Student Demographic (GI) Record

Before creating download records, refer to the EMIS Submission Files for a list of steps to complete.

Prerequisites

  • Student demographic data elements are reported by the last building within a district where the student is/was enrolled on the last day of the collection request.

  • If a student is enrolled in two or more buildings within a district, the demographic data is reported in the building where the student spends the majority of time.

  • If a student is enrolled in two or more buildings within a district for the exact same amount of time in each, then the district will make the determination as to which building reports the student's attendance and absence days.

  • If a student has been enrolled in more than one district during the year, each district is responsible for reporting a Student Demographic (GI) Record.

Field

Description

School Year

The school year you are running the download for. Typically, this matches the school year environment.

Note that when you select the Graduate reporting period, the school year changes to the year based on the Grad Period End Date in the EMIS Configuration. This allows you to process the Graduate submission without changing your environment to the prior year.

  • Student/Student Cross Reference (S)

Download Period Window

This selection is active only for the Student/Student Cross Reference (S) and Student Records Exchange (X) download periods. The eTranscript (E) download period will not have this field active.

  • Midyear

  • Final

Building List

Select codes from the drop-down list, or click Asterisk to select all codes, then remove any that do not apply.

Start Date / End Date

The date range you are running the download for. The values for these fields are entered in the EMIS Configuration. The text next to the field indicates the EMIS Configuration field used for the date. If the incorrect dates are displayed, you must update the EMIS Configuration.

View Type

View type that you set up for Excused / Unexcused absences. Displays the values selected on the EMIS Configuration page.

Excused Absence Codes

Attendance codes that you set up in your view to convert your Excused Absence Codes to (EXC). Displays the values selected on the EMIS Configuration page.

Attendance codes that you set up in your view to convert your Unexcused Absence Codes to (UNX). Displays the values selected on the EMIS Configuration page.

Clear Options

Select the appropriate option:

  • Do not delete any existing records - to insert only new records; it will not overwrite existing records in the download tables.

  • Delete existing records for this year and reporting period, based on the selected filter criteria - to clear the records that match the filter you entered. If you are running a submission for 1 student, it will clear out the previous data for that student and create new records.

  • Delete all existing records for this year and reporting period – to clear all records for the submission. This option clears out orphaned records in the download tables. For example, if a student has a record and you make changes to Entry/Withdrawal data so the download no longer selects the student, the student's existing record becomes an orphan record.

Process only changed records

Select if you want to only process FS/FD records that have changed since the last download.

Clear Overridden Records

Select if you want to re-build download data for download records that a user modified and set the Override box to selected. The records will be deleted and then built by the Student/Course Download.

Clear if you want to keep the download records when the Override checkbox is selected.

This checkbox is inactive if you select not to delete any existing records.

Scan Data While Processing

Select if you want to scan the data for errors and list the errors in the download log file.

Scan Downloaded Data

Select if you want to run the error scan immediately after the download records are created.

File Type

Select whether the errors should be listed in a PDF or CSV file. You can only access this field if you select Scan Downloaded Data.

Include Warnings

Select if you want to list errors that would be considered warnings. If you clear this checkbox and run the error scan, only fatal errors, such as missing data, will be reported. You can only access this field if you select Scan Downloaded Data.

Default Local Classroom Codes

Select if you want to default the local classroom code to the EMIS Course records without building download records. This checkbox is inactive if the Run Download option is selected because the Run Download always defaults the local classroom code to the EMIS Course records.

CORE Validation File

Select if you wish to create a CORE Validation file with the download. This will create 2 CSV files. One will provide totals for each CORE area, and the other will provide all the courses for each student with associated CORE areas.
