Object Triggering Logic

This table describes logic for triggering syncing of this object.

Action	Trigger
Post	A Calendars record will be created for each Calendar/Grade/Schedule Structure combination. When a new Calendar and Schedule Structure is created and saved via the Calendar Wizard. When a new Schedule Structure in an existing Calendar is created and saved. Do not send a record if the Calendars resource is toggled 'OFF' in the Calendars Resource Preferences. When a new Grade Level is added to a Calendar. Do not send a record if the Calendar is mapped to an override calendar in the Resource Preferences > Calendars > Calendar Override Mapping tool. Do not send records if the Calendar Grade Level "Exclude from State Reporting" checkbox is selected for the grade level that the student's enrollment is tied to. If one calendar is mapped to another calendar in the Calendars Override Mapping , and any grade levels are shared between the two calendars, the "mapped-to" calendar governs the "Exclude from State Reporting" status.
Put	When fields that are not part of the natural key are changed. Type - if the type is changed on the Calendar tab. When the Standard Day value is edited for a previously-existing Grade Level.
Delete	If a calendar and/or schedule structure is deleted. If a grade level is deleted from a calendar. If a previously-created Calendar's record has been sent, then it is subsequently mapped to a different calendar via the Calendar Override Mapping tool, and a resync of the Calendars resource is performed. If a previously-created Calendars record has been sent, then the grade level is subsequently marked as "Exclude from State Reporting", and the record is resynced.
Delete/Post	Delete if a 2nd Schedule Structure is added after 1st Calendar is sent.

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	No data will send if the School or Calendar is marked as Exclude.
Delete	If the Calendar is marked as exclude after the Calendar or any dependent data is sent, the calendar and all dependent data will delete upon a resync even if the resource is toggled 'OFF'.
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.
Resync	If a Calendar 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 Calendar 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
Post/Delete	Natural Key change: If a 2nd schedule structure is added after data is sent, the first Calendar record will need to be Deleted/Posted with new Calendar Code logic to be Calendar ID + Schedule Structure ID. If a calendar or schedule structure is moved via script, all data send to the ODS will remain and the Delete tool will need to be used to remove all data sent. If the School ID changes, a delete/post will occur with the cascading deletes from the School ID change triggers

Scope Year Logic
