PowerSchool ERP System Administration

Profile Page

The Profile page allows you to configure many of the options for the PowerSchool ERP Employee App.

If your district has EAC, when the PowerSchool ERP updates are installed, your settings from EAC will default into the Employee App Configuration options. If your district does not have EAC, the Profile items will be installed with their defaults.

Some fields on this page can also update the Employee Access Center Profile settings. Those items will have a checkbox indicating you would also like to update the setting in your Employee Access Center profile. If the box is checked, when you save this field, it will also change the value for the corresponding identifier in EAC.

Note: After the initial installation, if you make changes to your EAC configuration, the Employee App configuration will not automatically be updated. If you wish to make the change, you will need to make it in both profiles, or make the change in the Employee App Configuration Profile and check the Change EAC? checkbox.
