Sometimes schools share messy data and getting into the right format can be challenging. Historically, this has always been the task of engineers working on data pipelines. These transformations typically added technical debt to the codebase and made it difficult to maintain as schools came and went. We wanted to extend the power of a good engineer and a solid data pipeline to all users of any technical ability. To do this, we've built a new feature that allows you to transform your data with AI.
Prompt Edlink with your desired transformation, and it will automatically transform the data. You can be as specific as you need to be, and you can even specify conditional logic (e.g. if they're a teacher, then modify their name).
The New Login Error Page
Sometimes debugging SSO errors can be tricky. We've made some updates to the page users land on when they encounter an SSO error. It has been revamped to offer more solutions to common problems and to provide more context for engineers to debug client issues.
Starting with LTI 1.1 and 1.3 launches, our error messages will (over time) be more specific and actionable. In addition, we've added a "Copy Error Details" button that will copy the error details to your clipboard. This will make it easier to share the error details with your engineering team or ours.
API Updates
- Fixed an issue where section IDs were not properly returning with enrollments in V2.
- Made some improvements to ensure that we were not pushing any incorrect references to the dataset. Previously, you would occasionally see some data that was in a bad state, for example, an enrollment that was not associated with a person or a class.
Dashboard Updates
- We made some updates to the page users land on when they encounter an SSO error. It has been revamped to offer more solutions to common problems and to provide more context for engineers to debug client issues.
- We've made some performance updates to the Data Pipeline UI so data should load and calculate faster.
- Added some missing person demographics fields to the documentation.
