Data Feed Tips
• Get started early (datafeed.xsd)
• Be flexible (the data feed might need changes once you
see where the information goes)
• Keep the population reasonable (size = time)
– ~8200 students = ~47Mb = ~7hrs
• Don’t forget to account for records that no
longer fit your data feed population
– COS records
– Grace periods
– Dropped classes
Site Visit / Data Conversion Tips
• Have the mapIDNumbers table (SEVIS ID to U
ID) as complete as possible (saves cleanup time after
the data conversion)
• Have as many DSOs as possible available, each
with a Sunapsis ready computer and Sunapsis
account
• Be ready to make the switch to Sunapsis
Tips (Other)
• Give yourself time:
• Get familiar with the base functionality (alerts, batching, timing of
updates,…) before you tackle E-forms, checklists, etc.
• Be flexible your implementation schedule
• Establish SOPs
• Pay special attention to Change of Levels
