Object Triggering Logic

This table describes logic for triggering syncing of this object.

ActionTrigger
Post

When a grade is posted to a Grading Task that is mapped to an Ed-Fi Grade Type:

  • Standards do not report to Ed-Fi.
  • Do not report if the Course is marked as Inactive or State Excluded.
  • Do not send records if the School or Calendar Exclude check box is checked.
  • Check to see if the student has a Student Section Association in the Ed-FI identity Mapping table before sending.
  • If the Student Section Association exits, continue with processing the record to Ed-Fi.
  • If the Student Section Association does not exist, the record will go to the Error Log with a message stating:  Student (First Name Last Name, Ed-Fi ID) does not have a Student Section Association record for the course (Course Number Course Name).  This record must exist before Grades can be sent.
  • The Grading Task must be mapped to a Grading Period to report.
  • Report to the Grading Period that over laps the Term the grade is Posted to.  
  • The end date of the Grading Period must be on or after the Term Start Date and on or before the Term End Date based on the Term to which the grade is posted.
  • If the Grade is aligned to more than 1 Grading Period that overlaps the Term, the grade will report to all eligible Grading Periods.
Put

When a grade is updated on a Grading Task that is mapped to an Ed-Fi Grade Type.

DeleteWhen a grade is deleted from a Grading Task that is mapped to an Ed-Fi Grade Type.
DeleteWhen Grade Type Descriptor is no longer mapped and a resync is performed.


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

Business Rule

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.
DeleteIf 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.
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.
