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.
Action | Business Rule |
|---|---|
| None | When a resource is toggled to Off after data has sent, all sent data remains in the ODS but no new data will send. |
| Delete | When a resource is toggled to Off after data has sent and an action is performed that would trigger a delete, that data remains in the ODS until a resync is done. |
| Resync | When a record is in the Ed-Fi Identity Mapping table and not in the ODS, it is deleted from the Ed-Fi Identity Mapping table. |
| Resync | When a record is in the ODS and it does not have a matching record in Campus or the Ed-Fi Identity Mapping table, it is deleted from the ODS. |
| Resync | When a mapping is changed in Resource Preferences, a resync needs to be done to reflect the changes. |
