Object Triggering Logic

This table describes logic for triggering syncing of this object.

ActionTrigger
Post

When transcript records are posted for a student for course with a state code and in grades 9-12.

OR

When a grade is posted to a grading task that is marked as State Reported and the student is in grades K-8.

  • Only report transcript records where the record's school number is equal to the school number where the student is enrolled. Only reports records for the school year the enrollment is aligned to.
  • Do not report if posted from a course in an excluded calendar.  If transcript is manually entered, only report if student has an enrollment in a calendar not marked as excluded.
  • Do not report if the Course is marked as inactive or State Excluded.
Post/DeleteWhen a grade is changed on a state reported grading task or part of the Natural Key is changed.
Put

When fields that are not part of the natural key are changed.

DeleteWhen a transcript record is deleted for a student.
DeleteWhen a state reported grade is deleted for a student.
Delete

Transcript records will delete when a student has only 1 Student School Association record for a specific School and Year and that record is deleted.

(Note:  If a new Student School Association record is created, existing records will not re-post, a resync must be completed to resend the data)

Delete

When the Enrollment State Exclude checkbox is checked.

(Note: If the box is unchecked the data will not post, a resync must be completed to resend the data)

Delete

When the District Number on the course transcript is changed and it no longer matches the reporting districts number.


School Exclude, Calendar Exclude, Resource Toggle and Resync Logic

This table describes the School Exclude, Calendar Exclude, Resource Toggle and Resync logic of this object.

ActionTrigger
NoneIf a resource is toggled to 'OFF' after data has sent, all sent data will remain in the ODS but no new data will send.
ResyncIf a record is in the Ed-Fi Identity Mapping table and not in the ODS, it will be deleted from the Ed-Fi Identity Mapping table.
ResyncIf a record is in the ODS and it does not have a matching record in Campus or the Ed-Fi Identity Mapping table, it will be deleted from the ODS.
ResyncIf a mapping is changed in Resource Preferences, a resync will need to be done to reflect the changes.


Natural Key Changes, Cascading Updates, and Deletes Logic

This table describes the Natural Key Changes/Cascading Updates and Deletes logic of this object.

ActionTrigger
Post/Delete

Natural Key change:

  • If the Natural Key changes from the Course Reference or Student Academic Reference, the cascading delete/post logic from those resources will trigger updates to the Course Transcripts.

  • Records will delete/post if the Credits Earned or Credits Attempted are changed on a student's transcript record.


Scope Year Logic

This table describes scope year logic of this object.

Logic

Transcript records will send to each scope year where the student has a Student School Association, regardless of the Transcript School Year.

  • Data will only send for years that have valid configuration.
  • A resync must be completed at the beginning of each year so that all years transcript records will be loaded in the ODS.

courseAttempt

ResultDescriptor  

The result from the student's attempt to take the course, for example:  Pass/Fail/ Incomplete/Withdrawn/Expelled  - To be used by K-8 grades that do not fullfill subject matter courses.
 

When reporting from State Reported Grading Task or Standard use the Score Group or Rubric used for the posted grade to determine the Result Type:

  1.  Report 'Pass' when the posted score has the Passing check box checked on the score group where the grade was posted from.
  2. Report 'Fail' when the posted grade does not have the Passing check box checked on the score group where the grade was posted from.

When reporting from Transcript Records use the Credits Earned vs. Credit Attempted to determine the Result Type:

  1. Report 'Pass' when the sum of credits Earned is >= the sum of credits Attempted.
  2. Report 'Fail' when the sum of credits Earned is blank or = 0.
  3. Report 'Incomplete' when the sum of credits Earned is not blank or = 0 and < than the sum of credits Attempted.

**We do not report Incomplete or Withdrawn from Grading Tasks or Standards and will not report "Withdrawn from transcript records".  These values will not report.

 whenTakengrade

LevelDescriptor 

 Student's grade level at time of course. 
  1. When transcript records are posted for a student for course with a state code and in grades 9-12, use core logic:

    1. If the grade selected on the transcript record matches a valid Ed-Fi code, report the grade.
      1. When no matching grade found with a grade level mapping, do not report this property.
  2. When a grade is posted to a grading task that is marked as State Reported and the student is in grades K-8, use AZ-localized logic:

    1. Report the mapped Grade Level from the Grade that the student was in when they completed the course.  Report from the enrollment record with same School Year as the transcript record.

    2. If there are multiple enrollments that match, report a single grade based on the following Local Service Type Hierarchy:
      1. P: Primary
      2. T: AOI
      3. A: Ancillary
      4. O: Program Only
    3. If student has multiple enrollments that meet the above criteria, report from most recent start date.
      1. If start dates are the same, report from highest enrollment ID.
    4. If the student does not have a corresponding enrollment record, report blank.
