Object Triggering Logic

This table describes logic for triggering syncing of this object.

ActionTrigger
Post

When a new Grading Period is created and saved in Resource Preferences and a resync is completed.

  • Do not send if the School is marked as Exclude.
Put

When the Grading Period Start or End Date is updated and saved and a resync is completed.

DeleteWhen a grade is deleted from a Grading Task that is mapped to an Ed-Fi Grade Type.
DeleteWhen the Grading Period is removed from Resource Preferences.


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

NoneIf a resource is toggled to 'OFF' after data has sent, all sent data will remain in the ODS but no new data will send.
DeleteIf a resource is toggled to 'OFF" after data has sent and an action is performed that would trigger a delete, that data will remain in the ODS until a resync is done.
ResyncIf a record is in the Ed-Fi Identity Mapping table and not in the ODS, it will be deleted from the Ed-Fi Identity Mapping table.
ResyncIf a record is in the ODS and it does not have a matching record in Campus or the Ed-Fi Identity Mapping table, it will be deleted from the ODS.
ResyncIf a mapping is changed in Resource Preferences, a resync will need to be done to reflect the changes.
ResyncWhen doing a resync, look to make sure the Grading Task is still mapped in the Grades Resource Preferences prior to sending. 


Natural Key Changes, Cascading Updates, and Deletes Logic

This table describes the Natural Key Changes/Cascading Updates and Deletes logic of this object.

ActionTrigger
Delete/Post

If the Natural Key changes: If the School Number/Ed-Fi School Number changes, a delete/post will occur with the cascading deletes from the School ID Change triggers.

Delete/PostIf the Grading Period Descriptor or Sequence changes and a resync is completed.
Delete/PostIf the natural key changes or the record is deleted, the Sessions Grading Periods reference will be updated.
Delete/PostIf the natural key of Grading Periods changes, all existing dependent data will be deleted or moved to the correct Grading Period. If a grade has not been posted yet and a Grading Period changes, a resync on the Grades resource will need to be completed.

Grading Period Descriptor
edfigradingperiod.name
periodSequenceThe sequence of the grading period.
  1. Report the period sequence for the Grading Period being reported.
  2. The sequence will be auto-generated based on an assigned value.  This value can be overwritten if necessary.
    • The sequence can be changed in the individual record as long it is unique to the Grading Period Descriptor and School combination.  
    • Two Grading Periods in the same school can have the same sequence as long as the Grading Period Descriptor is not the same.
    • Two Grading Periods in the same school can have the same Grading Period Descriptor as long as the Sequence is not the same.
    • Two Grading Periods with the same Grading Period Descriptor can have the same sequence as long as they are assigned to different schools.
  3. The sequence is determined based on the name of the 'number' in the Grading Period Descriptor up to 6.  Example 'First Semester' will have a sequence of 1, 'First Nine Weeks' will have a sequence of 1. If the Grading Period Descriptor number is over 6 or cannot be determined, a default value of 1 will report.
