Object Triggering Logic

This table describes logic for triggering syncing of this object.

ActionTrigger
Post

A Calendars record is created for each Calendar/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.

Post/Delete Put

A Post/Delete will occur when the natural key is changed. A Put will occur otherwise.

When the following fields on Calendar are changed:

  • Calendar ID (New Calendar)
  • Schedule Structure ID (New Schedule Structure)
  • Type
DeleteIf a calendar and/or schedule structure is deleted.
Delete/PostDelete 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.

ActionTrigger
NoneNo data will send if the School or Calendar is marked as Exclude.
DeleteIf 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'.
NoneIf a resource is toggled to 'OFF' after data has sent, all sent data will remain in the ODS but no new data will send.
ResyncIf 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.
ResyncIf 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.
ResyncIf 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.

ActionTrigger
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

This table describes scope year logic of this object.

Logic

Calendars only send for the school year to which they are aligned.

  • Data only sends for years with valid configuration.
  • A resync must be completed on the resource when a new scope year is connected in order for this data to send.
