State Person Identity Verification Report (BIE)

Classic View: Census > Reports > State Person/Identity Verification Report

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 generated 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 BIE State Enrollment Verification Report may help troubleshoot enrollment issues, as proper syncing of persons / identities is necessary for proper enrollment syncing.

This report is only applicable to district-level BIE users.

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 will also be returned.

Understanding the State Person Identity Verification Report

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 will only be made between the elements specifically marked on the report (e.g., if the Birthdate checkbox is not marked, identification of mismatched data related to birth dates will not be compared).

The report options page is broken into four areas that control the data sets returned by the report. Areas are explained in the further detail following the screenshot.
