Ed-Fi Framework: View‑Only Archived Data Page

Ed-Fi: StudentContactAssociation Resource Logic Update for Head of Household

We have added a Head of Household (HOH) override flag on the student contacts page to help ensure only one contact per student is published to the State ODS via Ed‑Fi. If an override exists, the first flagged contact is published; otherwise, the first listed contact is used if no contact is flagged.

  • Head of Household Flag in the UI: “HOH Override” on the student contact's page

  • Publishing Rules

    • The system publishes only one contact per student as Head of Household via Ed‑Fi.

    • Only the identified Head of Household contact is published to the State ODS; all other student contacts are excluded.

    • The published contact follows the defined identification logic:

      • First contact with Head of Household override flag is published (check the order on Contact Management Page) - If multiple contacts have the override flag selected, the first flagged contact is used for publishing.

      • If no override flag is present, the first contact in the contact management page is published.

PSSR-432469

Ed-Fi Contact Resource Logic Update for Head of Household

The Ed-Fi Contact Resource logic has been updated to publish exactly one parent contact: the Head of Household. If any contact has the Head of Household override flag, publish the first such contact by display order; otherwise publish the first contact by order.

Note: To publish this correctly to the state ODS, please perform a ‘Publish Changes’ on the Students Contacts category. This will send delete records to the state ODS for all previously published contacts, except the Contact identified in the HOH logic. There is no need to disable the Student Contacts in the Data Exchange Organization Resource menu.
