Sharing and Embedding for Grade Entry and Credit Recognition: Manage Authorized Access and External Services

Grades and Credits: review sharing & embeds for authorized access. Check source versions, input mappings and the values received by downstream nodes.

What this category's data looks like

This page focuses on the grade entry and credit recognition category. Materials include transcripts, deferred examination applications, and supplementary examination arrangements. Sources are the academic affairs system and departmental submissions, and the update cadence advances by semester and examination milestones. Transcripts carry final grades and credit fields, deferred examination applications record the application reason, approval date, and signature, and supplementary examination arrangements mark the examination time, location, and receipt. When these three types of materials enter the sharing and embedding feature, their roles differ: transcripts serve as externally visible results, while deferred examination applications and supplementary examination arrangements serve as process evidence. Field characteristics center on name, quantity, date, and signature, and each item must be checked one by one.

Configuration and implementation checks

This step is executed by the sharing link in the publishing channel (the publishing service performs authentication), and outputs the sharing link, display parameters, and authentication result. "Externally available entry points and authorization scope" are then completed by external visitors seeing the corresponding content according to their identity.

ObjectCheckVerification action
TranscriptCheck whether the name, quantity, date, and signature are consistent with the deferred examination application and supplementary examination arrangementsCheck the time limit and display items in the link configuration, access once with a restricted identity, and see whether the transcript fields are visible according to identity
Deferred examination applicationCheck whether the application reason, approval date, and signature match the transcript and supplementary examination arrangementsCheck the switch status of quoted snippet, quoted full text, and source original text, and access once with an unauthenticated session
Supplementary examination arrangementsCheck whether the examination time, location, and receipt are synchronized with the transcript and deferred examination application versionCheck the value of the per-minute access limit, try once with an over-limit request, and record the admission result of the link corresponding to shareId

Three common errors

  • Symptom: The name, quantity, and date of the same record do not match between the transcript and the deferred examination application. Cause: The two materials were entered separately without cross-checking.
  • Symptom: The supplementary examination arrangement version is not synchronized, and visitors see the old time. Cause: The sharing link was not republished after the update.
  • Symptom: The deferred examination application lacks a signature or receipt, but the external entry point can still be opened. Cause: Authentication only checks identity and does not check the completeness status of the materials.

How to verify the setup

Feature acceptance: access once each with an unauthenticated session and an over-limit request, check admission and quote display, and record the authentication result of the link corresponding to shareId.

Business test: access once with a restricted identity and see whether the visible scope matches the setting.

  • Check the expiration time, per-minute access limit, point limit, and identity verification callback address in the link configuration.
  • Check the display switch status of quoted snippet, quoted full text, and source original text one by one.
