Purpose

Contains names and contact information for a student's parents and/or guardians. Part of the Core View Collection.

SQL Object

analytics.ContactPersonDim

Usage Notes

When using the ContactPersonDimension, it may be important to pay attention to the ContactRestrictions value. This field may indicate that a parent should not be contacted, for example, due to a restraining order.

This view flattens the edfi.StudentParentAssociation into a single structure, so a surrogate key is introduced as UniqueKey. This facilitates loading the data into modeling tools that require a single unique primary key on each table. This value is not used anywhere else in the Analytics Middle Tier semantic model.
