Reviewing your KAMAR Settings (Custom)

Please make these requested changes in KAMAR Directory Services. The first change limits the options that students and caregivers have to opt out of sharing required data. The second ensures we do not receive caregiver details that are not required.

Data Sharing

KAMAR have made changes so that parents/caregivers and students over 16 may choose what data is shared with third party providers such as EdPotential. When KAMAR recognises a third party provider as transferring and storing all school data within Australia and New Zealand, the option to not send any details is no longer present. It is still possible, however, for caregivers and students to choose to send no Other data, which includes assessment data.

Our new subdomain, kamar.goedpotential.com, is now correctly recognised by KAMAR Directory Services as transferring and storing all school data within Australia and New Zealand. We strongly urge you to change the address of your EdPotential application in KAMAR Directory Services. Doing so will disable the full student opt-out option and will ensure we receive the required student details, including class enrolments, for all currently enrolled students.

Please log in to KAMAR and follow the simple steps in this guide to update the address in your KAMAR Directory Services immediately.

  • Go to Setup > Server > Directory Services

  • Disable the service by deselecting Check and Enable

  • Change the Address to kamar.goedpotential.com/v3

  • Select Check and Enable

  • On the next day, after the overnight sync has occurred, return to Directory Services and select Run Now and OK

  • Go to Data Sharing Service

  • Check whether EdPotential is still visible in this tab

If it remains visible you may choose to deselect Can Opt Out of Sharing Personal Details or add a comment which will be visible to parents/caregivers and students over 16. For example:

Your teachers use EdPotential to monitor and analyse assessment results, enabling them to complete required reporting efficiently. EdPotential meets the highest security and privacy standards available.

Notify us at [email protected] once you've completed these steps and we'll check the student data sharing flags which come through over the next day or so.

Caregiver Details

Click on Students Details to check that Caregiver Details aren't being sent unnecessarily. These are only required by schools which have enabled parent access to EdPotential. Please untick the related options if they are selected by default.

  • Thanks for taking the time to make these updates!
