Object Triggering Logic

This table describes logic for triggering syncing of this object.

ActionTrigger
Post

When a Career Tech Program or a Graduation Program is mapped to a Graduation Plan Descriptor in Graduation Plan Preferences.

  • The program must be flagged as active to report.
  • For a Career Tech Program the Cohort/Graduation Active Start Year field must be populated to report.
  • For a Graduation Program, the Ed-FI Graduation Plan and Cohort/Graduation Active Start Year fields must be populated to report.
  • A separate record will report for each School Year that aligns with the Cohort/Graduation Active Start Year and Cohort/Graduation Active End Year.
    • Example:  If the Cohort/Graduation Active Start Year is 2014 and the Cohort/Graduation Active End Year is 2016, a record will report for each of the following years: 2014, 2015, 2016.
  • If the Cohort/Graduation Active End Year is NULL, a separate record will report starting with the Cohort/Graduation Active Start Year and ending 4+ years from the current year.

    • Example:  If the Cohort/Graduation Active Start Year is 2014 and the current year is 2016, a record will report for each of the following years:  2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020.
  • If two programs have the same Graduation Program Type/Descriptor and School Year, the last record to be updated will be the one reported.
  • Use the Scope Year logic below to determine if the record is eligible to report.
Put
