Data Groups and Data Items

Data Processing Rules can be set against:

• Data Group
  All the data items within this data group will have the same data processing rule set. For example, Student Exclusions, Start Date, End Date, and Type of Exclusion will have the same data processing rule set because there is a dependency on the data.
  
• Data Items
  Individual items within a Data Group could have different data processing rules set. For example, each data item in the Student Basic Details can have different data processing rules set for it.
  

There are three Data Groups with Data Item subsets:

Importing from Portals

The data processing rules for importing carers are split between B2B and Portals. This is to allow more flexibility for Local Authorities that don’t wish to import carer details through B2B but do require carer details for children imported through Citizen Portal (eg Early Years, Provider Portal, etc).
