ClassLink Onboarding Step 3: Match Data

ClassLink Onboarding Step 3: Match Data

Overview

This article is the third step in setting up a sync between ClassLink and myLexia. It describes the data match process. 

Before your ClassLink sync is activated, the Lexia Support Data Integrations team will work with you to match your existing Lexia staff and student data with the corresponding ClassLink accounts.

Applies to: Staff who have myLexia® administrative accounts (District Administrators in a district site, and School Administrators in a school site) who also have administrative access to ClassLink.

Does not Apply to: Staff who have myLexia School Admin accounts in a district site, or staff who have Teacher accounts or Read-Only accounts.

Prepare for your data match

Once you let us know that your sharing rules are in place, Lexia will start the data matching process. Our goal is to find ClassLink IDs for as many of your staff and students as possible.

Read the following FAQs to learn more about the data matching process.

Why is data matching important?

Matching data helps:

• Preserve student progress and history

• Prevent duplicate accounts

• Keep records accurate

ClassLink data includes unique identifiers that are used to match records in myLexia.

Can students still log in while we are matching data?

Yes! During the data match phase, staff and students who already have accounts can continue to log in and use Lexia products as they normally do.

Can we add or modify staff and student accounts while we are matching data?

Please don’t! While we are working on your data match, please do not make changes to accounts—such as adding additional accounts or modifying the usernames of current accounts.

It may help to uncheck the setting for “Allow teachers to add students” in myLexia. You can find this setting in Settings → Site Settings → Data Security.

What if I don’t have any student data?

If you’re a new Lexia customer, or if you don’t have any student data in myLexia, we will not need to match student data. Please let your data integration specialist know if you don’t have any student data to match, or if you are planning on having all of your students retake auto placement.

After ClassLink imports are activated, what will happen to the Lexia accounts that didn’t match?

• Staff accounts that were not matched will be deleted. 

• Student accounts that were not matched will be archived.

How long does it take to receive my data match results from Lexia?

Once we start the data-matching process, you should receive your data match results within a few days. Please note that during back-to-school season, it may take additional time to return the results to you.
