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.

Move to Exchange

Non-Exchange Clients: Select the Move to Exchange button only during the One Touch Onboarding window to initiate the transfer of data from ASCENDER to The Exchange.

NOTE: Districts will be notified by their ASCENDER Manager as to when it is time to initiate the transfer.

After selecting the Move to Exchange button, a pop-up window opens with a warning message:

You are about to establish a connection from ASCENDER to The Exchange. This action will remove any existing connection information.

The initial Extract and API processing may take an extended amount of time due to the extraction and processing of data. Clicking Yes confirms that you have contacted the Exchange and completed the necessary requirements for the conversion.

Do NOT proceed until the Data Privacy Agreement and the Exchange License Agreement have been completed with your local ESC and your local ESC has confirmed that you are ready to migrate.

By clicking Yes to proceed, you acknowledge the potential risks and confirm that you have met the above requirements.


Existing Exchange Clients: Select the Reset Exchange Credentials button to reset credentials. The client ID will stay the same and a new secret will be generated.
