Implementation Details

The Skyward Qmlativ uses OneRoster for grade passback.

Entity Mapping

This document explains how Qmlativ entities are mapped to Edlink entities.

Notes

• student_gpa_method_name is a configurable property which controls how GPAs are calculated. By default we use the 'Weighted' method.
• From what we have found, sections (classes) are related to grading periods (sessions) based on multiple fields. By using a combination of the two fields from the section we can uniquely isolate which grading period it belongs to. However, we are NOT going to assume that grading period descriptions are unique within a set that has the same SectionLengthID. Therefore, we will support the possibility of sections referencing multiple grading periods, although we expect they almost always only reference one.
  • SectionLengthID - This field exists on both the section and the grading period
  • CurrentGradingPeriod - This field is on the class and seems to reference the grading period "Description" field.
• Not all Qmlativ instances have support for the same requested fields. For example, Qmlativ instances for Texas districts have different demographic tables/fields that those in Illinois or Indiana. Furthermore, administrators can configure their Qmlativ instances to prohibit reading of specific databases, tables, and/or fields. So, if you encounter missing fields on an object, first verify that it exists in the Qmlativ instance, and that it is shared.
