Logging Into Versatrans e-Link

When password retrieval is enabled using the Versatrans Integration Administrator Utility, e-Link will require an email address that it can be used to provide password retrieval (see, Specifying System Options (e-Link) in the Tyler’s Versatrans Integration Administrator Utility User’s Guide or online help). Upon login, if no email address is detected for the user account, a password retrieval dialog will be displayed. Completion of the password retrieval information is not required in order to use e-Link. However, the password retrieval dialog will continue to be displayed each time the user logs in until a valid email address and security question is entered.

To log into e-Link:

1.	Launch the software/web browser that you use to access the World Wide Web.

There are a number of ways for parents to access e-Link and they all require different URL’s that are provided by the school district:

•

A URL that provides direct access to the School/Transportation Search screen using a “guest” account. For example: http://yourschool/elinkrp/Students/Search.aspx This is enabled by selecting Allow access to School/Trans page without logging in checkbox on the School Transportation tab of the e-Link options in the Versatrans Integration Administrator Utility. For more information, see Specifying School/Transportation Search Options (e-Link) and Bypassing Login for School/Transportation Search in the Tyler’s Versatrans Integration Administrator Utility User’s Guide or online help.
