Edlink's integration with Ed-Fi allows seamless synchronization of educational data, supporting rostering, attendance, incident tracking, and facility management.
Single Sign-On (SSO)

Rostering
Edlink imports essential rostering data from Ed-Fi, including districts, schools, classes, and enrollments.
Extended Rostering
For more comprehensive use cases, Edlink's Ed-Fi integration supports extended rostering models, ensuring additional educational data syncs across platforms.
