Scope Year Logic

This table describes scope year logic of this object.

Logic

A record will report when a person has a District Assignment or District Employment record that is aligned to a scoped year.

  • Report when a staff has an active District Assignment or District Employment record that overlaps with the School year Start and End Dates.
    • If School Year Start Date is NULL, 7/1/xxxx will be the default start date used.
    • If School Year End Date is NULL, 6/30/xxxx will be the default end date used.
  • Data will only send for the years that have valid configuration.

When using data in Campus that has an effective date, the following logic will be applied to determine the scope year(s) to report the data to.

  • Current Year: Records will be compared to today's date to determine if the record is eligible to report.
  • Previous Years: The record's date must be on or before the schools year's end date defined in the School Years editor. If blank, the default date of 6/30/xxxx is used.
  • Future Years:  The record's date must be on or after the schools year's start date defined in the School Years editor. If blank, the default date of 7/01/xxxx is used.

When using data in Campus that have start and end dates, the following logic will be applied to determine the scope year(s) to report the data to.

  • Current Year: The records start date must be on or before today's date and the records end date must be on or after today's date.
  • Previous Years: The record's start date must be on or before the school year's end date and the record's end date must be after the school year's end date defined in the School Years editor. If blank, the default date of 6/30/xxxx is used.
  • Future Years: The record's start date must be on or before the schools year's start date and the record's end date must be on or after the school year's start date defined in the School Years editor. If blank, the default date of 7/01/xxxx is use.
