Object Triggering Logic

This table describes logic for triggering syncing of this object.

Action	Trigger
Post	When a Course is Created and saved. Do not send if course is marked as Inactive or State Exclude. Do not send if course is in a Calendar marked as Exclude. Do not send if course is in a School marked as Exclude.
Put	When Course information not part of the natural key is changed and saved. Academic Subject Descriptor Course Title Number State Code Number of Parts
Delete	When a Course is deleted and there are no other courses with the same number in the same school and year.

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.

Action	Trigger
None	If a resource is toggled to 'OFF' after data has sent, all sent data will remain in the ODS but no new data will send.
Delete	If a resource is toggled to 'OFF" after data has sent and an action is performed that would trigger a delete, that data will remain in the ODS until a resync is done.
Resync	If 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.
Resync	If 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.
Resync	If 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.

Action	Trigger
Delete/Post	If any of the following changes in the Schools resource: If the Ed-Fi School Number changes. School ID: If the State School Number changes and the Ed-Fi School Number is NULL.
Delete/Post	Cascading Updates/Delete: If the course is deleted from Campus. Course Transcripts will remain until a resync is completed.
Delete	If a Course is marked Inactive after dependent data has sent, all dependent data will be deleted.
Dependent Resources	Course Offerings, Sections, Student Section Associations, Staff Section Associations, Student Section Attendance Events, Grades, Course Transcripts

Scope Year Logic

This table describes scope year logic of this object.

Logic
Courses will report to the configured year to which they are aligned.
Data will only send for years that have valid configuration.

Resource Preferences

This table describes the Resource Preferences of this object.
