Wyoming Ed-Fi Data

Tool Search: Ed-Fi

This article defines all of the elements of data sent per entity between Campus and the Ed-Fi system. 

 
    • Future data is suppressed when syncing data from Campus to Ed-Fi. Only past and present data is synced.
    • Data in calendars marked as Exclude will not send data to Ed-Fi.
    • Person-related records do not trigger a send of data to Ed-Fi if the person does not have an Ed-Fi ID value assigned.
    • Ed-Fi ignores custom field data entered in Campus.

An entity is a collection of related data which is sent in a cluster of data elements from Campus to Ed-Fi. Select the following links to view what data elements are contained and sent within that entity:

Understand Object Triggering Tables

The Object Triggering Logic Tables describe what actions within Campus result in data being triggered to sync to Ed-Fi.

Image 1: Example of an Object Triggering Logic Table

The following table lists the definition of each potential Action:

ActionDefinition
PostThis will insert new records and data within Ed-Fi.
PutThis action will update existing information within Ed-Fi.
GetThis action is used for items that are pre-loaded by ADE.  For example, Courses and Programs.
DeleteThis will delete records and data within Ed-Fi.

Understand Object Data Element Tables

The Object Data Element tables describe all of the elements contained within a reporting entity. Each element is given a description of what it is and any potential logic used to calculate the element, if the element is mandatory for reporting to Ed-Fi (indicated by an M), where the data is pulled from the Campus database and where the pulled information is entered within the Campus UI.

Elements marked as M are mandatory elements which must report data to Ed-Fi in order to meet reporting requirements. Elements marked as O are optional elements which are not mandatory for the Ed-Fi requirement but can be populated and report data for additional state-specific reporting purposes. Elements listed as C are conditional elements which are not required to report but will report data if the data is present within Campus.

UnderstandType/Descriptor Tables

The Type/Descriptor section describes each element and their corresponding Campus to Ed-Fi value translation that is occurring.

If the element is reporting a Descriptor, the Ed-Fi Code Value is reported.

If the element is reporting a Type, the Ed-Fi Short Description is reported.

Student

Provide a summary of what the report/function will cover and the logistics around the data collection or reporting. 

 

The Student Resource is a shared record among all districts. If two districts have the same student in the same year, the last district to trigger data to Ed-Fi is the data stored in Ed-Fi. 

For example, if one district put in a first name of "Robert" and the second district put in a first name of "Rob", the last district to update the student record is what will appear in Ed-Fi and on both District's reports. This is true for all field logic in the Student Resource.

Additional Logic and Considerations

The following describes additional logic and considerations to be aware of when working with Ed-Fi.

Attendance

Only attendance that is “verified” will send to Ed-Fi. Unknown records marked by a teacher will not send. Negative attendance will send when it is given an excuse code.

No Show/Excludes

If the State Exclude or No Show buttons are marked or unmarked on an enrollment the record, they will be deleted/added from Ed-Fi.

Required Fields

The Room number on the Section editor will become required once Ed-Fi is enabled. This data is required for the section data to send to Ed-Fi. Do a check on all course sections prior to doing a resynch on the Schedule Data to verify all sections have a Room number.
