Learning More

See the following links to learn more about the Ed-Fi Dashboards:

• The Ed-Fi Dashboards use an Ed-Fi Operational Data Store (ODS) as a data source, both to populate the student metric calculations and to provide fine-grained detail for the dashboard UI. The v1.4 Dashboard ETL is compatible with the Ed-Fi ODS v1.2 and can also be used with the Ed-Fi ODS / API v2.0 when used in conjunction with the Compatibility Views feature distributed through the Ed-Fi Exchange. Review the Operational Data Store Version Compatibility technical article for more detail. 
  • Developers who plan to work against a v1.2 version of the Ed-Fi ODS will find the How To: Load Ed-Fi Dashboards v1.3.1 from an Ed-Fi ODS v1.2 Data Store technical article useful.
  • Developers who plan to work against a v2.0 version of the Ed-Fi ODS will find the How To: Load Ed-Fi Dashboards v1.3.1 from an Ed-Fi ODS v2.0 Data Store technical article useful.
• The Ed-Fi Dashboards Developers' Guide documentation contains conceptual material, how-to information, and detailed information on developing for the dashboards.
• The Ed-Fi Dashboards documentation site has a Technical Articles section that provides detail on a range of specific topics and implementation concerns.
• See the Ed-Fi Technical Documentation home page for more information on technology that's free to license and download.
