1. Introduction

1.1 Document Purpose

Welcome to the State Reporting and Records Transfer System (SRRTS) Supplemental User Guide for Eligibility in the Local Context (ELC) Records Transfer Submission.

This guide is designed to:

Explain the background and objective of ELC Submission.

Help new users become familiar with ELC functions.

Be a source of reference for experienced users with questions on ELC functions.

1.2 Document Conventions

The title page and header of this document contain a version number in the form X.Y.Z where:

X is the version number in sequence 1 through N

Y is the revision number in sequence .1 through .N

Z is the errata correction number in sequence .1 through N

Each new version that represents substantial change to the document (for example, adding or deleting elements, work products or processes) and will be serially numbered to the right of the first decimal (for example 3.1, 3.2 ...) once it has been approved by CSIS management.

Minor revisions (that is, format or spelling) will retain the version and revision number and only increment the correction number to the right of the second decimal (for example 3.0.1, 3.1.1, 3.1.2,…).

CSIS software systems are sensitive only to the Version.Revision number (e.g. 3.1). Correction numbers are not entered into CSIS software systems.

1.3 About the Documentation

Throughout this guide, the following conventions have been followed:

Bold Type indicates words or characters that the user enters or menu selections and buttons that activate functions.

Underscore is used for emphasis or to distinguish between similar but distinct references.

2. Overview of ELC Records Transfer Data Submission

Yearly, California high schools have the opportunity to submit to the University of California Office of the President (UCOP) a roster of the top 12% of the current year junior class, based on local academic assessments. Traditionally, this roster has been compiled manually at school sites and distributed through ground mail. The SRRTS Eligibility in Local Context (ELC) data submission replaces this manual process by electronically compiling and transmitting student transcripts/rosters to the UCOP.

The ELC submission is a Records Transfer task that is accomplished via the Records Transfer Graphical User Interface (GUI). The SRRTS system is used as a vehicle to “transfer records” between LEAs and the UCOP, with the Records Transfer function as the method by which the data transfer is done.

CSIS will accept submissions from schools with only regular academic programs. Schools with Magnet programs needs to submit their student’s roaster using the traditional method.

2.1 ELC Work Flow Chart

2.2 ELC Process Steps

In tandem with the workflow illustrated above, the following sequence provides a step-by-step description of activities and tasks to be performed by the LEA when processing of ELC.

This process assumes the LEA has populated the local SIS with the appropriate and correct data values as per the CSIS Data Submission Requirements (DSR) for the ELC data collection. Also assumed is the SIS vendor has made the necessary system modifications in order that data can be extracted from the local SIS specific to the data requirements and as per the CSIS DSR.

1. Populate local SIS.

2. Compare local code values to State Standard Codes. Translate differences in SRRTS (see Translation Tables in this guide)

3. Import the ELC files extracted from your local SIS. See Section 3.5 Files to be imported.

Review Import Error Report for each file to determine volume of filtered records. Determine if filtered records should be corrected in order to be included in the submission. If so, make needed corrections in local SIS and re-import.

Note: It is recommended to keep working with the same active transaction by re-importing files. Abandoned transactions will cause SSID warning messages in the AllFiles Report.

4. Validate the imported files.

Review Validation Error Listing Report for each file to determine error volume. If volume is too high, transaction will fail validation.

Make corrections as needed to help ensure accurate final results.

5. Make any corrections for a file through your local SIS and return to the Import (Re-Import) step or use the Correct function in SRRTS if the error volume is very small.

6. Repeat steps 1-5 until the files are successfully validated.

7. Send the successfully validated files to CSIS.

8. Open the View Status panel to open server generated reports (All Files, Student Roster and FCMAT/CSIS Transcripts) for review and analysis.

Based on analysis, repeat previous steps until data compilations accurately reflect student and staff demographics and counts. Repeat all previous steps until accuracy is achieved.

