be done once but we cannot run the MIS sync wizard without first setting up XoD and authorising the relevant data to be shared with Striver.
- Login to Striver and head to manage users.

- Once in 2Lasso, you will see a "tools" option at the top. If you select tools and then select "MIS sync wizard" you will see this pop-out. Where you will be asked to choose which data areas from the MIS you wish for Purple Mash to see. Read this information carefully and you can also see more details about what data Purple Mash requires here: What MIS data does 2Simple require?

- Confirm you have chosen the data you wish Striver to extract and click "Set up Groupcall Xporter for Striver". This will generate an email to you from Groupcall asking you to consent the data share. Follow the instructions on this email carefully and be sure to enter the details of the person with authority to share data if this is not you.
- Once authorised and installed, you're now ready for the MIS sync wizard and won't have to repeat any of the above steps again!
Running the MIS sync wizard
- Again, you will need to log into Striver and head to Manage users from the admin area and select "MIS sync wizard" from the tools section.
- This time you will see step 1 of the wizard, asking you to choose the user name format of your pupils and staff.

- Click next to move onto step 2 which is selecting the password formats. You can select by year group as a text-typed password may not suitable for your EYFS pupils but perfectly suitable for your KS2 children.
- Again, click next to move onto the next step- mapping year groups. This step only needs doing once, but is very important. Depending on what MIS you use, you may have a different naming format for each year group. For example, "Year 6" could be known in your MIS as "Y6", "Year Six", "6", "Yr6" etc but Purple Mash will only recognize "Year 6". Therefore simply map your year groups to the Purple Mash format.
- The final step is optional, simply click next again if not applicable to your school but you do have the option to import subject groups.
- Once you have hit next you will be shown a summary of the information you are importing. Check this is what you were expecting to see and hit "finish" to create the user accounts. Any new staff accounts will be sent an activation email and you will be able to print out login cards for the pupils.
