Application Data Export

You can export Application Data to send ISIR Corrections to the FAFSA Processing System (FPS). The Application Data Export process enables you to prepare files to be exported. Corrections that are made to a student’s ISIR are gathered by this process. For more details about reviewing a student’s ISIR and making corrections, refer to Correct ISIRs.

Regulatory supports the automated export of ISIR Corrections files. Based on schedules defined by users, the export service finds pending ISIR Corrections and passes them to the Application Data Export process.

  • On the Process tab, specify the export criteria and run the process.

    The Process tab is not used when the export process is automated via schedules.

  • On the History tab, review the results of manually queued jobs and scheduled jobs. You can also view details about the records within the batch and access the student profiles.

  • On the Schedule tab, create, edit, activate, deactivate, delete schedules, and specify export options (that is, selection criteria). You can also view detailed information on the last 5 runs of a scheduled export process and manually trigger an export process.

To view the process report, go to Regulatory Process Results. Find the batch and inspect the records included in the batch.

Financial Aid Processes File Management

Anthology Student version 22.0 and later enables customers to manage files in Azure File Storage using the Financial Aid Processes File Management form under Processes > System Administration. Without this form, users cannot upload or download files to Azure File Storage due to security restrictions. The file management functionality enables you to place files in the location where specific financial aid processes (e.g., Application Data Export/Import, Clearinghouse, NSLDS Reports, and others) expect to find the files. For more details, refer to Financial Aid Processes File Management.

Prerequisites

You must have the following authorization:

  • Common - Processes - View

  • Financial Aid - Processes - Application Data Export - Export ISIR Corrections

Regulatory US 25.4.0 introduces campus-level security for the Application Data Export so that the History tab displays only records specific to the logged-in user.

This enhancement requires the following configuration:

  1. In Settings > System > Campuses > Campus Groups, select a Campus Group (or create one) that only has the campus that the user needs permission for.

  2. In Settings > System > Staff, select your Staff member, and on the General tile, ensure the Campus Group for the user is the Campus Group from step 1.

Access Method

Select the Processes tile > expand Financial Aid > select Application Data Export.

Procedure to Export Application Data

Process Tab

Use the Process tab to specify the selection criteria for manually queued export jobs. For automated exports, use the Schedule tab to specify the export options.

  1. Note that the File Type is ISIR Corrections.

  2. The EDE path for the user's default campus is displayed in the Campus EDE Path (TG)Closed The introduction of the FTI-SAIG Mailbox and FT Numbers for 2024-25 and later required a new Application Data EDE Path (FT) to import ISIR files. The system uses the Campus EDE Path (TG) for all award years for the import/export of COD files, export of correction files, etc. field.

    The introduction of the FTI-SAIG Mailbox and FT Numbers for 2024-25 and later required a new Campus EDE path in Anthology Student to import ISIR files. The system now provides separate directory paths.

    • Import/Export of COD files, export of correction files, etc., for all award years will continue to use the Campus EDE (TG folder)

    • Import of ISIR Files for award years 2024-25 and later will use the Application Data EDE Path (FT folder)

  3. Select a School Code or accept the session default.

  4. Select an Award Year or accept the session default.

  5. Select the Queue Export button.

  6. A message indicates the number of correction records that will be extracted. For example, if 10 correction records are extracted, there can be 10 ISIR corrections on 1 student or 1 correction on 10 students.

    Select Yes to continue.

  7. This starts the job of processing the data and creating batches asynchronously from the selection criteria.

    The exported file CORRxxIN (where xx indicates the award year) is placed into the local Campus EDE path and copied to the System EDE Path.

    The batch is displayed on the History tab so that you can review the job results.

History Tab

The History tab displays the results of manually queued jobs and scheduled jobs.

Regulatory US 25.4.0 introduces the "Enable Campus Level Security on Batches" feature. When this feature is enabled, the records on the History tab will be filtered based on the logged-in user and the set of campuses from campus groups associated with this user. The filtering of records on the History tab is based on the SyCampusId. Records with a NULL value in the CampusID field will be visible to all users. CampusID = NULL is assigned to records that are not in Succeeded status (e.g., Completed, Enqueued).

A clean-up script ensures that batches on the History tab that were created before the implementation of the campus-level security feature are also filtered based on the new campus-level security. The script runs at the batch level per process and assigns SyCampusId values to the records in the batch.

For the Application Data Import process, the clean-up script updates student records with a valid ISIR based on the student’s latest active enrollment campus. When a student has multiple enrollments, the script updates the CampusID to the latest enrollment campus even if the student record was originally imported for a different campus.

For Application Data Exports, the clean-up script retains the Campus Name of the original record.

Unmatched student records, failed batches, and error reports for ISIR imports are visible to all users, including users with limited campus access. For users with limited access, the record numbers in the batches grid (top) and details grid (bottom) may not always match.

If the registry key setting "Enable Campus Level Security on Batches" is turned off under Settings > System > General, the History tab will load the records based on the default campus setting (Session Defaults).

The registry key setting is available in Anthology Student 25.1.0 and later.

Schedule Tab

Use this tab to create, edit, activate, deactivate, delete schedules, and specify export options (i.e., selection criteria). You can also view detailed information on the last 5 runs of a scheduled export process and manually trigger the execution of an export process.
