Enrollment Overlap Behavior

This preference determines how multiple enrollments in the same school year are handled within Campus. These settings are enforced when managing enrollments from anywhere within Campus (Student Enrollment tab, Census Enrollment tab, Student Locator, etc.).

 

  • Centralized Enrollment: Auto-End Overlapping Primary Enrollments. This option automatically enters an End Date for the old primary enrollment when a new overlapping enrollment is created. This date is the date before the Start Date of the new enrollment record. When a new non-primary enrollment has the same date as another primary enrollment, both enrollments remain active. If the start dates are the same, a message displays indicating the primary enrollment cannot overlap with another primary enrollment. The existing enrollment ends with the entered start date and is set to No Show.
  • Decentralized Enrollment: Allow Overlapping Primary Enrollment. Allows primary enrollments to overlap. Red exclamation points will display next to the overlapping enrollments on the Enrollments tab.
  • Overlap Warning: Auto-end overlapping primary enrollment. Warn the user. Warns the user when a new primary enrollment overlaps with another primary enrollment. The user may click OK and continue creating the enrollment. The new enrollment's start date is compared to any existing enrollment's start date. If the start dates are the same, a message displays indicating the primary enrollment cannot overlap with another primary enrollment. The existing enrollment ends with the entered start date and is set to No Show.
  • Strict Prevent and Warn Primary: Prevent overlapping of primary enrollments in any calendar. Warn the User. Allow secondary enrollment overlaps. This option prevents the overlapping of primary enrollment records in any calendar. A warning appears when the user attempts to create a new primary enrollment which overlaps another primary enrollment. The enrollment will not be saved and selecting OK on the warning message will result in an error displaying. This option DOES NOT allow partial enrollments to exist without there already being a primary enrollment. This prevents the ability to have two enrollments in the same calendar, even if the enrollments are in separate schedule structures and even if the enrollments are varying service types (primary, secondary, etc.). This option DOES NOT prevent the creation of a new Primary enrollment that overlaps a No Show enrollment.
  • Strict Prevent and Warn Non-Primary: Prevent overlapping primary enrollments in any calendar, allow Non-Primary Enrollments with no primary enrollment. This option prevents primary enrollments from overlapping in any calendar, but non-primary enrollments can overlap if there are no primary enrollments. This prevents the ability to have two enrollments in the same calendar, even if the enrollments are in separate schedule structures and even if the enrollments are varying service types (primary, secondary, etc.). This option DOES NOT prevent the creation of a new Primary enrollment that overlaps a No Show enrollment. 

Maine Users ONLY: The Enrollment Overlap Behavior preference will not affect non-Primary enrollments. 

  • This applies to both State and District Editions of Campus 
  • Enrollments where Service Type = N: Special Ed Services may also overlap regardless of System Preferences.

Record Transfer Enrollment Type(s)

This preference allows you to determine which district to send a Records Transfer request to based on the enrollment type of the student’s most recent enrollment record(s).

For example, if this field is set to ‘Primary (P) OR Special Ed (N)’ and the student has a Primary enrollment in District A and a more recent Special Ed enrollment record in District B, District B would be sent the enrollment record request.

Options include:

  • Primary (P) Only - This is the default setting

  • Primary (P) OR Partial (S)

  • Primary (P) OR Special Ed (N)

  • Primary (P) OR Special Ed (N) OR Partial (S)

Search Limit

The Search Limit system preference allows districts to limit the number of results returned by a search to improve search and system performance.

Click here to expand...

The Search Limit preference has several levels of search limits: 100, 500, 1000, 3000, 5000 and No Limit. Once saved, the limit will be applied to the search results displayed on the Search tab.

 

This limit does not affect generated batch reports. For example, if the limit for searching for students is set to 100 and an Ad hoc filter contains 150 students, all 150 students will be included in the batch report.

 

In the interest of search response time and system performance, Infinite Campus does not recommend setting the "No Limit" option.

Student State ID Method

The Student State ID Method system preference determines how Student State IDs are generated for new students within Campus.

Click here to expand...

State Edition users are able view the Student State ID Method (and Student State ID Window) value enabled at the state. 

 

This preference is called Other ID Method for BIE NASIS customers.

