Object Triggering Logic

This table describes logic for triggering syncing of this object.

Action	Trigger
Post	When transcript records are posted for a student and they have a valid Student School Association for the Scoped Year. When a resync is completed, all valid transcript records for all years will send for the Student. The School that the Student is enrolled must be selected in the Resync Tool. If the District Number on the Transcript record matches the reporting district, send the record. Ed-Fi will send an error if the Course does not already exist in the ODS and a resync will need to be done on the Course. Do not send a record if the course is marked as inactive or state exclude. If the District Number on the Transcript record does not match the reporting district look to see if the course number exists in the School: If the Course Number exists anywhere in the School for the scope year, and is not marked as inactive or exclude, report the record with the Course Reference for that course/school. If more than 1 Course exits with that Course Number in different schools in the scope year, report the course reference with the School where the student is enrolled. If the Course Number does not exists in the School for the scope year, do not report the record
Post/Delete	When any part of the Natural Key is changed
Put	When fields that are not part of the natural key are changed.
Delete	When a transcript record is deleted for a student.
Delete	All Transcript records will only delete when a student has only 1 Student School Association record for a specific Year and that record is deleted. (Note: If a new Student School Association record is created, existing records will not re-post, a resync must be completed to resend the data)

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.
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
Post/Delete	Natural Key change: If the Natural Key changes from the Course Reference or Student Academic Reference, the cascading delete/post logic from those resources will trigger updates to the Course Transcripts. Records will delete/post if the Credits Earned or Credits Attempted are changed on a student's transcript record.

Post/Delete

Natural Key change:

If the Natural Key changes from the Course Reference or Student Academic Reference, the cascading delete/post logic from those resources will trigger updates to the Course Transcripts.
Records will delete/post if the Credits Earned or Credits Attempted are changed on a student's transcript record.

Scope Year Logic

This table describes scope year logic of this object.

Logic
Transcript records will send to each scope year where the student has a Student School Association, regardless of the Transcript School Year. Data will only send for years that have valid configuration. A resync must be completed at the beginning of each year so that all years transcript records will be loaded in the ODS.
