Three new functions are introduced with 8.1200 release at District Administration > TSDS > Domains & Entities:

• Selection of domains and entities with dependent enforcement
• Display of Send Status
• TSDS data extraction and send on demand

ASCENDER has broken down all TSDS reportable domains and extensions into four general level. Each level is dependent upon the previous level. This means that Second Level Submission > Staff Domain selection will generate an error if all First Level Submission entries are not also selected.

In addition to the level dependencies, the following dependencies will also be enforced:

• Enrollment domain depends on Student Identification and Demographic > Student
• Student Identification and Demographics Domain > StudentEducationOrganizationAssociation depends on Enrollment domain
• Teaching and Learning > Course Offering depends on Teaching and Learning > Course
• Teaching and Learning > Section depends on Teaching and Learning > CourseOffering
• Teaching and Learning > StaffSectionAssociation depends on Teaching and Learning > Section
• Teaching and Learning > StudentSectionAssociation depends on Teaching and Learning > Section
• Student Attendance > StudentProgramAttendanceEvent depends on Alternative and Supplemental Services Domain

The Send Status button will display the number of records extracted and percentage successful for each entity. This can be used as a measure in the decision to continue adding entities to the extract and send process.
Incomplete or low success percentage entities will likely lead to errors for dependent endpoints.

There are two ways to transmit data to TSDS – via a 6:00 pm automatic process or by clicking on the Extract & Send button. Both processes will utilize the selections here to determine what data to send.
