Ed-Fi Configuration Tool Rights
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.
Resource Preferences
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. Consult your localized Ed-Fi articles for more information.
- Select the Resource Preferences button.
Click the Edit or Configure button to modify the resource preferences. Configure displays if preferences have not previously been saved. Edit displays when preferences have already been set and saved. Resources can be expanded by clicking the "+" sign or collapsed by clicking the " - " sign.
- Select a link below to view how to set the Resource Preferences. Note that some attributes that need to be reported to Ed-Fi are hidden. If a district wishes to map and report these attributes, then the attributes need to be un-hidden from the Custom Attribute Dictionary.
- If needed, turn the resource preference to ON.
