New look for sharing data

We’ve updated the data-sharing interface for districts, making it even easier to share the right data with the right app.

Now it’s simpler to pick how districts want to share data (by rules, sections, or schools), and when districts share by rules, we have the most popular type of rules ready to choose from. Districts can also create their own rules from scratch if needed.

We’re making it it easier for districts to share the right data with the right application—but that can make it difficult for apps to track how a district’s data has changed over time.

Now, when looking at a district’s current set of sharing rules, applications can view the district’s permissions history:

Search district overview

We updated applications’ Overview Page in the Clever dashboard with search and filter functionality. This makes it easy for app team members to find districts that paused their syncing, need to share data, or are getting ready to launch next week.
