Managing rules during Edusync Google setup

Allow only certain users to be managed by Edusync Google with this guide.

 

Managing who is affected by Edusync Google

Matching over 1000 users upon initial setup

Matching over 1000 users during initial setup can sometimes exceed processing limits. To address this, we recommend breaking down the matching process into smaller batches using the 'Rules' feature on the 'Settings' page.

3. Complete matching: once the initial match is successful, remove the existing rules and run 'Match users' again to process the remaining users.

Troubleshooting:

If you encounter issues saving or completing the match, even after reducing the batch size, incrementally add year group rules. This will further reduce the workload and ensure successful matching
