System Administrators can use the Custom Data and Links tools to add custom options for their districts such as fields, codes, help articles, and SSRS (SQL Server Reporting Services) Reports.
See the Custom Data and Links articles to learn how to use these tools.
Core Attribute/Dictionary
The Core Attribute Dictionary displays all the current core fields and code values. Some fields may be locked down, for example when the values are determined by the state. Others may include an Add button so that codes and values can be added.

Dynamic report options pages operate by communicating with the report server, getting the options that should be shown to a user and displaying them. See the SSRS Dynamic Report Options Guide and the Report Service (SSRS) article for more information. Users need access to SSRS Report Configuration and SSRS Server Configuration to complete this setup.
Report Service Functionality is only available for certain Campus customers.
SSRS Report Configuration
SSRS Reports Configuration pulls reports in that have been setup on the SSRS server. Once a report has been built, deployed to the SSRS server, then configured in Report configuration, it will appear in the outline.
