SAFE Updates
Please note that the details listed in the User Access Details are the access levels that were set as of the time the user last logged into ODDEX. If changes are made to the user's access information thru SAFE, the user will need to log out and log back into ODDEX in order for the access changes to be reflected.
ITC Staff Access
ITC staff can access the data for all districts their ITC is affiliated with. In order for the access to be allowed in ODDEX, the ITC staff member must first have a SAFE account. Once the SAFE account is established, the OEDS administrator at the ITC must grant this employee's SAFE account SDC Student Level access. Once both of these steps are completed and the changes have cycled through all the departments, usually 12-14 hours, the ITC staff member should be able to log into ODDEX using their SAFE credentials and have access to district data.

Contact Information
The Secondary Contact fields on the Agency record will take precedence over the User contact information fields if the LEA Secondary Contact information is supplied. Districts with a central enrollment office or one individual they wish for all districts to contact should populate the Agency Secondary Contact fields so that is used as opposed to individual user's contact information. If Secondary Contact information on the Agency record is not supplied, the individual User's contact information will be used for display in any contact details popup windows.
The contact information is used within the application to provide other users the ability to quickly obtain contact information for resolving issues. These popup contact windows may be seen from the reviews/commenting ability within SOES and SCR. If a user posts a review or comment, that user's name will appear as a hyperlink to a popup window providing contact details for the Agency or Individual.
The Username and Email fields can not be modified within this application. These elements are supplied to this application from a users SAFE account setup. Usernames are not visible to any other users, regardless if it is another user within your LEA or not. Usernames are visible only to the user themselves.
Email Public is associated with the email address on the user's SAFE account. If the user prefers not to share the email address they have supplied for their SAFE account profile, this checkbox should not be marked. This checkbox is left unchecked by default making the email address associated with the users SAFE account hidden/private. If this box is checked, the Secondary Contact information on the Agency is not supplied and there is no preferred email (or preferred email is marked private), the SAFE account email address will be shown in contact detail popup windows for other users to see.
Preferred Email
- Private - Preferred Email will be private and not shared with others. Being private applies to the pop-up contact information other LEA's are able to see from the commenting and reviews within the ODDEX application.
- User And LEA - If the Agency Secondary contact information is blank, the preferred email address will be displayed in the contact details popup.
Preferred email takes precedence over Email. If Email Public is checked and Preferred Email is set to User and LEA, the preferred email address is what will be shown in the contact details popup window.
Contact Phone
If the contact phone public checkbox is marked, the contact phone number entered will appear in the Contact Details popup windows for other users to see.