9. LEA DP Certify transaction for data submission to UCOP.

3. Preparing for ELC Submission

3.1 User Role for ELC

Access to SRRTS functions is based on the user role associated with the CSIS Digital Certificate. Verify that a certificate with the proper role associations has been installed in the computer that will be used for SRRTS data processing. The LEA Data Processor role shown in the matrix below must be associated with the certificate in order to successfully process ELC data through SRRTS.

LEA Data Processor – This role is used for Identifier, State Reporting, and Records Transfer data processing. It is used for modifying settings in Client Preferences (e.g., Translation table maintenance). This role is also responsible for certifying the ELC data which triggers the transmission to UCOP. Assign this role to user(s) who will perform these tasks.

Page 9: ELC Records Transfer User Guide - csis.fcmat.org · Overview of ELC Records Transfer Data Submission ... 2.2 ELC Process Steps ... Draft 2.0 Maria Agliano 2004 ...

SRRTS Supplemental User Guide: ELC Records Transfer Submissions, v3.3

Page 9 of 52

3.2 Translate Local Codes to State Standard Codes

A translation table must be created whenever local codes are not identical to State Standard codes for a given data element. The LEA is responsible for establishing and maintaining its own translation tables. The CSIS Data Dictionary contains the State Standard codes for a variety of elements and should be referenced by the LEA to determine if local code translations are necessary. The SRRTS Translation Maintenance utility found in the Client Preferences panel from the SRRTS Login panel has been designed to provide a way for the local district to easily input their local code values for conversion to State Standard values. Review the Client Preferences User Guide for detailed instructions on the use of the Translation Maintenance Utility.

If an LEA uses local codes that are identical to CDE standard codes, that LEA will have no local codes to translate.

If an LEA uses some CDE standard codes, the LEA will need to enter local code translations for the exceptions to avoid errors.

If an LEA uses no CDE standard codes, that LEA must maintain local codes translations for all translatable data elements.

3.3 Data Submission

Each SRRTS transaction must have a Transmission Reason that denotes the “Data Submission” type for that transaction. Data Submissions identify the objective in processing a set of data through SRRTS. The chart below illustrates the objectives/results of the ELC submission within the Records Transfer function.

Data Submission Objective

UC ELC – Eligibility in Local Context Student Records Transfer to UCOP for Admissions Eligibility List

3.4 Data Definitions and Requirements

Each Data Submission uses specific data elements. Associated rules captured in several documents are described below. These documents define and comprise CSIS data requirements and are shared with LEAs and SIS vendors as they are developed or revised.

Vendors use the documentations listed below as a basis from which to design and implement SIS data extraction logic that mirrors the requirements for a given submission. LEAs use these documentations as a guide in populating the SIS with data values that, when extracted, accurately reflects the LEA’s data composition for a given submission.

CSIS File Transmission Formats: Defines the data layout for all the File Types, Record Types and Record Sub types to be used in SRRTS.

Page 10: ELC Records Transfer User Guide - csis.fcmat.org · Overview of ELC Records Transfer Data Submission ... 2.2 ELC Process Steps ... Draft 2.0 Maria Agliano 2004 ...

SRRTS Supplemental User Guide: ELC Records Transfer Submissions, v3.3

Page 10 of 52

NOTE: Not all File Types are used in every data submission and not all data elements in a file layout need be populated for every submission. However, the SIS extracts that Vendors develop must have the same number of data elements in the same order as defined in the CSIS File Formats.

The ELC submission for this year does not introduce any new file formats. Some existing file formats have changed and more information is available in the latest file formats document.

CSIS Data Dictionary (DD): Comprised of business rules and data definitions (type, length, etc.) for each data element. A new version is published yearly, with additional revisions published during the year. During the SRRTS Login, the Data Dictionary version must be identified by the user in order to instruct SRRTS as to which version applies to the data being submitted. Vendors should refer to the data dictionary to verify field length and character composition when developing an extract. LEA users should use the data dictionary during data population to verify code values, field length and business rules.

Some minor changes to the data elements have been defined for this year’s ELC data submission. Please refer to the current Data Dictionary version in the reporting requirements page at http://www.csis.k12.ca.us/library/reporting-requirements/ for more detail.

