New School Year Process using Salamander and SDS

[ronnoco]

Hello all,

 

I'm new to using Teams. Previously, Teams were setup with a Powershell script but I can't get it working properly so have setup the free Salamander utility and have it creating CSV files which Upload to SDS. This is updating Team memberships ok.

 

My question is, what will happen on the first day I run it for the new school year? I know SDS no longer creates the classes automatically and the Teachers need to do this now but what is the exact process for the creation of those classes?

 

For example, if we currently have a class called ComSci-10-1, will that automatically be renamed to 2019/2020 ComSci-10-1 then a new class called ComSci-10-1 be available or do I manually need to archive the class?

 

Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi Gary, just a heads up, SDS is due to start adding Team creation back in soon. Also the csv files will be changing from v1 format to v2 format, I think you will be able to still use v1 but according to Microsoft they prefer you use v2.
