Define the data sent to Destiny from Aspen

There are five Destiny export formats and five corresponding export modules:

  • Destiny School Course
  • Destiny Section
  • Destiny Section Enrollment
  • Destiny Staff Patron
  • Destiny Student Patron

Each of these is set up to use standard Aspen fields. If you are currently exporting different data to Destiny than is in the fields defined in the export formats, then modification to the new formats is necessary. For example, the Destiny data field for BarCode on a student is pulled from the Aspen Student localId field. If this is not correct, it will need to be changed to represent the right data for this field.