Data Submission Requirements (DSR): This document combines many characteristics from both the Data Dictionary and the File Formats. The specific file types and data elements to be imported, along with business rules, are detailed according to specific data collection. Vendors and LEA must reference the proper DSR (according to data submission type) to ensure that SIS data is accurately populated and extracted for the submission.

See the UC Eligibility in the Local Context (ELC) Data Submission Requirements, current version at http://www.csis.k12.ca.us/library/reporting-requirements/ for detailed data population information.

3.5 Files to be Imported

The table below presents all known data submissions with the relevant File Types. Depending on the data submission, SRRTS will require or make optional different files. Refer to the table below to learn the file types that are required or may be omitted for the ELC data submission.

4. SRRTS Login Process

4.1 Login Panel

SRRTS login process begins with accessing either DataGate or TestGate from the main CSIS website or via a favorites bookmark created by the end-user. Once the SRRTS system has confirmed the authenticity of the CSIS digital certificate in the client authentication window, the system displays the main SRRTS Login page. The top portion of the screen shows user id and reporting entity that will be used in the transaction. The DD version and school year become part of the session content for the user throughout the session and on every panel. The bottom portion is divided into four major areas of SRRTS functionality and is defined as:

Statewide Student Identifiers – Allows for getting student identifiers and doing enrollment update.

Records Transfer – Allows for different types of records transfer through CSIS such as Pre-ID, ELC and others in the future.

State Reporting – Allows for state reporting submissions such as CBEDS, LCEN, and SNOR.

Preferences -- Allows for making modifications to user preferences such as SRRTS translations tables, and other SRRTS specific user configurations.

For modules not currently implemented, the buttons may be disabled.

The SRRTS login page displays the Reporting Entity (LEA name) and the CDS number. If working with multiple LEAs the dropdown menu can be used to select the appropriate LEA. The school Year and Data Dictionary version default to the latest year and version. Use the dropdown menu to select a different year and version if needed to work on transactions started under those values.

The Reporting Entity term was introduced with the need for Charter Schools to be able to submit data through DataGate independent of the district. The implementation of the Reporting Entity mostly affects the back-end of the SRRTS application. The GUI change relating to Reporting Entity is in the display of CDS number in the Login Panel and the length of the transaction ID in all other SRRTS panels. The CDS number is now displayed at the school level in the Login Panel and allows for Charter Schools’ own Reporting Entity selection. Additionally, the transaction ID number is now 25 characters long due to the display of the full 14 digit CDS number (e.g. 12345678912345-0405-00001) which can be at a school or district level.

If the user chooses a module for which the user does not have authorization, the system will display an error message “This user id is not authorized for the function xxxxxxx” where xxxxx is the name of the module he/she tried to access. The system will then redisplay or refresh the main Login Panel.

If a user wants to switch between reporting entities, school year or data dictionary version, then the user must navigate back to main login screen via the “login” menu item in the upper right

corner of which ever SRRTS screen that he/she maybe and reselect them as necessary. The DD version and school year once again will become part of the session context for the user throughout the session and on every panel.

The user must make the appropriate selections in the top portion and select a function below it from one of the main four functional areas to login to the appropriate application module. See detailed information about each part of the login screen below.

5. Import Process

The Import process is accomplished through the use of three different panels. In order to easily distinguish the three import panels, a new naming convention that attempts to infer the purpose or use of each panel is introduced.

Initial Import Panel is the same as what has been previously referred to Import Panel 1. There is no change to the operation or use of this panel.

Contact/Transmittal Import Panel is the second panel displayed as you navigate through Import. Contact information as well as transmission specific variable data is entered in this screen.

Main File Import Panel is the third Import panel and is used to set the path for the files to be imported and to launch the import phase of the transaction. Some fields on this panel will be disabled when opened via the Re-Import button.

5.1 Initial Import Panel

The SRRTS Records Transfer function allows for multiple ELC transactions. LEAs may import one or more schools within each transaction created via the Initial Import Panel.

