Attendance

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.

Attendance Change Tracking (Attendance > Reports)
Section Change Tracking (Attendance > Reports)
Attendance Change Tracking (Campus Instruction > Reports (Attendance))

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

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

This preference can be turned on and off at any time. Data is only 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 are returned on the reports.

Texas districts: This is a read-only option set to Yes and cannot be modified. This preference is critical for attendance auditing utilized by state reporting.

Kentucky districts: This preference and the attendance tracking reports are not available.

Enrollment Preferences

Enrollment Overlap

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, Census Enrollment, Student Locator, etc.).

Click here to expand...

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. When 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 Enrollments. Allows primary enrollments to overlap. Red exclamation points display next to the overlapping enrollments on the Enrollments tool.
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. When 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 is not saved and selecting OK on the warning message results 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 any primary enrollment overlap 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 when 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 does 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.

Allow Duplicate Student State IDs

When set to Yes, students may be assigned the same state ID number.

When set to No, each state ID number must be unique; when a duplicate ID is entered, an error message displays.

For districts that are part of a State Edition where state IDs are auto-generated, a value of Pending displays when adding a new student in the State ID field. This applies to the following states:

Kentucky
Maine
Montana
South Dakota

When a state ID import is used, duplication could still occur. The preference does not prohibit an import from importing a duplicate ID. This is the responsibility of the state to ensure IDs are not duplication.

Student State ID Method

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

The Student State ID Method system preference determines how Student State IDs are generated for new students within Campus. This is only available for districts linked to a state edition.

Click here to expand...

For State-linked districts, the Student State ID Method field indicates how Student State IDs are assigned to new district students.

This field is likely to be set to a value of State Assigned, meaning Student State IDs are generated by the state in the format indicated by the state value. Any district-level Student State IDs are overwritten by the state-level value (if discrepancies exist).

When the field is set to a value of Generation Off, Student State IDs are not automatically generated; instead, they manually entered via the Demographics tool.

Enrollment records created through the Student Locator are not automatically assigned a Student State ID; however, there is an option to manually enter an ID (if known). Student State IDs created at the district level sync to the state.

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

The following table describes each field value:

Value	Description
District Controlled	Indicates Student State IDs are not automatically generated for new students within state-linked District Editions or at the state level. Users need to manually enter Student State ID data on the Demographics tool. Student State IDs entered at the district are synced up the state.
2 digit year + 7 digit random	Indicates 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 zeroes	Indicates 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 zeroes	Indicates 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: When 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.

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.

Districts that are not state-linked can modify this preference, as desired.

State edition customers and state-linked districts do not have the option to modify this preference. The preference is determined by the state Department of Education and updated by Infinite Campus. The setting is 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 occurs 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/edited/saved unless there is a corresponding District Employment record.

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

For example, when 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, ends the District Assignment record, because the remaining District Employment record cannot fully contain that assignment as it started prior to that record.

When the district assignment starts AFTER the District Employment record ends, the assignment is not ended. The user needs 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 when 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 displays when (1) there are district assignments in that district, and (2) there is no other district employment that can contain the district assignments.

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

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 displays. When the user chooses to continue, only those assignments that start prior to the end date entered is ended.

My Data Impact

When a staff person requests a change to the District Employment or District Assignment, no validation is 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.

Preference Logic

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

For Maine users, preferences are set by the state and are 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 are 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 are enforced:

When the Demographics page for an existing staff member is loaded, the appropriate race/ethnicity fields are marked as required (red text and asterisk). The page cannot be saved until the required fields are populated.
- When the user deleted the Staff IDs after loading the page for an existing staff member, the race/ethnicity fields are still required. The page needs 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 are not marked as required. However, when a Local or State Staff ID is entered, the page cannot be saved until the appropriate race/ethnicity fields are completed.
The Staff Locator requires completion of the appropriate fields.
The Add Person tool does not allow a Save operation when a Local or State Staff ID is entered.

Student Behavior

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

When the Demographics page for an existing student is loaded, the appropriate race/ethnicity fields are marked as required (red text and asterisk). The page cannot be saved until the required fields are populated.
- When the user deleted the Student IDs after loading the page for an existing student, the race/ethnicity fields are still required. The page needs 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 are not marked as required. However, when 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 requires completion of the appropriate fields.
The Add Person page does not allow a Save operation when a Local or State Staff ID is entered.

All People Behavior

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

For Kentucky districts, this field is controlled by the state. Values set at the state level are pushed down to districts.

