Understanding the Setup Table

Each setup table includes the following elements:

• Breadcrumbs – Navigation to the data entry page as listed on the page in PowerSchool. Example: Courses > Edit Course District Information. Each > indicates a new page or link.
• Navigation – Navigation to the data entry page based on the path to the page. Example: Select Courses > Select [Course]. Each > indicates the link to select.

Note: The first page in the navigation is Start Page. This page name is removed for brevity.

• Data Element – The name of the field as it appears on the page.
• Additional Information – Guidance for correct data entry. CEDARS element names are listed when appropriate.
• [Table] – The name of the table where the data is stored.
• Field Name – The name of the field where the data is stored.

Note: The Table name appears in brackets with the Field Name directly following. Example: [Table]FieldName.

• Length – The length of the data to be entered, as defined by the state.
• Used in these Reports – The name of each report that uses the data element. This field may be populated with "Required Setup", "Not Required" or "N/A" to indicate whether the data element should be configured for Washington State reporting not specific to a report.
  • The CEDARS element numbers are listed when there is a direct correlation between the data entry and the element.
  • The CEDARS File letter is listed when the data element is used in calculations related to that CEDARS file.