5.2 Contact/Transmittal Import Panel

The Contact/Transmittal Import Panel is divided into an upper and lower portion. The upper portion is static, meaning that the same data fields are displayed for any data submission. The lower portion is dynamic, meaning that the data fields may change depending on the data submission chosen in the Login Panel.

Because the lower portion of this panel will vary, discussion of this panel references the two portions independently.

6. Validate Process

Once a file has achieved Imported status the file must next be successfully validated before sending the data to SRRTS for server processing. The Validation process takes the files that “passed” the Import step and performs a series of edits on the data. These edits include checking for mandatory fields and data type (alphanumeric, numeric, date) and valid code lookups. Once validation completes, a Validation Error Listing Report is produced and must be reviewed to ensure any errors that may have been detected are fixed.

In the ELC submission, the validation error threshold tolerates some errors before a file fails validation. The error threshold can be modified on a per-LEA basis via the Client Preferences function under the Preferences option from the Login Panel. Please refer to the Client Preferences User Guide for more information on this topic in the SRRTS Support webpage.

The View Submission Summary Report button is disabled as this function is not needed for the ELC transmission reason.

The View Student Records button is disabled until all files have successfully passed validation. Selecting this button will display a Student Records Report menu and prompts the user to make the appropriate selections before displaying the specified Student Transcript(s). The student transcript contains specific demographic and academic related information for each student. This transcript represents the final extract that is sent to UCOP upon LEA DP certification. Please refer to the SRRTS Reports Analysis Users Guide for further information on this report.

Once in Validated Successfully status a file may be sent to SRRTS server for processing, however SRRTS cannot begin server processing until all files required for a submission (see DSR) are sent. A file that fails validation may be corrected in SRRTS via the Correct process and re-Validated or, preferably, corrected in the SIS and Re-Imported.

NOTES:

A file must be in Successfully Validated status before it can be submitted to the SRRTS server for further processing.

"Successful" validation is defined by the percentage of errors and warnings encountered during validation and whether the percentage exceeded the threshold for the submitting LEA. This threshold default is set within DataGate by CSIS staff.

7. Correct Process

This process allows for corrections within the SRRTS application to files in which errors have been detected during Validation. Import failures cannot be corrected in the Correct process.

Users are advised to correct errors in the local SIS whenever possible to ensure that the source data in the SIS mirrors data being processed in SRRTS. However, when this is not practical or convenient, validation errors may be corrected directly in SRRTS using the Correct function. When the Correct panel is used, the LEA must remember to duplicate the same corrections in the local SIS. After using the Correct function, files must be revalidated.

The Correct process is accomplished using two Correct panels.

Initial Correct Panel provides a method of selecting a transaction and opening the file where the corrections are to be made.

Main Correct panel provides a method of selecting specific records within the file, displays current data values, and permits correction or deletion of a value or deletion of the entire record.

The Correct function only allows editing of existing data in a field or deleting a row of data. The ability to insert a row of data is not part of the Records Transfer system. All new records must be entered through the local SIS and then imported again into SRRTS.

Row numbers of records needing correction, as well as specific errors, are identified in the Validation Error Listing report.

Data entered in correction mode is not validated or translated. Therefore, data entry must use State Standard codes

You may make corrections and deletions in the same Correct session. All changes are recorded in the Correction Report. After correction, the file(s) will be in Corrected Pending Re-Validation status, meaning the user must return to the Validate panel to validate the data before submission (Send) to SRRTS. Upon re-validation, the contents of the Correction Report are erased.

9. View Status Panel

This function allows a user to view both file level client-side reports and transaction level server-side reports for the ELC transactions.

The reports available from this panel have either been automatically created in a previous process step OR may be created dynamically from this screen upon selection.

File level client-side reports are stored on the user’s locally accessible drive. When that drive is not accessible to the current workstation in use, then the reports will not be available for viewing. An example of how this can occur is if the report files were saved to a network drive that is no longer available. This circumstance will also occur if the LEA DP uses two computers and work files had been saved to the computer NOT currently being used. The scenario just described can become evident in the Import and Validate panels as well.

