| 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. |
