The Mosaic Student Data Importer is a utility that analyzes student data and attempts to match existing students to Mosaic students using the Student Number field.
The conversion utility should only be run once.
Support approval is required to “Convert all Student SIS Keys to use Mosaic Student Number
The system is designed to protect clients against any mass changes that seem suspicious in order to protect the integrity of the system.
When running a student data import in MSA Client, the client will receive a warning message if the import results in changing, adding, or inactivating 10% or more of the total students already in the database. The client may confirm the changes and continue with the update process.
If the import results in adding 20% or more of the total students already in the database, an authorization request must be completed and released by an authorized HSS Support representative. The proper procedure is to submit a request case with comments to Support prior to making changes. This will allow a Support representative to schedule a time resulting in the least impact on your staff and their daily operations.
For the Mosaic Student Data Importer, a support representative with Admin-level access will need to be engaged prior to making changes.
All suspicious requests should be spot-checked to ensure data integrity is maintained.
