Object Triggering Logic

This table describes logic for triggering syncing of this object.

ActionTrigger
Post

When transcript records are posted for students in grades 9-12.

or

When a grade is posted to a grading task that is marked as 'Posts to Transcript' for a course with Transcript box checked and the student is in state grade = 12.

Do not report if posted from a course in an excluded calendar.  If transcript is manually entered, only report if student has an enrollment in a calendar not marked as excluded .
Do not send a record if the course is marked as inactive.
Do not report if Enrollment State Exclude, Wise Exclude are checked.
Post/Delete

When a grade is changed on a transcript record for a student or part of the Natural Key is changed

OR

When a grade is changed on a grading task marked 'Posts to Transcript' or part of the Natural Key is changed.

 PutWhen any field not part of the Natural Key is changed.
DeleteWhen a transcript record is deleted for a student.
DeleteWhen a grade for a grading task marked 'Posts to Transcript' is deleted for a student.
Delete

Transcript records will only delete when a student has only 1 Student School Association record for a specific Year and that record is deleted.

(Note:  If a new Student School Association record is created, existing records will not re-post, a resync must be completed to resend the data.)

DeleteWhen the Enrollment State Exclude or WISE Exclude checkbox is checked.

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.

Action

Trigger

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.
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.

Natural Key Changes, Cascading Updates, and Deletes Logic

This table describes the Natural Key Changes/Cascading Updates and Deletes logic of this object.

ActionTrigger
Post/Delete

Natural Key change:

  • If the Natural Key changes from the Course Reference or Student Academic Reference, the cascading delete/post logic from those resources will trigger updates to the Course Transcripts.

  • Records will delete/post if the Credits Earned or Credits Attempted are changed on a student's transcript record.


Scope Year Logic

This table describes scope year logic of this object.

Logic

Transcript records will send to each scope year where the student has a Student School Association, regardless of the Transcript School Year.

  • Data will only send for years that have valid configuration.
  • A resync must be completed at the beginning of each year so that all years transcript records will be loaded in the ODS.

Attempt
Result
Descriptor		The result from the student's attempt
to take the course,
for example:
Pass/Fail/ Incomplete/

When reporting from State Reported Grading Task use the Score Group or used for the posted grade to determine the Result Type:

  • Report 'Pass' when the posted score has the Passing check box checked on the score group where the grade was posted from.
  • Report 'Fail' when the posted grade does not have the Passing check box checked on the score group where the grade was posted from.

When reporting from Transcript Records use the Credits Earned vs. Credit Attempted to determine the Result Type:

  1. Report the Ed-Fi Code from the mapping for the following options:
    • When the sum of credits Earned is >= the sum of credits Attempted.
    • When the sum of credits Earned is blank or = 0.
    • When the sum of credits Earned is not blank or = 0 and < than the sum of credits Attempted.

  1. When transcript records are posted for a student for course with a state code and in grades 9-12, use core logic:

    • If the grade level selected on the transcript record matches a valid Ed-Fi code, report the grade level.
      1. When no matching grade level found with a grade level mapping, do not report this property.

  2. When a grade is posted to a grading task that is marked as State Reported for a course that has 'po and the student is in state grade level 12, use the following logic:

    • Report the mapped Grade Level from the Grade that the student is in when the grade/score is posted to a state reported grading task.  Report from the enrollment record with same School Year as the courseTranscript record.

      1. If there are multiple enrollments that match, report from the most recent start date.
        1. If start dates are the same, report from highest enrollment ID.
    • If the student does not have a corresponding enrollment record, report blank.