The “save” destination for local reports is derived from the initial selection for the Drive Letter for Workfiles field found on Main File Import Panel and cannot be changed.

The ELC Student Roster is intended to give the submitter a list of students identified and validated as UC eligible, prior to sending the transcripts to UCOP. The importance of the student roster is that the submitting agency can determine whether a submission is incomplete. UCOP considers all submission packets complete when a student name on the roster has a transcript associated with it. If a high school does not submit a roster, UCOP considers the submission package to be incomplete even if the number of transcripts submitted is less than the number of transcripts requested; however, if a student name is on the roster but a transcript has not been submitted for that student, UCOP makes every effort to contact high schools over the summer and into the fall of the school year. NOTE: SRRTS does not submit a roster to UCOP. UCOP never gets to see the roster, as it is available only to the submitter.

Server Submission Summary

The four most essential reports to be reviewed and analyzed by the LEA are the two All Files reports, the Student Roster and the FCMAT/CSIS Transcript. The All Files Reports must be reviewed to check for errors and the Student Roster must be analyzed to ensure data inconsistency does not exist. This can be done by comparing the student names in the Roster to the names in the student transcripts and making certain all the names match. The FCMAT/CSIS Transcript shows the detailed student transcript information that will be sent to UCOP.

NOTES:

When the transaction Status field shows Ready for Certification, you may proceed with the next step of the ELC Process – Certify after the All Files Reports and the Student Roster have been thoroughly reviewed.

If the transaction Status field shows Aggregation Validation Failed, you must review and analyze the errors reflected in the All Files Validation report, then make the needed correction in the local SIS. The revised data must then be extracted and re-processed through SRRTS (Import, Validate, and Send).

This procedure must be repeated until a Ready for Certification status is achieved.

Page 38 of 52

10. Certify Process

Once the ELC transaction reflects a Ready for Certification status, the submission may be certified for transmission to UCOP. Certification of the submission requires action from the user role: LEA Data Processor.

The LEA Data Processor certifies the data submission. This action should be taken only after the various client-side and server-side reports (available on the Validate and View Status panels) are reviewed and the LEA DP assesses the Student Roster’s results.

Therefore, although the transaction status may be Ready for Certification, the data should not be certified if deemed to be inaccurate. If inaccuracies are found, the LEA DP should revise the SIS data and repeat the ELC process flow (Import, Validate, and Send).

A LEA has the opportunity to de-certify and re-process its data through SSRTS, however; it is recommended the certification occur once.

10.1 Certify Process - Summary

The following discussion will describe the Certify process steps from the perspective of a LEA Data Processor role. Refer to this summary as an orientation to the sequence of events during certification/de-certification.

1. LEA Data Processor reviews the results of UC ELC Student Roster, All Files Reports and Student Transcripts before the Student transcripts are submitted to UCOP.

a) If data is accurate, LEA Data Processor accesses the Certify panel and certifies the submission.

b) If data is inaccurate, LEA Data Processor corrects SIS and re-submits data through Records Transfer ELC processes.

c) LEA Data Processor Certification will cause the data submission to be submitted to UCOP via a nightly batch process (Transaction status changes to “Transmitted to Agency” after transmission).

10.2 LEA Certify Process Steps

Two SRRTS panels are used to Certify ELC data. Initial Certify Panel permits the user to select the transaction to certify. Main Certify Panel permits the user to review the Student Roster before the Student Transcripts are sent to UCOP via the Certify function. This panel also allows for the ability to print the Student Roster. Upon LEA DP Certification, the data is distributed to UCOP via nightly batch.

11. Download Process

After the server-side edits are completed successfully and the transaction is in the “Ready for Certify” state, SRRTS produces a tab delimited extract that can be downloaded via the Retrieve panel. This extract contains all the student transcript data that would be sent to UCOP upon LEA DP certification. It is essential that before certifying, LEA DP downloads this file and does some analysis to ensure the data being sent to UCOP is accurate and complete. For example, one way to accomplish this would be to import the extract into MS Excel and analyze it with the many tools available within this program.
