This article describes the steps to configure Ed-Fi in Delaware for the 2024-2025 school year.
Configuring Ed-Fi for the 2024-2025 School Year
This section describes the process necessary for configuring Campus to report Ed-Fi data for the next school year.
Step 1. Update to the most recent version of Campus
To have the schema and logic in place, you must update to the most recent version of Campus. Failure to do this will result in an inability to properly report data for the 2024-2025 school year.
Step 2. Create a New Ed-Fi Configuration for 2024-2025
The image below shows the proper field entries for the Connection Configuration.
Click the New button. The Connection Detail editor displays.
Select the Connection Type of State.
Enter a Connection Name of 24-25 EdFi Configuration or something similar.
Select the School Year of 2024-25. This requires the 2024-25 School Year to be created.
Enter the following values:

Timeout in Seconds
This field defaults to 60 seconds and determines (in seconds) the time allowed to pass before the connection between Campus and Ed-Fi is considered timed out and Ed-Fi events are not processed. These Ed-Fi events are then re-processed the next time a Quartz job runs.
Connection Credentials
Add Multiple Credentials
Turn on this feature if multiple districts use the same instance of Infinite Campus to create multiple connections to the state ODS within the same school year. Users should enter a Credential Name, Client Key, and Client Secret for each credential. For data to be reported correctly, sites with multiple districts must populate the District Number field.
The District Number should be the Ed-Fi District Number for the school(s) selected. In Delaware, this can be anywhere from 1 to 4 characters long. Users must also select the School(s) that will use each credential.
Client Key
The Client Key is provided by the Delaware Department of Education (DDOE).
Client Secret
The Client Secret is provided by the Delaware Department of Education (DDOE).
Test Connection
Click the Test Connection button to ensure configuration values are correct and a connection to Ed-Fi has been made. This test should be done before selecting the Save option and creating the new connection. Auto mapping will NOT work if the initial connection is not properly configured.
Click the Save button.
Click the Test Connection button to ensure the configuration values are correct and that a connection to Ed-Fi was made. A "Connection is Valid" message displays when the connection is successful.
Step 3. Review the Ed-Fi Setup Checklist to Ensure Items are Complete
Review and/or update data based on the list below to ensure data is set up properly throughout Campus.
System Administration > Preferences > System Preferences > Enable Ed-Fi
Yes = Ed-Fi functionality is enabled, and Ed-Fi data will sync from Campus to the Ed-Fi system (if properly enabled via Ed-Fi Configuration tools).
Tools Only = You can fill out Ed-Fi fields (such as Ed-Fi ID) within Campus, but this data will not sync to the Ed-Fi system until this field is set to Yes. This is especially useful when setting up Ed-Fi IDs for students within a school or district so that data properly syncs between Campus and Ed-Fi before enabling it.
No = Ed-Fi functionality is not enabled for the district, and users cannot access Ed-Fi tools within Campus.
Infinite Campus auto-maps most codes for the user. However, auto-mapping does not occur when the dictionary is unlocked (the user can create custom codes) or when the mapping depends on dates/terms (like the Sessions resource). Auto mapping only occurs if the user creates a successful connection (see Step 2). If the initial connection creation was not configured correctly, it will not properly auto-map.
School & District Settings > School > School Information > School Detail > State School Number
This is typically your District Ed-Fi Number + State School Number, where the State School Number is 0-padded up to 4 characters on the left. Please confirm that this is correct for your location.
Example: If your District Ed-Fi Number is 12 and your State School Number is 345, your Ed-Fi School ID is likely 120345
Step 4. Perform a Resync for the 2024-2025 Scope Year
Now that the 2024-2025 school year's Ed-Fi configuration is in place and data has been properly reviewed, the Resync tool can resync Ed-Fi data.
Verify the 2024-25 is selected in the toolbar.
Select the 2024-25 Configuration option from the Ed-Fi Configuration dropdown.
All schools, Person IDs, Course IDs, and Course Section IDs must be resynced for the next year. To do so, mark the All Schools, All People, All Courses, and All Sections checkboxes.
Mark the Select Dependencies checkbox to ensure related data is sent properly. Review the Recommended Resync Order for guidance on when to sync each resource. The options in the Ed-Fi Resource Preferences tool determine which options are available for selection here.
Mark the checkbox next to each data set that should be resynced, enter the appropriate dates, and mark the desired resource(s).
Note: On the first resync for 2024-2025, it is recommended that you turn on one resource at a time. This enhances performance for massive data resyncs and allows you to deal with specific errors one resource at a time. After the first resync, all resources can be left on.
Select the Start Resync button.
If the resync is successful, data will flow properly from Campus to Ed-Fi. The Ed-Fi Error Log shows any errors that occur.

Select the Start Resync button once data sets have been marked and you are ready to resync.
Once Resource Preferences have been selected, a valid configuration is made, Ed-Fi IDs have been assigned, and a resync has been completed, data will flow properly from Campus to Ed-Fi. Any errors that occur can be viewed in the Ed-Fi Error Log.
