Section Rosters Import
Logic and Validations
The following describes the logic and validations used in the Section Rosters Import:
- The user importing data must have proper calendar and tool rights for the file's district.
- The school in the file must match a school within the State Edition. The school must also be tied to the defined district.
- A calendar must exist in the State Edition for the school, district and year values in the file.
- The student must be enrolled in the calendar for the given school/year combination.
- The course/section in the file must match a course/section existing within the State Edition.
- The student's stateID must match their stateID within the State Edition.
- The Start and End Date values must fall within the calendar of the student's enrollment record.
- If the Start and End Date values in the file match an existing record for the student, the record is updated in the State Edition with no changes.
- If the file matches only the Start Date or End Date of a student's existing record, the existing record is updated with the date changes defined in the file.
- If the Start Date and End Date values in the file do not match a student's existing roster record:
- An error is produced if the existing record overlaps the dates entered on the file.
- A new roster record is created if the dates within the file do not overlap a student's existing roster record.
