Seamless Login & App Switching

A More Connected Tes Experience is Coming

Over the coming weeks, Tes will be introducing Seamless Login and App Switching to Parents Meetings and Clubs & Events.

These enhancements are designed to make it easier for school staff who use multiple Tes products to move between applications without unnecessary interruptions. Together, they create a more connected experience across the wider Tes ecosystem while maintaining the security and access controls you already rely on.

What's Changing?

We're introducing two new features designed to help eligible users move more efficiently between participating Tes products.

Seamless Login enables users with a Tes Universal Login account to move between participating Tes products without having to sign in again each time.

As long as you have access to the destination product and it supports Seamless Login, you'll be able to move directly between products while maintaining a secure authenticated session.

This means less time signing in and more time focusing on day-to-day school activities.

New App Switcher

A new App Switcher icon will be added to the Tes-branded header. This provides quick access to other Tes products from within Parents Meetings or Clubs & Events.

The App Switcher allows eligible users to:

View available Tes products
Navigate between participating Tes applications
Access products directly from a central location
Move more easily between connected workflows

The App Switcher will be visible to Admin and Teacher users. Parent users will not see the App Switcher.

Accessing Other Tes Products

If your school subscribes to another participating Tes product and you have the required permissions, selecting that product from the App Switcher will take you directly into it.

Examples of participating Tes products may include:

Class Charts
MyConcern
Provision Maps
Other supported Tes applications

If your school does not subscribe to a selected product, you may be directed to a product information or marketing page instead.

What Isn't Changing?

While accessing Tes products will become simpler, there are no changes to the core functionality of Parents Meetings or Clubs & Events.

You can continue to:

Create and manage meetings as normal
Run existing workflows and processes
Access your current data and settings
Use the platform in the same way you do today

The update adds convenience and connectivity without changing how the products work.

Who Will Be Affected?

These changes apply to all schools using:

Tes Parents Meetings
Tes Clubs & Events

The users most likely to benefit are:

School Administrators
Teachers
Staff who regularly use multiple Tes products

Parent users are not included in this release and will not see the App Switcher.

Why Are We Making These Changes?

These enhancements form part of Tes's wider strategy to create a connected product ecosystem and improve the overall user experience.

Benefits include:

Reduced time spent logging into multiple systems
Easier navigation between Tes products
Improved workflow efficiency for busy school staff
A more connected and consistent experience across the Tes platform

Frequently Asked Questions

Seamless Login allows users with a supported Tes account to move between participating Tes products without needing to log in again for each application.

What is the App Switcher?

The App Switcher is a new icon in the Tes header that provides access to participating Tes products from a single location.

Who can use the App Switcher?

The App Switcher is available to Admin and Teacher users. Parent users will not see the feature.

Will I always be signed in automatically?

Not always. If the destination product does not support Seamless Login, or if you do not have permission to access that product, you may still be asked to sign in.

What happens when I sign out?

Logging out of one participating Tes product will sign you out of the shared session across participating products. This helps maintain a secure experience across the Tes ecosystem.

Will security settings change?

No. Existing security controls such as session timeouts, logout behaviour and multi-factor authentication (MFA) continue to operate as expected.

Why was I taken to a marketing page instead of a product?

If your school does not subscribe to a selected Tes product, the App Switcher may direct you to information about that product rather than the application itself.

Do I need to do anything to enable these features?

No. The update will be delivered automatically as part of the planned rollout.
