Database Integration and User Management
e2Campus offer the most user management options available in the industry.
 Opt-In We strongly recommend opt-in data, yet accept data uploads when warranted. Participants that opt-in to e2Campus go through a quick realtime validation, which if done manually via upload would take much longer. Real-time validation during opt-in proves:
1. User can operate device
2. Device accepts SMS
3. True identity
4. Correct number
5. Correct carrier
Mobile Opt-In. This functionality allows students, faculty, staff and others to subscribe their mobile phone to receive alerts by simply texting the school’s keyword to the e2Campus short code, 79516. Each school can reserve their own custom account keyword and group keywords so that their users may subscribe from anywhere, anytime. Mobile opt-in does not collect names or e-mail addresses for subscribers, so it may not be the right method for all schools.
Opt-Out. Although we strongly recommend opt-in mode, this optional setting can switch the system into Opt-Out mode, which bypasses validation and instead sends a “You have been registered...” text with an option to opt-out. The Opt-Out Manager offers a simple, streamlined process within the e2Campus console to enable 100 percent participation in the emergency alerting system. It walks an administrator through the steps to import the recipient data, send a registration alert, collect opt-out users, list bad data for resolution, and store the information for reporting later.
Automated User Data Management. Through our easy automated secure FTP process (SmartSync), you can upload user data from most ERP or LMS system including Datatel, Peoplesoft, Jenzabar, or Sungard.
Data Uploads On Demand. Upload all database contact information of individual recipients to speed implementation.
Single Sign On. e2Campus supports the most popular single sign on protocols in education including LDAP, Active Directory, or Shibboleth.
Shibboleth® Integration. This single sign-on platform combined with Omnilert’s participation in the InCommon® Federation, means that existing Shibboleth-enabled organizations will immediately benefit from e2Campus’ enhanced user management and single sign-on convenience without additional integration. Single sign-on capabilities enable users to leverage their home institution’s login credentials to jump from one secure online application to another without having to set up and then remember multiple passwords for each resource they use.
User Management API. This Application Programming Interface allows schools to develop their own custom software and/or interface to manage users in the e2Campus system.
Auto Opt-Out. The database can automatically remove
a person from e2Campus notifications with user-defined expiration
dates. Of course individual subscribers can remove themselves
at anytime and the Administrator of the service can remove
any subscriber at any time.
NetID Match. During the subscriber signup process,
e2Campus can automatically insert your school’s
existing username/password from LDAP, Active Directory, or
UserID for a subscriber into the e2Campus signup form. Simply
place the signup form within your intranet and the form can
automatically capture this information so users cannot input
data that is different from your existing database.
SmartCode™. Simply cut and paste a line of code
into your new or existing school web page to create your registration,
access point, or to display the actual notifications. One
line of SmartCode inserted into your site creates a registration
page without forcing the subscriber to leave your site. Another
line of SmartCode, called the Bulletin Board or Website Widget, can display
the actual alert content on any web page. This means there
is no new system to create and your subscribers don't have
to jump to a third-party site to start the process. What could
be easier than that?
