System Setup - School Service 

For safety and security reasons, Travellers and Guardians must be registered to ZenduBUS by the school administration via the Admin portal. There is no option for individuals to self register. Only registered users setup by the school will be able to view the data on ZenduBUS. This means that the school must create the user accounts for both the Guardians and Travellers with the appropriate assigned pairing. 

Please setup in the following order: 

1. Route Configuration 

2. Guardian Registration 

3. Traveller Registration 

Route Configuration 

1. Navigate to the “Routes” tab.

2. Select “+ Add Routes” 

3. Populate the Route fields and Save 

This route has now been saved and can be assigned to Travellers. Alternatively, the routes can be configured and setup using APIs, Please contact ZService for support. 

Guardian Registration 

Guardians can be added either individually or through Excel file import. 

Importing Guardians via Excel 

When adding many Guardians, it will be very tedious to individually enter the information. Therefore, for bulk adding we recommend selecting on the “Import” tab and downloading the Excel template. Once the template is downloaded, you can go ahead and populate the Excel sheet with the Guardian data and then upload the populated Excel file. This will allow the system to automatically create the Guardian users without hassle.

Adding Guardians Individually 

For the addition of a single Guardian, select on “+Add Guardian”, populate the fields and select “Add” to save.

Traveller Registration 

Travellers can be added either individually or through Excel file import.
