This tab allows you to maintain the appropriate credentials for accessing your LEA's Ed-Fi Operational Data Store (ODS), which is a secure platform used to store data from multiple systems in a central location.
You must get this information from TEA’s TSDS Data Management Center (DMC). However, to obtain this information, you must first log on to the Texas Education Agency Login (TEAL) system.
Note: If this tab contains information, then at least one email address is required for each distribution list on the Options tab.
