Add a partner module

Add a partner module that will launch a partner app from within Ellucian GO.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the Ellucian Mobile Cloud Configuration System.
  2. In the Configurations list, expand your configuration and click Application Modules.
  3. In the Modules list, click the + icon at the bottom.
  4. On the Add Module form, click the Partner Integration Center tab.
  5. Click the + icon next to the partner module that you want to add.
  6. On the module configuration screen, enter display and availability settings:
    FieldDescription
    Display Name If desired, change the display name from the default. This is the name of the module as displayed in the list of modules in the configuration tool and on users' devices.
    Icon If desired, change the icon from the default. Browse to choose one of the available icons, or enter the fully-formed URL of a custom icon.
    Display in Menu Select this check box (the default) if you want this module to be displayed in the module list on user's devices.
    Clear this check box if you do not want this module displayed in the module list on user's devices. For example:
    • You want this module to be launched only in response to a beacon notification.
    • You want to temporarily hide this module because it is only applicable at certain times during the school year.

    The module still appears in the Modules list in the Ellucian Mobile Cloud Configuration application, but with an icon indicating that it is hidden from users' devices.

    Available to Specify the Mobile Roles or Role Service Roles of users who should be able to view this instance of the module. The default is Everyone.

    These are roles that you set up in the configuration general settings, as described in Understand roles. Mobile users must be logged in to have a role assigned to them. Adding role filtering to a module will require them to log in to be able to view the content of that module.

    Hide from users before they login Select this check box if you want to prevent users from viewing this instance of the module in the menu before logging in to Ellucian GO.

    This field is unavailable if the module is not displayed on the menu; that is, if you cleared the Display in Menu check box.

  7. If you want to enable launching of this module by Ellucian GO users in response to a beacon notification, enter the settings below.
    Before entering these settings, you must define the beacon in the Beacons server plugin using the procedure in Add a beacon definition to Ellucian Mobile.
    1. Select the Use Beacon to Launch Module check box.
    2. Enter the settings below in the Beacon Info section that appears after you select the check box.
    FieldDescription
    Name Select one of the beacons that you defined in the Beacons server plugin.
    Notification Message Enter the text of the notification that will appear on the user's device.
  8. In the Setup section of the module configuration form, enter the web application settings below.
    Note: The Setup section is displayed only for partner web applications. It is not displayed for partner mobile apps.
    FieldDescription
    URL This is the web application URL defined by the Ellucian partner for the web application. Replace any values in brackets {} with appropriate values for your institution, and delete the brackets.
    Secure If the partner has specified that this web application requires authentication and supports single sign-on, this check box will be selected.

    If you have not configured single sign-on from Ellucian GO to the partner’s web application, clear this check box. Ellucian GO users will be prompted to sign into the web application even if they are signed in to Ellucian GO.

    See Single Sign on to Web Apps for more information and instructions for enabling single sign-on for Ellucian Mobile.

    Partner web applications that use SSL should use certificates from common certificate authorities so that they will be recognized by mobile devices.

    Open in External Browser Select this check box if you want this web application to open in the device's browser rather than within Ellucian GO.
    Note: You must select this check box for any web application or website that accepts online donations to avoid potential rejection from the app stores.
  9. Click Save.
