ISIR Field A Y

Alphanumeric

Alphanumeric ASCII text, up to 255 characters, as defined in the ISIR Field Names topics.

Discrepancy_Evaluation_Script B Y

Groovy script

This script determines whether an ISIR correction for a given ISIR field is required, and what value from what source to correct the ISIR field to.
Additional_Doc_Req_Script C N

Groovy script

This script is intended to determine whether additional documentation should be collected for a student in order to ascertain whether an ISIR correction is needed; if additional documentation is needed, this script can also trigger document requests for the aforementioned documentation.

Baseline configuration provides examples of making ISIR discrepancy determinations and correcting ISIR fields when needed.

There can be a script for every correctable ISIR filed, as defined by the "Correction Data Entry Specifications" section of the EDE Technical Reference, as published by the U.S. Department of Education.

Required_Documents_Script D N

Groovy script

This script is used to determine whether the Discrepancy Evaluation Script should be run based on whether all required documents necessary to make the ISIR correction determination already exist on the student record.

If no required documents are configured, SFA will simply run through all discrepancy evaluation scripts for each ISIR field during the ISIR Review process.

Aid Year E Y

Alphanumeric

Alphanumeric ASCII text, up to 255 characters in YYYY-YYYY format

Aid Year ISIR Action is associated to
Additional_Doc_Req_Msg F N