Require Race Selection

This preference setting indicates when race information is required, based on the answer to the "Is the individual Hispanic/Latino?" question on the Demographics tool.

Available selections for this option vary depending on the selection of the Require Race/Ethnicity Data For preference.

When the Require Race/Ethnicity Data For preference is set to No One, the Require Race Selection preference is set to Never.
For all other settings of the Require Race/Ethnicity Data For preference, options for Require Race Selection are Only when Hispanic/Latino = No and Always.

For Kentucky districts, this field is controlled by the state. Values set at the state level are pushed down to districts.

Require Race/Ethnicity Determination for

The Race/Ethnicity Determination for preference sets logic for when the Race Determination field is a required field.

For Kentucky districts, this field is controlled by the state. Values set at the state level are pushed down to districts.

Flag Health Conditions

This preference determines the display of health conditions assigned to students.

When set to yes, any condition marked as "Allow Flag" displays checked by default when that condition is assigned to a student and the flag displays by the student’s name. When this preference is turned off, the flag does not display next to the student’s name even when the box is checked in the Condition for the student. Both this preference and the "Allow Flag" checkbox on the Condition Setup tool must be marked to have the flag displayed in the header.

When the Flag Health Conditions is set to Yes, a flagged condition marked on the Condition List that is assigned to a student displays 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.

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

Health Conditions

Default Health Conditions

Default Health Conditions preference allows users to use the Campus default conditions in addition to their custom conditions or just custom conditions.

Days to Flag Roster Additions

The Days to Flag Roster Additions system preference determines the length of time a student's name displays 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.

This preference is based on calendar days.

Screenshot of the Days to Flag Roster Additions display

The default value for this field is 10 days.

Note the following:

This preference determines 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.
When no roster start date has been entered for a section, the student name does not display in green.

Any students with a start date entered on a section roster displays in green font in the following areas for the specified number of days:

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.

When 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 is deleted by the automated Batch Queue Maintenance task executed by the Task Scheduler.

A Batch Queue/Admin Queue report is not deleted when 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.

When set to Yes, the student's EL tool displays a read-only Fifth Year Monitoring label. When set to No, this label does not display.	English Learners
School Choice
Enable Student Assignment Validation	The Enable Student Assignment Validation is used in the School Assignment Process (School Choice). This preference works in conjunction with the School Boundary Warnings and the Enable Sequential School Choice Applications preferences. When turned on, a student needs to reside within the boundaries of the chosen school or have an Override indicating the student can be enrolled in the school. Setting this preference to Yes also requires the School Boundary preference to be set to Yes. When this is turned on, the schools assigned to the Schools tab within the address need to be marked as the Resides school. When this preference is set to yes, the following logic is used in the Enrollment Roll Forward tool: Continuous programs - If the student is participating in a continuous program and the current school does not offer the next grade, rather than mapping the next school from the school boundary table the processing will map the next school based on the program boundaries for the continuous program. If there is no mapping in the program boundaries that offers the next grade, then the student will roll using the school boundaries. Next grade level in same school - When student assignment is used the roll forward will ensure that the student is within school boundaries. If the student has an override to attend the school for a program that requires program boundaries, the roll forward will also ensure that the student is within the program boundaries. If the student is outside program boundaries or school boundaries and does not have an override that would allow the enrollment the student will be rolled into their next calendar using school boundaries processing. Promotion to new building based on School Boundary mapping - With student assignment a student may have a cluster of schools within their school boundaries that all offer the same grade level, however one of those schools will be marked as the Resides school. The student is allowed to attend any of those schools that are within their boundary, however the Resides school will be the default when rolling along school boundary mappings. Destination Calendar and grade on the options page - Specifying a destination calendar/grade is only allowed for calendars and/or grades that do not require student assignment.	School Choice
Enable Sequential School Choice Application Processing	This preference processes a student's applications for school enrollment in an orderly fashion, based on the student's ranking of desired schools as part of the School Choice process. When this preference is set to Yes, applications will be processed based on the student's first, second or additional choices for school enrollment. School Choice allows a student to submit as many applications for school enrollment as necessary, or as the student/parent is willing to submit. Using this preference ranks the applications based on the student's preferences and desires. Use this in conjunction with the Enable Student Assignment Validations and School Boundary Warnings preferences. Processing applications using the Process Application Wizard will only process approvals for the highest priority of a student's application.	School Choice
