Recreate Student Transactions

Use this option to access the list of student extracts that can be recreated. This action can be completed for all students or the current student selection. Recreating student transactions removes and recreates data in the StateEventQueue for the selected students.

Note: This process only affects data in the StateEventQueue table. Click Create Student Related Selected Extract File link to create a student extract file.

Recreate Section/Staff Transactions

Use this option to recreate and extract individual class section data for the 030, 031, and 063 extracts and individual staff member data for the 060, 062, and 063 extracts. The function adds the data to the state event queue and the next time the extract is created the recreated data is included.

Note: The applicable "Recreate" checkbox must be selected on the specific section or staff member page. For details, see Extracting Data for an Individual Section, Extracting Data for an Individual Section Schedule, Extracting Data for a Specific Staff Member, Extracting Current Assignment Data for a Specific Staff Member or Extracting Data for a Specific Staff Member Class Assignment

Resend Student Data

Use this option to resend data for students in the current selection or all students in the school. The resend function completes the same basic functions as changing a student's enrollment date. The function generates 041 Delete records for existing school enrollments. When the 041 delete is processed, by building the 041 extract, the 041 delete records get built and 041 new records are created for current enrollment data into the extract file. In addition, records 042-052 and 081- 082 are queued for building.

Extract data must be built using the Create Selected Student Related Extract File function after the 041 delete is processed. The 080 records must be built separately using the Create Student Final Grades function.

Students with Pending Events

Use this option to view the list of students who are missing their state assigned student ID or student PIN. Click a student name to access their student information page.

Note: Students in the list are missing critical information that will cause their events, other than the 040 transactions, to be queued until corrected.
