Add buildings link

If your district has an active demographics integration with your SIS, buildings will be added and updated automatically based on data from the SIS.

However, buildings may also be added manually in SameGoal if needed.

To add buildings:

1. Navigate to Settings > Buildings.
2. Click +add Building.
3. Give the new building a building name and a state reporting ID.
4. Click Add Building to save.

Buildings cannot be created with the same name as an existing building and building reporting IDs must be alphanumeric.

Updating buildings link

Buildings may also be updated manually in SameGoal if they were manually created in SameGoal. Building names and reporting IDs can be edited and buildings can be inactivated.

To update buildings:

1. Navigate to Settings > Buildings.
2. Click on the building you wish to update.
3. Change the name/reporting ID or inactivate the building as necessary.
4. Click Update Building.

Minor "display" edits can be made to buildings created automatically by the SIS (i.e. changing the capitalization or punctuation of the building name). Other changes need to be made directly in the SIS.

Inactivate buildings link

Buildings (that were manually created) that are no longer in use can be marked as inactive.

As opposed to deleted buildings, inactive buildings can have inactive students associated with them. Additionally, inactive buildings may still be included in reports, whereas deleted buildings cannot be included.

Buildings can also become inactive automatically if they only have inactive students associated with them.

Merge buildings link

If there are duplicate building records that should be combined, they can be merged.

To merge buildings:

1. Navigate to Settings > Buildings.
2. Select all buildings you wish to merge.
3. Click the Actions dropdown and select Merge.
4. Select a building to keep.
5. Click Merge.
   • The other buildings will be deleted and all students and users belonging to them will be reassigned to the selected building.

If there are duplicate building records but the duplicates don't have any students associated with them, the duplicate building(s) can be deleted.