The following table describes each field value:

ValueDescription
District ControlledIndicates Student State IDs are not automatically generated for new students within state-linked District Editions or at the state level. Users will need to manually enter Student State ID data on the Demographics tab. Student State IDs entered at the district are synced up the state.
2 digit year + 7 digit randomIndicates new students are auto-generated with a Student State ID where the first two digits represent the current year followed by 7 random digits (i.e., 123334445, where 12 = current year and 3334445 = seven random digits).
9 digit random, no leading zeroesIndicates new students are auto-generated with a Student State ID made up entirely of 9 random digits and no leading zeroes. 
10 digit random, no leading zeroesIndicates new students are auto-generated with a Student State ID made up entirely of 10 random digits and no leading zeroes. 
9 digit windowing sequential with leading zeroes

Indicates new students are auto-generated a Student State ID made up of 9 digits where the 9 digit number is generated in sequential order (with leading zeroes) within the range designated by the Min and Max State Student ID Window values.
   
For example:

  • If Student State ID Window has a Min = 100 and a Max = 1000000000.
  • The first generated number would be 000000100 where 000000 = leading zeroes and 100 = Min number.
  • The second generated number would be 0000000101 where 000000 = leading zeroes and 101 = the next sequential number within the Min and Max window.
  • This would continue in sequential order for each Student State ID generated.
10 digit windowing sequential with leading zeroes

Indicates new students are auto-generated a Student State ID made up of 10 digits where the 10 digit number is generated in sequential order (with leading zeroes) within the range designated by the Min and Max State Student ID Window values.

For example: 

  • If Student State ID Window has a Min = 100 and a Max = 10000000000.
  • The first generated number would be 0000000100 where 0000000 = leading zeroes and 100 = Min number.
  • The second generated number would be 00000000101 where 0000000 = leading zeroes and 101 = the next sequential number within the Min and Max window.
  • This would continue in sequential order for each Student State ID generated.

Click here to expand...

Preference Logic

Any state or district will see no change in preferences unless a modification is made manually.  All state-linked districts will have the option to change these preferences independent of State Edition settings. 

 

For Maine users, preferences will be set by the state and will be read-only for both State Edition and District Edition users.  State-linked districts cannot choose the values for these preferences independent of those set by the State Edition.  The following selections will be made:

  • Race/Ethnicity Required for - Staff and Students
  • Require Race - Always
  • Require Race/Ethnicity Determination - Never

Staff Behavior

When any of the race/ethnicity fields are required for Staff, the following will be enforced:

  • When the Demographics page for an existing staff member is loaded, the appropriate race/ethnicity fields will be marked as required (red text and asterisk). The page cannot be saved until the required fields are populated.
    • If the user deleted the Staff IDs after loading the page for an existing staff member, the race/ethnicity fields are still required.  The page will need to be saved without the Staff ID and WITH the race/ethnicity and then re-loaded to remove the race/ethnicity if desired.
  • When the Demographics page is loaded for a person who does NOT have either of the Staff IDs, the appropriate race/ethnicity fields will not be marked as required.  However, if a Local or State Staff ID is entered, the page cannot be saved until the appropriate race/ethnicity fields are completed.
  • The Staff Locator will require completion of the appropriate fields.
  • The Add Person tool will not allow a Save operation if a Local or State Staff ID is entered.  

Student Behavior

When any of the race/ethnicity fields are required for Students, the following will be enforced:

  • When the Demographics page for an existing student is loaded, the appropriate race/ethnicity fields will be marked as required (red text and asterisk). The page cannot be saved until the required fields are populated.
    • If the user deleted the Student IDs after loading the page for an existing student, the race/ethnicity fields are still required.  The page will need to be saved without the Student ID and WITH the race/ethnicity and then re-loaded to remove the race/ethnicity if desired.
  • When the Demographics page is loaded for a person who does NOT have either of the Student IDs, the appropriate race/ethnicity fields will not be marked as required.  However, if a Local or State Student ID is entered and the person does not have a Staff ID, the page cannot be saved until the appropriate race/ethnicity fields are completed.
  • The Student Locator will require completion of the appropriate fields.
  • The Add Person page will not allow a Save operation if a Local or State Staff ID is entered. 

