If you're using our DoED integration features to process financial aid in Populi, you'll be pleased to know that Populi can now connect to FTI-SAIG and automatically download ISIRs for 2024-2025. Here's the quick overview pending update of the official documentation.
- We've added new FTI-specific settings to Financial Aid > Settings > DoED Integration:
- FTI Mailbox
- FTI Password (this is your FTI FTP/Mailbox password—NOT your normal EdConnect Passsword!)
- FTI Approval Code
- FTI Runtime/Certificate File
- FTI Config/INI File
- The information you'll need to fill in these settings can be downloaded from FTI-TDCM.
- You can generate a temporary password on Participants > Change Password link.
- If you generate a password like this, you MUST select the Let Populi Update FTI-SAIG password option in Populi DoED settings. This is because the temporary password you create in FTI-TDCM cannot be used directly by Populi.
- If you don't want Populi to manage your FTI SAIG password, you can create a temporary password and then use EdConnect to reset it into a real password. You can then enter this new password in Populi and leave the Let Populi Update FTI-SAIG password option unchecked.
- Once you enter all your FTI settings into Populi, you can see the status of your FTI SAIG integration on Financial Aid > DoED > SAIG Log under the new FTI-SAIG section.
- Populi will check the FTI-SAIG system roughly every 30 minutes (just like the older SAIG integration) and download files. However, the FTI SAIG downloads happen on a separate 30-minute timer, so don't expect both types of files to show up simultaneously.
