ADX job has stopped running? How would you know? Here’s how!

As you may know ADX (Accudemia Data eXchange) is our import tool used to get data from your other systems into Accudemia.  Using ADX you can create an import job to run on a schedule that maps your school’s information from another system and sends it to Accudemia.  Once you get passed the complexity of getting all that setup you can usually just walk away and let it keep your Accudemia account up to date.  you can learn more about how this works by watching this recorded online webinar on Accudemia Imports.

Now what happens if the import job should fail?  Would you know?

Here’s how to keep the school’s ADX import jobs running like a well-oiled machine:

  • Setup e-mail notifications – This allows you to be on top of the situation by receiving a notification as soon as the import job fails.  You can place more than one e-mail in the notification box so it can be also be sent out to other IT/staff if the import job should fail.  Here’s how:
    1. Open ADX and click on Tools>>Options
    2. On the General tab, check the “E-mail me when job fails” box.
    3. Next, type the e-mail addresses you want to be notified in the text box area below.  Separate each e-mail address using the “enter” key so they appear on a separate line.
    4. Click the “OK” button and that’s it!

  • View the Error Logs – This can be helpful in determining why the job never left ADX.  Not only that but you can e-mail this error log to support by clicking the “Get support” link that appears if there’s an error.  To access this simply click on the import job that failed and it should appear on the bottom portion of the import job details with a large red circle near the last time it tried to run.
  • Check the Accudemia server’s execution details – This can easily help you determine why an import is failing once it leaves ADX.  This is how to check this log:
    • Click Tools>>View Execution Status on the Server.  From here you just have to click on the last job ran at the top. This will show you what portion of the import the server rejected so you can correct the import file.

Did you know? You can create groups from filtered reports

By
On reports: when you create and filter a report it "automatically" creates a User Group. After creating a report that you need, where you have filtered all of the students with " MATH "(Subject Areas), selected only the " Freshman "(Student Demographic) who have visited the center for " Tutoring "(Service Type) more than 3 times on a Visitor History report you decide you want to save that group and call them " Freshman needing Math Help ." You can do this after you run that report by visiting the User Accounts > Groups section on the left-side navigation panel. Once there simply click on the Report Generated Groups tab, then click on the report you just ran, and click edit .  At this point you can name the group and hit save changes and the group will now be available for you to use as a group filter in future reports.

Sign-In and Appointment Restrictions

By
We are excited to announce that we are introducing 2 new features today. When the students sign-in or create an appointment, now you can limit what courses and staff members to display. There are 2 types of restrictions available that you can use: The first one is the Student-Staff Member Association . This lets you assign specific staff member to specific students, so you can decide who works with who. The second one is the Service-Subject Area Association . That means that only certain courses will be displayed when a service is selected. For example, certain services like Tutoring might require all the student courses to be displayed, while a Self Study service might require the students to select a different kind of activity only for tracking purposes. The restrictions can be found under Administration > Restrictions in Accudemia 7.0. Once there, select the restriction type you want to edit. Then, 1) Select the Center you want to apply the restriction to. 2) Cli
