Tool Search: Ed-Fi Configuration
Resource Preferences determine which information is sent to Ed-Fi. These options apply to all schools within the district. If the state did not request a resource, it does not appear in this list, meaning different options may be available for different states. Some mapping screens may be 'read only' if specific business rules are required by your state.
Once Resource Preferences have been selected, a valid configuration is made and Ed-Fi ID's are assigned to users, data will flow properly from Campus to Ed-Fi.
For more information about Ed-Fi Configuration Tool Rights and how they function, see this Ed-Fi Tool Rights article.
Prerequisites
- Ed-Fi functionality must be enabled via the Enable Ed-Fi System Preference.
- Ed-Fi should be properly configured via the Ed-Fi Configuration tool.
Import Mappings for Resource Preferences
Mappings for resources can be imported from a previous configuration. Importing mappings overwrites any existing Resource Preference mappings entered in the current configuration for the selected resources.
Note: For mappings of the following resources, the general rule to roll forward these mappings is that the 'rolled forward' data must be 1:1 with the previous year:
- Calendars
- Class Periods
- Grades
- Grading Periods
- Graduation Plans
- Sessions
- Student Assessments
To import mappings for Resource Preferences:
- Navigate to the Resource Preferences for the configuration in which the mappings will be imported.
- Click the Import Mappings button.
- Select the Source Configuration from which mappings will be imported.
- Select the Resources to import mappings from.
- Click Import. This action overwrites any existing Resource Preferences mappings entered in the current configuration for the selected resources.
- The imported mappings can be viewed by selecting the Edit or Config button next to the resource.
