Kamar groups and Kindo for teachers

Information for teachers or other staff who use Kamar groups where charges are applied using Kindo Payables.
 
Kindo imports up-to-date data directly from Kamar. This includes Kamar groups, which are visible in a ‘view-only’ format in Kindo (group membership cannot be edited in Kindo).
This information updates hourly, on the hour.
 
School admin / finance staff can use these Kamar groups to apply charges.
To ensure that all charges are applied correctly, please ensure that the membership of your Kamar groups is kept updated as needed. This includes both adding new students, and removing those who are no longer relevant.
Examples might include tournament fees for a water polo tournament, or ticket costs for an optional drama trip.

If a new student is added to the Kamar group for the water polo tournament, admin staff will add the charge for the student (using their Payable Maintenance page).
 
If a student is removed from the Kamar group for the optional drama trip their charge can be removed (and refunded if necessary, according to school policies and sport/extra-curricular registrations). Please communicate with your admin/finance staff as needed.
 
For further information you can access the Kindo Admin Support pages:
Kindo (Seed) Roll provides further explanation of the data flow from Kamar to Kindo
