The Ed-Fi “Classic Dashboards” are no longer supported through the Ed-Fi Alliance. You can still receive support and maintenance through the Ed-Fi vendor community. Please look at any of the vendors’ dashboard solutions on the Registry of Ed-Fi Badges or the Ed-Fi Starter Kits if you are looking for a visualization solution to use with the Ed-Fi ODS. This documentation will remain available to assist existing Classic Dashboard implementers.

Metrics have metadata that the dashboard application uses to render the content of metric values in the user interface. The execution of the ETL Runtime will load all the metrics required to display the dashboards from a set of comma-separated values (CSV) files, which can be managed using a purpose-built utility (see the article Managing Metrics Using the Metric Configuration Tool for details). This process enables licensees to manage metric metadata without modifying the database tables directly, as was required in previous versions of the Ed-Fi Dashboards.

The ETL Runtime loads the metrics information from the following CSV files:

  • DashboardExport.MetricVariantType.csv
  • DashboardExport.DomainEntityType.csv
  • DashboardExport.Metric.csv
  • DashboardExport.MetricAction.csv
  • DashboardExport.MetricActionType.csv
  • DashboardExport.MetricAssessmentAcademicSubject.csv
  • DashboardExport.MetricAssessmentCategoryType.csv
  • DashboardExport.MetricAssessmentReportingMethod.csv
  • DashboardExport.MetricAssessmentRollupMapping.csv
  • DashboardExport.MetricAssessmentTranslator.csv
  • DashboardExport.MetricCellMetadata.csv
  • DashboardExport.MetricCellTypeMetadata.csv
  • DashboardExport.MetricColumnMetadata.csv
  • DashboardExport.MetricFootnoteDescriptionType.csv
  • DashboardExport.MetricNode.csv
  • DashboardExport.MetricState.csv
  • DashboardExport.MetricStateType.csv
  • DashboardExport.MetricType.csv
  • DashboardExport.MetricVariant.csv


Subsequent runs of the ETL Runtime will automatically re-load the metadata into the Dashboard database. The CSV files are located in in the ETL Runtime folder under Edfi.Runtime\Reading\Queries\3.0\DashboardTypes.
