Below are a few tips on configuring your Data Hub for the new school year:
Current School Year –
The school year selected in the “Current School Year” pull down menu in the data hub cockpit will determine which school year is designated as the current school year for any inbound and outbound data integrations enabled in your Data Hub Cockpit, and the default year reports and validation scripts it will run against. It is recommended to select the current school year in this pull down menu.
Verify User Access -
Log in to your Data Hub Cockpit and verify user access by reviewing who has access, and what each individual's authorization (permission) is configured for. Authorizations are segmented into 3 different types:
- Superintendent - Sign/Revoke Agreements
- Technical Contact - Full access to dashboards, Add/Delete/Edit user accounts and permissions (exception is Superintendents), and full access to all reports.
- Data Steward - Full access to reports
Review Product Catalog –
If you would like to learn more on current partners of the MiDataHub > EdFi environment, please take a second and review the Product Catalog, located at
