The Ed-Fi Configuration tool is used to establish Ed-Fi data resources. Once Resource Preferences have been selected, the following occurs:
- A valid configuration is made.
- Ed-Fi IDs are assigned to users.
- Data flows properly from Campus to Ed-Fi.

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. Some mapping screens may be 'read only' when your state requires specific business rules. Refer to the Ed-Fi v3.6 articles for these business rules.
Choose Edit or Configure for each resource to map items like Scores or Grade Levels to an Ed-Fi Code. These items are called Descriptors.
- Configure displays when preferences have not previously been saved.
- Edit displays when preferences have already been set and saved.
Resources can be expanded by clicking the plus sign or collapsed by clicking the minus sign.

Select a link below to view how to set the Resource Preferences.
- Select the Resource Preferences button for the current school year. This name may vary depending on the Connection Name that was entered when adding the Connection, but should be similar to 23-24 AZ 3.6 Configuration. The list of available resources displays.
- Click the Edit or Configure button to modify the resource preferences.
- Click Save when finished mapping the Descriptors.
- Turn the resource preference to ON.
- Close the Resource Preferences when finished.
Any item not mapped DOES NOT REPORT to Ed-Fi.
