Technical Details and Reports
In this section you will find all of the information and tools you need to integrate the service into your website program pages.
Integration into a website is accomplished using a web link or an iframe. The URL for the link / iframe is constructed using your icode (institution code) and program codes from program navigator as parameters. You can add multiple programs as parameters. To find the URL for each of the programs at your school see the Reports section. See sample code Configurations below. You can also learn how to customize the CSS styles for your implementation.
If you are embedding using an iframe there is information for auto-sizing the iframe height.

We recommend that you preview the FAQs before you integrate data with your school for the first time.
