Metric Configuration Tool - Import Dashboard Types Reference

The Ed-Fi “Classic Dashboards” are no longer supported through the Ed-Fi Alliance. You can still receive support and maintenance through the Ed-Fi vendor community. Please look at any of the vendors’ dashboard solutions on the Registry of Ed-Fi Badges or the Ed-Fi Starter Kits if you are looking for a visualization solution to use with the Ed-Fi ODS. This documentation will remain available to assist existing Classic Dashboard implementers.

Metric Configuration Tool - Import Dashboard Types Reference

The Metric Configuration Tool manipulates metadata that the dashboard application uses to render the content of metric values in the user interface. This section is a reference of the CSV files involved.

The metrics information used by the Metric Configuration Tool is contained in the following CSV files which are loaded by the ETL Application:

  • DashboardExport.MetricVariantType.csv

  • DashboardExport.DomainEntityType.csv

  • DashboardExport.Metric.csv

  • DashboardExport.MetricAction.csv

  • DashboardExport.MetricActionType.csv

  • DashboardExport.MetricAssessmentAcademicSubject.csv

  • DashboardExport.MetricAssessmentCategoryType.csv

  • DashboardExport.MetricAssessmentReportingMethod.csv

  • DashboardExport.MetricAssessmentRollupMapping.csv

  • DashboardExport.MetricAssessmentTranslator.csv

  • DashboardExport.MetricCellMetadata.csv

  • DashboardExport.MetricCellTypeMetadata.csv

  • DashboardExport.MetricColumnMetadata.csv

  • DashboardExport.MetricFootnoteDescriptionType.csv

  • DashboardExport.MetricNode.csv

  • DashboardExport.MetricState.csv

  • DashboardExport.MetricStateType.csv

  • DashboardExport.MetricType.csv

  • DashboardExport.MetricVariant.csv

Subsequent runs of the ETL Application will automatically re-load the metadata into the Dashboard database. The CSV files are located in in the ETL Runtime folder under Edfi.Runtime\Reading\Queries\[ODSVersion]\DashboardTypes.