All People Behavior

When any of the Race/Ethnicity fields are required for All People, it will be enforced in the Student Locator, Staff Locator, Add Person and Demographics tools.

Enable Attendance Auditing

The Enable Attendance Auditing system preference indicates whether the district is auditing student attendance records. Setting this preference to Yes requires a significant amount of data storage.

The following reports are available for auditing attendance records.

These reports are available to users (as long as tool rights are assigned) even when this preference is not set to Yes. If this preference is not turned on, data will not be included in the report.

Attendance auditing provides a complete history of attendance changes for compliance with electronic signature requirements and other state reporting obligations. 

 
  • Texas Districts: This is a read only option and cannot be modified.
  • Kentucky Districts: This preference and the attendance tracking reports are not available.

This preference can be turned on and off at any time. Data will only be stored for the time when it is turned on (set to Yes). Reports can still be generated when it is turned off, but only the data stored during the time it is turned on will be returned on the reports.

Accept State Excluded Grade Levels and Enrollments

The Accept State Excluded Grade Levels and Enrollments state system preference indicates whether or not items marked for state-exclusion at the district level will be accepted at the state level.

The state-level System Preferences tool allows districts to configure settings for general use of Infinite Campus. These preferences should only be modified by a system administrator, as modifications will affect system operations.

Click here to expand...

Setting the Preference

The Accept State Excluded Grade Levels and Enrollments state system preference will default to a value of "No."

  • Yes - The state edition will accept calendars, grade levels and enrollments that are marked for state-exclusion by districts. These items will appear in the user interface and will be saved within the state database.
  • No - The state edition will not accept grade levels or enrollments that are marked for state-exclusion by districts. These items will NOT appear in the user interface and will NOT be saved within the state database.

Grade Level State Exclude

Grade levels can be designated for state exclusion at the district level, on the Grade Levels tab, by marking the Exclude from State Reporting checkbox.


If the Accept State Excluded Grade Levels and Enrollments state system preference is set to a value of No, the grade level marked as "Exclude from State Reporting" (as shown above) will NOT be accepted by the state level. Additionally, all student enrollment records for that grade level will also be excluded from the state level. These items will not display in the user interface nor will they be saved in the state database.


If the Accept State Excluded Grade Levels and Enrollments state system preference is set to a value of Yes, the grade level marked as "Exclude from State Reporting" (as shown above) WILL be accepted at the state level. Additionally, all student enrollment records for that grade level will also appear at the state level.

Flag Health Conditions Set to Yes

When the Flag Health Conditions is set to Yes, a flagged condition marked on the Condition List that is assigned to a student will display an EMT symbol next to the student's name. This allows other staff who have that student in a class or are part of the student's learner plan team can see this condition and be aware of certain situations that may be difficult for that student. 

Flag Health Condition Set to No

When the Flag Health Condition is set to No, the EMT symbol will not display next to the student's name, even if a condition is flagged in the Condition List or if the condition is marked as flagged when assigning that condition to a student.

Require Employment Record for District Assignment

The Require Employment Record for District Assignment preference requires staff members to have a District Employment record before having a District Assignment record. State edition customers and state-linked districts will not have the option to modify this preference. The preference will be determined by the state Department of Education and updated by Infinite Campus. The setting will be view/read-only in those situations.

 

This preference is enabled for users in Maine.

A corresponding District Employment Record is defined as such:

  • The start and end dates for the District Assignment must match or fall within the dates of a single District Employment Record.
  • A District Assignment record cannot end after the latest District Employment End Date.
  • A District Assignment record cannot start before the earliest District Employment Start Date.

A validation will occur when a District Assignment Record is created without the existence of a District Employment Record.

 

This preference does not apply to customers using the Human Resources module. The Human Resources module always requires staff to have a District Employment record before having a District Assignment record. (District Assignments are called Work Assignments in the Human Resources module)

Click here to expand...

Employment Record Set to Yes

A District Assignment record cannot be created unless there is a corresponding District Employment record.

A District Assignment record cannot be edited/saved unless there is a corresponding District Employment record.


