LDAP Same-Sign-On Parameters.
Users log in to eCarnival with their domain credentials.
To set this up, first log in to eCarnival using the administrative override account:
Username: Superadmin
Password: 1amSuperadmin
From the eCarnival homepage, click the "Configuration" gear icon in the lower left corner.
Scroll down to LDAP SSO Configuration, and fill in the required paramters.
You might consider creating new security groups specifically for eCarnival, but if existing security groups fit your needs, you may enter their names to link them to eCarnival roles.
There are 3 types of users in eCarnival:
Data Entry - has access to the eCarnival homepage and results pages only.
Carnival Coordinators - has access to the Carnival Management, Student Management, and Event Management Pages, as well as results pages. Coordinators cannot do data entry.
Administrators - has access to the Configuration page, as well as the results pages.
After saving the LDAP SSO Paramters, the Superadmin account will be directed back to the Homepage.
Please log out (using the Logout button in the lower left)
and log back in with a domain account in an eCarnival Administrators group to continue.
Other Configuration
From the Configuration page, you can also customise eCarnival to fit your school's colour scheme, and also upload your school's logo to display front-and-centre.
You can also backup your eCarnival database, including your configuration parameters and theme, and download updates for eCarnival.
Importing Students
Log in with an account with Carnival Coordinator access.
Click Add Student in the top right.
You can bulk import your student list as a .csv file. Hover over the (?) tooltip for information about the format of the file.
Once the import is complete, a log file will be downloaded with a summary of the results of the import.
During the bulk import, the student Houses will be created and are visible in Carnival Management > House Management. From here you can set the colour of your Houses.
That's it for the initial setup! Now, you can create a new Carnival, add events to the carnival program, enter scores and view the results.
An additional How-To Guide for Data Entry and Carnival Coordinators will soon be available. In the meantime, please contact [email protected] for additional support.
