Data Certification tools snapshot data at the district level and send them to the state, where the state can define parameters for verifying the data's accuracy and completeness.
| Tool/Article | Description |
|---|---|
| Validation Rules | Validation Rules are used to create and manage rules used within Validation Groups and report data within the Data Validation Report. Validation Rules are reusable queries used for filtering and reporting specific data. |
| Validation Groups | The Validation Groups tool allows users to build groups of rules that are used to audit and report data within the Data Validation Report. |
| Certification Category | This tool creates certification categories, defines which users are allowed to review and/or certify data certification events of a specific category, and publishes data certification categories to districts. |
| Type Setup | This tool is used to create and publish data certification types to districts. Data certification types indicate what type(s) of information is being certified in the data certification event (i.e., Special Ed, LEP, etc) and which state and district users are allowed to view and certify an event. |
| Type Membership Setup | This tool defines which users can view and/or certify data certification events of a specific event type. As data certification events are created and published to districts, state users will receive notification of published events and can certify events tied to their type membership(s). |
| Event Setup | This tool allows state users to create data certification events which can be published to districts and certified by specific state and district users. |
| Event Admin Membership Setup | This tool defines which users are considered "Event Admins" who are responsible to reviewing state and district certified events before the event is considered complete and closed. |