When ending a District Employment record, all District Assignment records in a district will be automatically ended if there is no other District Employment record in the district that can completely contain the Assignment.


For example, if there is a District Employment record that begins January 1 with no end date, and a second District Employment that begins February 1 with no end date and a District Assignment record that begins January 15 with no end date, the first District Employment record, when ended, will end the District Assignment record, because the remaining District Employment record cannot fully contain that assignment as it started prior to that record.


If the district assignment starts AFTER the District Employment record ends, the assignment will not be ended. The user will need to correct this situation in order to end the employment record by doing one of the following:

  • Changing the end date of the employment record to be later than the start date of the latest assignment
  • Deleting the assignment
  • Changing the assignment start date to be earlier than the employment end date

Employment records cannot be deleted if there is a corresponding District Assignment unless there is another Employment Record in that district that can contain all district employments. The following error message will appear if (1) there are district assignments in that district, and (2) there is no other district employment that can contain the district assignments.


When a District Assignment record exists after the end of its associated District Employment record, the following validation will occur, asking the user to correct the date issue.


When an employment record is saved and end date is entered, validation will occur to verify no District Assignment records start after the entered end date.

My Data Impact

If a staff person requests a change to the District Employment or District Assignment, no validation will be done at the request level. Validation is done at the Request Approval level. The validations mentioned above are used and the request cannot be approved until the validation issues are resolved.

Employment Record Preference Set to No

When the District Employment Record preference is set to No, the staff person may have a District Assignment record without having a District Employment record.

When the District Employment record is saved and an end date is entered, the same alert message will display. If the user chooses to continue, only those assignments that start prior to the end date entered will be ended.

Batch Queue Expiration Days

The Batch Queue Expiration Days field of the System Preferences allows a system administrator to specify the length of time a Batch Queue report should display on the Batch Queue and Admin Queue tools before it is deleted. This preference is available at both the district and state levels.

 

If reports should never be automatically deleted by the Batch Queue Maintenance task, this field should be left blank (null).

The value entered in the Batch Queue Expiration Days field should reflect the maximum number of days a Batch Queue report is allowed to display on the Batch Queue and Admin Queue tools. When a report exceeds the maximum  number of days allotted by this field, it will be deleted by the automated Batch Queue Maintenance task executed by the Task Scheduler.

 

A Batch Queue / Admin Queue report will not be deleted if a user has manually designated otherwise it be spared from deletion per one of the following methods:

  • Keep Until I Delete Option - This is set when the report is set up and assigned to the Batch Queue by marking the Keep Until I Delete checkbox from the Batch Queue Reporting Options.
  • Report Never Expires - This is set in the Expires After and Never Expires fields of the Batch Queue Detail editor of the Batch Queue / Admin Queue tools.

  • No Expiration Configured
  • Expiration Date
  • Crossed-Out Expiration Date

No Expiration Configured

If a value of "No Expiration Configured" appears in the Expires After field of a report, either the report has not yet been generated or the Batch Queue Expiration Days preference does not contain an expiration value.


Expiration Date

If a date appears in the Expires After field of a report, it indicates the scheduled expiration date on which the report will be automatically deleted from the Batch Queue List editors of the Batch Queue / Admin Queue tools.


Crossed-Out Expiration Date

If a crossed-out date appears in the Expires After field of a report, the Never Expires checkbox should also be flagged, indicating a user has manually excluded the report from deletion on the scheduled Expires Date of the Batch Queue / Admin Queue. The report will remain in the queue until a user manually deletes it or removes the check from the Never Expires checkbox (in which case the report will be deleted the next time the Batch Queue Maintenance task runs).

Days to Flag Roster Additions

The Days to Flag Roster Additions system preference determines the length of time a student's name will appear in green color within a section roster in both the Instruction module and on Course Section rosters.  This gives the teacher and any office staff an indication that the student is new to the section.

A value must be entered for this preference. The default value for this preference is 10 days.


This preference is based on calendar days.

Note the following:

  • This preference will determine the number of days the start date is green in roster views.  
  • The roster start date is considered Day 0 of the roster flag time period.  If the roster start date is in the past, a student may never display in green text. 
  • If no roster start date has been entered for a section, the student name will not display in green.
