Data Enrichment Requirements

The only requirement for data enrichment is that there much be some form of common identifier between the systems.

While there doesn't need to be an explicit identifier between the primary and secondary source systems, there needs to be something that can help Edlink correlate the data between the two sources. This could be an email address, a student number, or even some form of partial ID. It's not necessary for all data to have common identifiers, but it is necessary for the data that you want to merge together (with some minor exceptions).

Here are some examples:

• SIS ID in the might roughly match email address in another systems (e.g. 12345 in the SIS might match 12345@school.edu in the LMS)
• Edlink can make adjustments for values that are prefixed or suffixed with a specific string (e.g. 12345 in the SIS might match T-12345 in the LMS)
• You can join two values together to create a match (e.g. School ID + SIS ID might match External ID in the LMS)
