Service Overview
The Data Feeds service allows information to be automatically shared between district systems so data stays accurate and up to date across applications.
Instead of entering the same information in multiple places, data feeds securely send updates from one system (such as a student information system or financial system) to another system (such as a vendor application, report, or dashboard).
These integrations help ensure that systems used by staff, students, and vendors consistently reflect the most current information.
What Data Feeds Are Used For
- Sending student or staff data to instructional applications
- Keeping dashboards and reports up to date automatically
- Integrating district systems with third-party vendors
- Reducing manual data entry and duplicate work
- Ensuring consistency of data across multiple systems
