Kindo (Seed) Roll

Kindo (Seed) Roll

Access: Payable Administrators

Access this page from the Admin home page under the Operations heading, by selecting Kindo (seed) roll.
                                 
This page shows student and caregiver data received from your school management system (SMS). It can be used to review the information coming into Kindo and check which caregivers have set up Kindo accounts.

The data shown may include:
  1. Student ID
  2. Student first name
  3. Student last name
  4. Student room
  5. Caregiver email
  6. Caregiver mobile number
  7. Caregiver first name
  8. Caregiver last name 
  9. Caregiver ID
Kindo also receives student start and left dates from your SMS. These are not shown as separate columns, but students who have left and are still on the roll will display Left beside their name.

We call this the Kindo (Seed) Roll because it contains the data used to seed Kindo accounts. It is a useful reference for administrators who want to see what information is being received from the SMS.

Student and caregiver data only moves beyond the seed roll when a caregiver signs up to Kindo. If a family chooses not to use Kindo, their data remains in the seed roll only.

This data is synced regularly, so updates made in your SMS will come through to Kindo. Please allow some time for changes to appear.



Page overview

The Kindo (Seed) Roll page includes:
  1. A list of students and associated caregivers received from your SMS
  2. A Search field to quickly find a student or caregiver
  3. Refresh to reload the latest data
  4. Export excel to download the roll as an Excel file
  5. Export text to download the roll as a text file
The first four column headers can be sorted:

Account Indicators

Icons next to caregiver names show account status:

  • A graduation hat icon indicates a School Managed Account
  • A K icon indicates the caregiver has a Kindo account
These indicators help you quickly see which caregivers have set up Kindo and which are still managed by the school.



Searching the seed roll

Use the Search field to find matching student or caregiver records. This can be useful for checking:

  • caregiver email addresses
  • whether a caregiver has a Kindo account
  • students in a particular room
  • members of a specific family

Pre-enrol students

Each school can choose whether pre-enrol student information is imported from their SMS into Kindo. Contact the helpdesk if you would like to check or change your current setup.

For schools using Hero as their SMS, you can choose to import:

1. All pre-enrol students
2. Only pre-enrol students who have both a year level and room assigned

Exporting

You can export the Kindo (Seed) Roll using either Export excel or Export text.

The Excel export groups students and their associated caregivers together. Each student appears first, followed by their caregiver records.

Understanding the Excel export

The spreadsheet includes the following columns:

  • Row type – Indicates whether the row is a student or caregiver
  • Student id / role – Student ID (for student rows) or caregiver label
  • First name –  Student or caregiver first name
  • Last name - Student or caregiver last name
  • Room / CG id - Student room (for students) or caregiver ID
  • Year / Mobile – Student year level or caregiver mobile number
  • Left / Email – Blank or “Left” (for students), or caregiver email address
  • Left date / Kindo –
    • For students: may show a left date (if applicable)
    • For caregivers: shows Kindo account status

How to read the data

  • Each student row is followed by one or more caregiver rows
  • Caregiver rows contain contact details such as email and mobile number
  • If a caregiver has a Kindo account, this will be indicated in the final column
  • If a student has left but remains in the data, this will be reflected in the export

Kamar schools

Schools using Kamar should see caregivers 1 to 4 coming across: two from Residence A and two from Residence B, where applicable.

If only two caregivers are showing, these may be from positions 1 and 2, or positions 1 and 3.
