To start the Schoolyear application, students will launch the locally installed application from the onboarding page of Schoolyear. Students will see the pop-up below and need to click "open".
For managed PCs where Schoolyear is already installed, you can apply a registry change that allows you to skip this step. Schoolyear will then open automatically instead of the student receiving this pop-up and having to click open.
Instructions to skip the pop-up
To skip the pop-up, you need to make a registry change regarding the "AutoLaunchProtocolsFromOrigins" of the browser used. Below are two examples for Edge and Chrome, in which the Protocol and allowed origins are filled in.
Production environment
| Browser: | Policy |
| Google Chrome | [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Google\Chrome]
"AutoLaunchProtocolsFromOrigins"="[{\"protocol\":\"schoolyear-exams\",\"allowed_origins\":[\"https://exams.schoolyear.app\"]}]" |
| Microsoft Edge | [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Edge]
"AutoLaunchProtocolsFromOrigins"="[{\"protocol\":\"schoolyear-exams\",\"allowed_origins\":[\"https://exams.schoolyear.app\"]}]" |
Beta environment
| Browser: | Policy |
| Google Chrome | [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Google\Chrome]
