This article explains how the Massachusetts SIF model has been set up, which objects and elements are being messaged and the Campus configuration required to successfully use SIF on MA versions of Campus.
Please read the SIF Best Practices/Data Cleanup article in order to ensure data is properly set up in Campus and thus properly reporting via SIF.

Business Requirements
The Massachusetts Department of Education has received a State Longitudinal Data Systems grant used to introduce new technology to improve the data collection process. The ESE is implementing the School Interoperability Framework (SIF) to collect data for the SIMS, EPIMS, SCS collections as well as supporting SASID assignment and Education Data Warehouse Student Claiming.
The standards, policies and procedures established from this initiative are designed to be rolled forward for future annual SIF deployments.
Click here to review the state's reporting schedule and documentation.
Version
The current active MA SIF implmentation meets v2.7 specifications.
SIF Zone Options
In order for certain SIF elements to report the proper data, you must establish SIF Zone Options. Please enter and save these preferences to ensure the correct data is being sent.
SIF Zone Options
For step-by-step instructions on setting up SIF Zone Options, expand the link below:
- Navigate to Zones > SIF Zone Options
- Select the appropriate Zone.
- If you do NOT want State Excluded district assignments to report, mark the Exclude All State Exclude District Assignments checkbox.
- If you only want primary enrollments to report, mark the Exclude All Secondary Enrollments checkbox.
Note: This checkbox only affects section and grade reporting for students/staff as well as staff assignments
- Leave the Strip Empty SIF 2.* XML Elements unchecked as logic is already built to exclude elements that do not need to report.
- If you do NOT want ‘No Show’ enrollments to report, mark the Exclude No Show Enrollments checkbox.
- If you do NOT want State Excluded enrollments to report or if you do NOT want to send student information for a calendar that has ‘Exclude’ checked, mark the Exclude All State Exclude Enrollments checkbox.
This checkbox can make SIMS/SCS processing easier when there is a need to process students in one reporting window, but not the other. You can mark these student’s enrollments as ‘State Exclude’ and for the reporting window the students should report in, uncheck the ‘Exclude All State Exclude Enrollments’ checkbox. Then, for the reporting window the students should not report in, check the ‘Exclude All State Exclude Enrollments’ checkbox. - Populate the State Reporting Date with the appropriate date
- Select Save.
NOTE:
- The ‘Exclude’ checkbox on the Calendar only ever excludes student information tied to that calendar from reporting and only if the ‘Exclude All State Excluded Enrollments’ checkbox is checked. Otherwise, the ‘Exclude’ checkbox is completely ignored in SIF processing.
- If ‘Exclude From SIF Exchange’ is checked on the calendar, then nothing will report from that calendar, regardless of what is checked in these options.
- If ‘Exclude From SIF’ is checked on a grade level, then no students in that grade level will report, regardless of what is checked in these options.
Additional Information
A SIF Exclude check box has been added to the MA HR SIS on Human Resources > Personnel > Personnel Master > Work Assignment > Work Location > SIF Exclude. This checkbox is specifically for the SIF logic to report appropriately to the State on the StaffAssignment, StaffSectionAssignment, StaffEvaluation, StaffPersonal, and EmploymentRecord Objects.
Please Note:
You must set up all HR Work Locations as you want them to send to the State with any SIF Excludes on the appropriate Work Assignment > Work Location(s), then request a Delete and Re-pull from DESE at the State. This will clear past data and resend the correct data as marked in the Work Locations.
Objects and Elements
See the sections below for details about each SIF object and element.

Object Population and Business Rules
Term ID's are generated based on the combination of schedule structure ID's, Calendar Excludes ( which includes looking at calendar.exclude & calendar.SIFexclude) and definition.termtype, which is due to the fact that MA state requires unique termID's based on section.termtype/course.termtype Example: School 1 has 4 terms. Course A should have course.termtype counted as "Quarters" and is scheduled in every term. These get assigned termID's of 1-4. Course B should have course.termtype counted as a "Full year" and is scheduled in every term. Course B cannot have the same termID's as it is a different term type. Thus, the above process is used. |
| Only schools with calendars assigned for the active SIF Zone year send this information. |
| Only the trial that is currently active sends this information. |
| Calendars marked as Exclude from SIF are not sent to the state. |

Reporting SIF Data
SIF data is reported to the State via a ZIAgent connection with Campus. Setup and configuration of the ZIAgent is done by Campus and is not controlled or accessible via the Campus user interface.
Publishing and Auditing SIF Data
Campus provides two useful tools for managing SIF data. See the table below for more information.
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
| MA SIF Publish Tool | The MA SIF Publish Tool allows users to manually initiate a resync of all SIF objects or select SIF objects for a specific school year and indicates when each SIF object has completed the resync. |
| MA SIF Sent Object Search | MA SIF Sent Object Search tool allow you to search for and audit SIF data sent to the state and filter this data based on a defined date range, SIF object, and other identifiers.

FAQ
Does Campus use a single SIF Agent or multiple agents for differing types of data?
A: Campus provides a fully functioning ZIS which allows multiple agents to be connected and can communicate will all of them.
Is Any Special Software/Hardware Required to Host the Zone Integration Server (ZIS)?
A: No. Infinite Campus provides every customer with a free embedded ZIS.
How Does the Campus Data Integration Server (DIS) compare to the standard ZIS?
A: DIS is how Campus sends XML messages for different purposes (State Edition, Food Service, National Records Exchange). SIF is a subset of DIS. Campus' ZIS is SIF certified and we were the first company to receive SIF 2.0 ZIS certification.
Can I Modify and Customize Campus SIF Agent?
A: No. The SIF Agent is hard coded and does not allow for modification or customization.
What SIF Agents is Campus able to Connect With?
A: Campus can establish a SIF connection with every SIF agent that exists. Campus just needs to know which objects should to be sent to the SIF vendor.
Is There a Way to Send Only Certain Elements of a SIF Object?
A: No. When Campus sends information for a SIF object, all elements within that object are sent. There is no way to specify which elements within an object should be sent.
If a Student's Enrollment Record is Ended, Will SIF Messages Still be Sent for this Student?
A: Yes. As long as the enrollment record is in the zone it will send a SIF message that will include the Entry Date and Exit Date.
