Steps to enable and share Primary Org with SchooLinks

Students are assigned a primary org based on the building where most of the student’s enrollments occur. A school district can enable a metadata primary org column that can be be added by enabling a post fix setting in the preprocessor:l

1. In ClassLink Roster Server, navigate to Preview > Users. Open the Icon to add additional columns and select Metadata Columns.

   

   Once the metadata columns appear, confirm that METADATA.PRIMARYORG ****appears and has values for the student users.

   

   <aside> 💡 If METADATA.PRIMARYORG does not appear, this likely would mean that the field is not being synced from SIS into ClassLink. You can reach out to ClassLink support to assist with syncing the field from your SIS.
