The Ed-Fi Configuration tool is used to establish Ed-Fi data resources. Once Resource Preferences have been selected, the following occurs:

Resource Preferences
Resource Preferences determine which information is sent to Ed-Fi. These options apply to all schools within the district.
For each resource, choose Edit or Configure to map items like Scores or Grade Levels to an Ed-Fi Code. These items are called Descriptors.
- Configure displays when preferences have not been saved previously.
- 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.
Resource Preferences can be imported or set manually. The information below details how to manually set the Resource Preferences for Kansas. For information on importing mappings, please see the Import Mappings section of the Core Ed-Fi Resource Preferences article.
