Overview

This feature, introduced in Ed-Fi Dashboards v1.3.1, adds new search functionality to student and staff by expanding identification code search to other identifiers. This article briefly describes the configuration and use of the feature.

Configuration

The search is configured per Local Education Agency and Search Category (Student or Staff) and can be configured for one to many identification systems. If only Student USI identification codes are available, the behavior of the search does not change from previous versions. If additional Student Identification codes are loaded, the search will include these additional codes in the search results.

The configuration is made by populating the following tables:

DatabaseTable
EdFi_Applicationdashboard.LocalEducationAgencySearch
EdFi_Dashboarddomain.StudentIdentificationCode
EdFi_Dashboarddomain.StaffIdentificationCode

 

The following three figures show the populated tables:

Figure 2. domain.StudentIdentificationCode


Figure 3. domain.StaffIdentificationCode

Sample Search Results

If no configuration is present in the Application database, but there are identification codes loaded into the Dashboard database, then by default all identification systems are enabled for search.

Previous behavior: Only StudentUSI is included in search.

 

 

New behavior: All identification codes loaded will be included in the search.
