State Person Identity Verification Report

Search Terms: State Person Identity Verification

This report allows a district to compare its local student and staff person/identity records to those existing at the state level. It should be run regularly to promote early identification of gaps, duplications and inconsistencies in person/identity data. Comparing the results of this report with the results of the State Enrollment Verification Report may help troubleshoot enrollment issues, as proper synching of persons/identities is necessary for proper enrollment synching.

State Person Identity Verification Report

This report is only applicable to users who operate at the district level of a Campus State Edition product. 

A BIE-specific report exists. See the State Person Identity Verification Report (BIE).

The State Person/Identity Verification Report layout includes the option to generate three sets of data for comparison:

  • Person/identity data existing at the district level, but not at the state level
  • Person/identity data existing at the state level, but not the district level
  • Person/identity data existing at both the district and state levels, but containing inconsistencies or mismatched information

A summary of the number of identities for each of the three data sets is returned.

Data contained in this report is also available within the Verification tool of the Data Interchange folder. 

Report Logic

The logic used to generate results for this report is the same logic used for the Resync State Data Tool (District).

The report identifies people with an enrollment record (student), district employment record (staff) or district assignment record (staff), who would sync to the state if a resync were performed.

Identification of missing/incorrect records is based on personGUID and identityGUID. Mismatched data records returned by the report depend on the checkboxes marked during report setup. Comparisons are only made between the elements specifically marked on the report (e.g., if the Birth Date checkbox is not marked, identification of mismatched data related to birth dates is not compared).

The data on this report is queried and presented in the report; it is not stored in the database.

Report Editor

The report options page is broken into four areas that control the data sets returned by the report.

Selecting Parameters

In the Select People To Include area of the report options, define the scope of the report:

  1. Verify that the Year field displayed in the Campus toolbar is the correct year to be included in the report. This report is generated for all schools of the district.
  2. Verify that the Selected School Year field reflects the proper end year for the report (i.e., if reporting on the 08-09 school year, "2009" should be displayed in field). This field is auto-populated with the end year of the school year selected in the Year field of the current user's Campus toolbar.
