​
Prerequisites

  • Clever district administrator access

​
Approve and share Type the Word

1

Open the application workflow

In the Clever Dashboard, go to “Applications” → “Add Applications”. Search for Type the Word, then select “Request App”. Review the requested Secure Sync data before you send the request.
2

Choose what to share

Select “Begin setup”. Choose “Share specific sections, teachers, students, and/or staff” and add two rules:
  1. “Custom Share by Admin” (and “Custom Share by Staff” if you need School Tech Leads) for the people who should see billing. Share as many “Clever Admin” or “School Tech Lead” accounts as you want.
  2. “Custom Share by Section” for only the sections that will use Type the Word.
Type the Word bills per student, so extra admins do not add cost. Only share the sections that will use Type the Word, because billing follows the number of students in those sections.
3

Assign the application

On “Finalize Setup”, check the “Launch Date”, then select “Finish”. Shared teachers and students will see the Type the Word tile in the Clever Portal once the app is enabled. You can add Type the Word to a Portal category so it is not under “More Apps”.

​
Wait for Type the Word to be enabled

Assigning the application is a request for access. Josh will enable your district, then run the first roster synchronization. When that finishes, verify the roster below. If you have not gotten a confirmation email or a response within 24 hours, email Josh at josh@typetheword.com.

​
Verify the roster

  1. Launch Type the Word with an administrator account. Open the Type the Word tile in the Clever Portal, or copy the “Instant Login Link” from “Settings” on Type the Word in “My Applications”.
  2. Confirm the expected schools and classrooms appear.
  3. Open a classroom and compare its teachers and students with Clever.

​
Setup complete

Administrator setup is complete when the expected schools, classes, teachers, and students are present in Type the Word. Continue with teacher setup.

​
Troubleshooting

  • No schools or sections appear: Review the sharing scope in Clever.
  • A user is missing: Teachers and students must belong to a section in your “Custom Share by Section” rule. Admins and School Tech Leads must be included in “Custom Share by Admin” or “Custom Share by Staff”.
  • Old roster data remains: Type the Word syncs your roster nightly. To update it now, follow Manually sync your roster.
  • The Clever tile is unavailable: Confirm the application is assigned to the affected users.
