A university using the Education Data Architecture (EDA) finds that some addresses in the system have minor data entry errors that need to be corrected. The university wants to ensure that the system to existing rather than creating new address records.
What should the do to meet this?
A. Check the Do Not Update before saving the
B. Enable the EDA Setting for Simple Address Change Treated as Update.
C. Check the Disable Error Handling setting in EDA System Settings.
D. Disable Multi-Addresses in EDA Account and Contact Settings.
B. Enable the EDA Setting for Simple Address Change Treated as Update.
Explanation:
In Education Data Architecture (EDA), addresses are often stored in separate related records.
When minor corrections are made to existing addresses, EDA has a setting called "Simple Address Change Treated as Update" which ensures that small changes to an address update the existing record instead of creating a new address record.
Enabling this setting helps maintain data cleanliness by preventing duplicate or redundant address records caused by minor edits.
Why not the others?
A. Check the Do Not Update before saving —
This option prevents updates but does not help with correcting errors by updating existing records.
C. Check the Disable Error Handling setting in EDA System Settings —
Disabling error handling is risky and unrelated to controlling address record creation or updates.
D. Disable Multi-Addresses in EDA Account and Contact Settings —
Disabling multiple addresses might reduce complexity but does not specifically address updating versus creating new address records.
