Send Digital Document Communications

Digital documents are reports or other documents that have been extracted from SIMS. You can send digital documents via the MyEd Name of the application parents and carers use to receive messages sent by schools using IRIS Reach. app, text message, or email.

Documents that can be sent are created in SIMS from the following report path:Focus/Assessment/individual reports and the Examinations module (for examination timetables), or any documents that have been loaded directly to Linked Documents. The report is then imported to IRIS Reach using a small utility that has to be installed on a local PC which has a connection to SIMS.

If you have not already installed this utility, please contact our Support Team and request an online session to be scheduled to install the digidocs utility.
