Object Triggering Logic

This table describes logic for triggering syncing of this object.

ActionTrigger
Get

Wisconsin has pre-loaded courses so we do not post or delete courses.

  • No Trigger, this is a look-up as Courses are pre-loaded. We do a match on the State Course Code to see if the course exists in the ODS.
  • We do not send data for courses that are marked as Excluded or not marked as Active, Courses in a Calendar marked State Exclude or Calendar Exclude, or Courses in a Calendar marked Summer School.


School Exclude, Calendar Exclude, Resource Toggle and Resync Logic

This table describes the School Exclude, Calendar Exclude, Resource Toggle and Resync logic of this object.

ActionTrigger
NoneIf a resource is toggled to 'OFF' after data has sent, all sent data will remain in the ODS but no new data will send.
DeleteIf a resource is toggled to 'OFF" after data has sent and an action is performed that would trigger a delete, that data will remain in the ODS until a resync is done.
ResyncIf a record is in the Ed-Fi Identity Mapping table and not in the ODS, it will be deleted from the Ed-Fi Identity Mapping table.
ResyncIf a record is in the ODS and it does not have a matching record in Campus or the Ed-Fi Identity Mapping table, it will be deleted from the ODS.
ResyncIf a mapping is changed in Resource Preferences, a resync will need to be done to reflect the changes.
