Overview

The Ed-Fi Alliance is pleased to be able to offer technical support for community members working to implement Ed-Fi standards and technology. 

Community members can request support by making a request in the Ed-Fi Tracker system; these requests should be made in the EDFI project. 

You can also use this channel to provide feedback – we welcome suggestions, bug reports, feature requests or any other feedback on how to improve.

  • If you are providing feedback on a particular proposal or document, please reference the document you are providing feedback on.
  • If you are reporting a bug, please provide as much detail as possible on how to reproduce the bug.
  • For feature requests, we recommend this format: How To: Submit a Feature Request

What to expect once you submit an issue

Once you submit an issue, your issue will be assigned a key in the format: "EDFI-[number]", as in "EDFI-1312"

You can lookup your issue by going to this URL: https://tracker.ed-fi.org/browse/[key] as in https://tracker.ed-fi.org/browse/EDFI-1312

From there, you can to track that issue and see updates to it. You will also be sent an email when the issue is updated by support staff. generally, we try to respond to issues within one business day.

Support limitations

  • The support provided by the Alliance is limited to issues related to the setup, configuration and operation of Ed-Fi software components 
  • Support is offered to the community "as-is"; some limitations include
    • Requests may not be resolvable efficiently or at all due to the expertise of support consultants or the inability to replicate conditions that exist in the field
    • Support staff handles tickets during business hours and during non-US holidays, so responses or resolutions at other times may experience delays
    • We strive to respond and offer help efficiently, but large or fluctuating  community volume may impact our ability to do that

About Ed-Fi Tracker

Tracker is the system that Ed-Fi uses to track issues and work items across its software development projects and programs. Tracker has many different projects. Support tickets in the EDFI project will often result in new tickets in other projects, linked back to the EDFI ticket.

You can follow those other links/tickets to see how the issue is being addressed in an Ed-Fi software project or in an Ed-Fi program. You can also make comments in those other tickets..

Note that while all community members are able to view and comment on tickets in many of the software development projects, the EDFI project is the only point of entry for community requests.
