Updating your school's Ed-Fi settings in jmc Office is crucial for establishing seamless communication with the Minnesota Department of Education (MDE). Once jmc tech support provides you with the appropriate credentials to connect with the MDE, simply enable Ed-Fi interchanges to establish a reliable and secure data exchange between your school's jmc site and the MDE. The updated settings allow for efficient sharing of data and compliance with state reporting requirements.

Head to File > Administrator Options in jmc Office to update your Ed-Fi Settings.

Step One: Click the "Ed-Fi Settings" link to open a new browser window for configuring options on the "Ed-Fi Settings" page.

Step Two: Place a checkmark in the "Enable Ed-Fi Interchanges" checkbox to turn on the Ed-Fi Interchanges between jmc and the MDE.

Fun Fact: The jmc Tech Support Team will enter the new API and Authentication URLs as well as the "Client Key" and "Client Secret" in the appropriate fields to connect to the MDE server when they are made available by the MDE.

Step Three: Select "Production Environment" from the "Implementation Status" drop-down list to change the environment from Staging to Production, enabling live data exchanges.

Step Four: Click the "Save" button to update your Ed-Fi settings.
