The Team SIS ID allows Teams to flow automatically into the SIS if your school has implemented a write-back solution; this will help eliminate double handling. With Teams stored in the SIS, they are readily available for student reports.
You can utilise Team SIS IDs in the Teams detail page, Team spreadsheets and Team Exports.
Teams and Groups are interchangeable terms in Clipboard.
Benefits of Team SIS IDs in Clipboard
Saves time and prevents double-handling - Team SIS IDs enable Teams (alternatively named, Groups) to be written back to a SIS.
Student report benefits - Team lists can be stored in the SIS, so they are available for student reports.

Therefore you can associate a Session with a particular student in a Team. To illustrate this, let's consider the scenario where you want a student's school report to reflect that they participated in singing lessons throughout the entire semester. To accomplish this, add the class code as the Team SIS ID. You can then view the Team SIS IDs through Team Exports.
