Easily configure Ed-Fi settings in jmc Office to enable secure data sharing with the Wisconsin DPI through the WISEdata portal. On the "Administrator Options" page, you can enable Ed-Fi integration, set permissions for special education data sharing, and customize reporting preferences such as student grade ranges, reporting detail levels, and automatic update options. Properly configuring these settings ensures complete and accurate reporting to the DPI.

In jmc Office, head to the File > Administrator Options page and click the "Ed-Fi Settings" link in the "Ed-Fi Settings" box to configure Ed-Fi settings for WISEdata submissions.

Step One: Place a checkmark in the "Enable Ed-Fi Interchanges" checkbox to turn on the Ed-Fi integration.

Step Two (optional): Place a checkmark in the "Enable Creating & Posting of Ed-Fi Special Education (SSEPA & SSEPEA) Resources" checkbox to allow WISEdata to access special education program details through jmc, including student entry and exit dates instead of a third-party vendor such as SEEDS, SpEd Forms, or OASYS.
