Indiana Census

Census tracks every person entry in Infinite Campus - parents, staff, students, emergency contacts, doctors, etc. Demographic data is used throughout Campus, utilizing historic and current details of each person. Some fields in the Census module are unique to each state. Other fields in the Census module do not require unique, state-specific data. However, many of these fields are required and data entry in these fields is necessary.

Identities

Classic View: Census > People > Identities

The Identities tool acts as an historical record of the person's demographic information. While the information on the Demographics tool is displayed on the Identities record, changes should be made here.

Types of changes include:

  • Name and Legal Name
  • Gender
  • Social Security number
  • Race/Ethnicity
  • Nickname

Previous identity information is not lost when it is modified, but an end date is entered for the previous identity and a start date is entered for the new identity.

See the core Identities article for information on necessary tool rights, available Ad hoc fields, and guidance on adding and printing Identities records.
