Object Triggering Logic

This table describes logic for triggering syncing of this object.

Action	Trigger
Post	Report a StudentAcademicRecord instance for each school year in which the student has a transcript record and they have a Student School Association record for the scoped year. When Term Type cannot be determined on a Transcript record, provide an error with the following message, "Could not identify valid term type for transcript record". We will post to update the Cumulative Earned Credits and Cumulative Attempted Credits fields when the Attempted and Earned Credit fields are updated or a new transcript record is added added/deleted with an Attempted/Earned Credit Value that is not null and is greater than 0. Do not send a record if the transcript's score is null. If the 'Current year records only?' checkbox is marked in the Student Academic Records Resource Preferences tool, then only report records for the current year. If Grade Levels to Send have been selected in the Student Academic Records Resource Preferences tool, then only report records for the selected grade levels. If no grade levels are selected, all grade levels will send.
Post/Put	When a student is given a Diploma Date and Diploma Type. Only post for the records in the Scope Year the Diploma Date is associated. If the student already has SAR records from posted Transcript records, update existing records with the Diploma information. If all of the student's transcript records are deleted, a new SAR will post from the Diploma Record. If the student does not have any SAR records from posted Transcript records, create 1 record with the Term Descriptor that is aligned to the Term that the Diploma Date occurs in. If the Diploma date and/or Diploma Type fields are made NULL, the SAR record will delete.
Delete	If records are posted from course transcript records and no Diploma information exits, all Student Academic Records will only delete when a student has only 1 Student School Association record for a specific Year and all Student School Association records are deleted.
Delete/Post	If the natural key is changed. If a term descriptor mapping changed either in the Sessions Preferences or the Ed-Fi Transcript Term Override. If the Actual Term is changed on a Course Transcript Record and the Ed-Fi Transcript Term Override field is NULL. If the Ed-Fi Transcript Term Descriptor Override mapping is changed .

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 part of the Natural Key Changes If the District Number changes all data will remain under the old number. The delete tool would need to be used to remove all old data.
Delete/Post	If an Ed-Fi ID changes, this will happen with the cascading deletes from the Ed-Fi ID Change trigger.
Delete/Post	If the End Year the transcript record or diploma record is aligned to changes.
Delete/Post	If the Term Descriptor is changed.
Delete/Post	If the natural key changes all dependent resources will delete/post.
Dependent Resources	Course Transcripts

Scope Year Logic

This table describes scope year logic of this object.

Logic
Records will send to each scope year in which the Course Transcript record is posted
Records will only post to the SAR records for the year the diploma date occurs in but SAR records will post to all scoped years. The Diploma Date must be on or after the school year's start date and on or before the school year's end date defined in the School Years editor. If blank, the default start date of 7/1/xxxx and end date of 6/30/xxxx are used.
Data will only send for years that have a valid configuration.

When the SAR is posted only from the Graduation Record because there are no Course Transcripts records for the student, report the Ed-Fi Term Descriptor from the Sessions Resource Preferences that the Diploma Date falls in. If the Diploma Date is outside of any of the Term Dates for that School Year, report the Ed-Fi Term Descriptor from the Term with the latest End Date.
