From the Conflicts option of SCR, users will be able to review reporting conflicts for any students they have submitted thru EMIS. Any district linked to the conflict will also be able to see the student even if the district did not submit any data for the student. The ability to view these students may be removed when the conflicts are resolved.
When data is submitted to SCR and that data is loaded for viewing, rules will be run against the data checking for enrollment conflicts. If any conflicts are found, these are recorded and districts are notified on their Landing Page. As new data is submitted, for conflicts identified and then resolved, the records may move to new columns on the landing page.
Find/Export
Districts will have the ability to use the various Find options. Selections by name, SSID, and Gender are at the student level. The options available will be dependent upon the Display Mode selected. The user can select combinations of options. When doing so, if the Clear is not used, when the user returns to the same screen, their last used selection options will be populated as the default. The Clear option may be used to reset the selections back to the default values. Exclude Inactive and Exclude Hidden will be selected by default and Conflicts is the default display mode for the SCR module.
The selection of records by Display Mode provides the ability to display all students, those with conflicts or those not reported/mismatched
- Students - All student submitted by your district.
- Conflicts - All students submitted by your district that are involved in a conflict with another entity. This is the default value.
- Not Reported/Mismatched - Records for an SSID another district indicates your district should be reporting and your district is not reporting them. See Rules section later on this page for more details on these records.

When selecting any of the Conflict Status options which contain New, an additional input field will appear allowing the user to specify the number of Days Since New. Enter a numeric value in this field that signifies the number of days to count backwards to, from the current date, for a staring point in the lookup. For example, if the current date is March 15th and you wish to see all records which are new since March 1st, enter 15 in the Days Since New field. If a value is not entered in the Days Since New field, the users last login date will be used to determine which records are new.

Records may also be filtered by Conflict Age. Age is based upon the date the conflict was created, conflict start date. Options available are
- Blank - All records
- 20 days or less

Conflict IRN will filter the data down to only those students for which the conflict is with the Agency/IRN selected.
The find by Claim Date Between requires a range of claim dates be entered. If the To date is left blank, 6/30 of the school year selected will be used.
Exclude Inactive check box allows a district to eliminate resolved/inactive conflicts from appearing in the Summary listing. This is selected by default.
Exclude Hidden check box prevents conflicts that were marked as hidden by the district from appearing in the Summary listing.
Claimed By My IRN check box allows a district to only display conflicts that were claimed by that district IRN.
The query box is collapsible using the icon in the lower left corner of the query box. The icon acts as a toggle allowing the box to be collapsed and expanded as desired.

The column heading acts as a toggle allowing the data to be sorted in ascending or descending order by repeatedly clicking on the column heading. The ability to sort by columns is only available when the Display Mode is set to Students.
Using the Clear link resets all of the query filters to their default values.

Using the Export button, the user has the ability to export all data for the students included in the current Find selections. The data fields included in the export include all elements for a student including the conflict or mismatch detail. From the File Output Format drop down, select TAB delimited or comma separated (CSV) format. The resulting output file may be saved and imported into a spreadsheet.

SCR Summary
This screen illustrates how an enrollment conflict might appear. In this example, the represents a missing enrollment. Your district has reported a student pointing to another district and the other district has yet to report the student. Depending on the situation, the student name may not be included in the summary listing. If the student name is available to view, it will display in the side-by-side conflict detail grid.
By clicking on the icon or the conflict code link, the details about the data being reported are listed in a grid format pop-up, comparing what each entity reported.
Detail of Conflict
The conflict itself is listed at the top, with its code. The Conflict Effective Dates indicate when the conflict was first identified. When the conflict is closed by a new data submission, an end date will be added. The details included will change depending on the conflict situation that is identified. Users and select the printer icon in the upper left corner if printing is desired. When closing this page, the user is returned to the student summary screen.
Each conflict can have comments posted on it. A conflict must be present in order for a comment to be posted. The comments are linked to the conflicts. These comments are viewable from all entities involved in the conflict, ITC and ODE personnel.
When clicking on the Add Comment button a pop-up box will appear.
Adding comments will cause the student to move to a new column on the landing page.
Once saved, comments entered are immediately visible at the top of the conflict display screen. Comments can not be changed or deleted once they have been saved.
All comments are marked shared by default. Shared comments can be seen by anyone with access to the students data through SCR. By unchecking the shared box, the comment can be seen only by users within the commenter's agency.
The individual's name who posted the comment is a hyperlink to display contact information for the LEA/individual. Clicking on the hyperlink will result in a popup window containing contact information similar to the following
Hidden/Not Hidden Conflicts
When reviewing conflicts, districts have the ability to Hide them. This functionality may be useful if the conflict in question has been evaluated and can be ignored. Within the conflict detail screen, clicking on the Hide button will set this conflict to a hidden status. The hide button is located in the upper portion of the conflict pop-up screen, above the Comments area. When a conflict is hidden, it is hidden for all users within that LEA, not just for the user who elected to click on the Hide button. Anyone with comment access or higher to SCR has the ability to Hide/Unhide conflicts.
There is no mass application of the Hidden status, each conflict must be evaluated and marked.
A conflict may be unhidden after it has been marked hidden. When a record is hidden,there will be an Unhide button in the conflict details popup.
With the status set to Hidden, the district may then exclude these in the query options by marking the Exclude Hidden selection box. The Exclude Hidden check box is selected by default when accessing the SCR module.
When using the All count hyperlink from the Landing Page, the Exclude Hidden check box is unmarked allowing all conflicts, regardless if they are hidden or not, to be included in the Summary listing. When using the Not Hidden count hyperlink from the Landing page, the Exclude Hidden check box is marked preventing any conflicts that have been marked as hidden from being included in the Summary listing.
If new data is submitted for an SCR record that is marked as Hidden, the record is changed to Not Hidden automatically and will require a re-evaluation of any remaining conflict if the district wishes to Hide it again.
Resolved Conflicts
As conflicts for a student are resolved with a new data submission, the conflict icon will change to green, strike through will be added and the student will move to the Resolved column on the landing page.
If desired, the district can click on the to view details on the student as last reported by both entities. The cause of the conflict will not be visible on this grid. The source of the conflict is stored within the applications as part of the audit update records. The audit records can be reviewed if desired. Using the Exclude Inactive checkbox of the query filters, the user may prevent the resolved conflicts from being included in the Summary listing.
Audit Entries
