jblackburnHWGA Posted January 19, 2023 Posted January 19, 2023 Hi, we are migrating from Firefly to SharePoint, i just wondered if anyone has gone through this process and knows a way of easily transferring all the materials from Firefly? Many Thanks We've done this around 2 years ago. We found it was far easier to manually take the resources and add into new pages on Sharepoint. We do have a dedicated staff member who just works on this area. It was a good renewal process for us as we could update sections as we went. We were surprised at how many sections were out of date! I would say its is transferable but its a time consuming task. If you want a carbon copy then I'm not sure if there is an easy way to do it.
Mudbar Posted January 22, 2023 Posted January 22, 2023 What platform are you using for parent communications? We are looking to move from Firefly to Sharepoint.
kevin_lane Posted January 22, 2023 Posted January 22, 2023 What’s the reason to move away from firefly?
Mudbar Posted January 22, 2023 Posted January 22, 2023 I migrated our file server to sharepoint hub. Its great for internal users but was wondering what platform to use as a parent hub. Firefly doesn't get used as much as it should. Looking to use Teams and onenote to set homework.
jblackburnHWGA Posted January 23, 2023 Posted January 23, 2023 We use arbor which has a parents part in that parents can log into and see timetables etc We plan to have a parent portal in sharepoint. Teams is also releasing parent app this year which will show a lot of details to parents
TechMonkey Posted January 23, 2023 Posted January 23, 2023 We plan to have a parent portal in sharepoint. Teams is also releasing parent app this year which will show a lot of details to parents How are you getting over the no anon access to SharePoint? I've been trying to get a Careers information hub setup for parents and pupils and can't find anyway to allow parental access without giving them logins.
jblackburnHWGA Posted January 23, 2023 Posted January 23, 2023 You'd need guest logins and then setup the hub is a way to lock it all down. We might not still. As we have Arbor we can give personalised information and then use the website to generalised. It would just be nice as we use Sharepoint heavily with the staff and students.
TechMonkey Posted January 23, 2023 Posted January 23, 2023 You'd need guest logins and then setup the hub is a way to lock it all down. Ah, so parents would have to login still. OK, we may have to go that way.
