MBA Data Reference and Resource Plugin – Tips and Tricks
Here are some tips and tricks for using MBA Report Creator, MBA Data Reference and Resources, and PowerSchool Data Access Tags.
While MBA plug-in support does not assist with the creation of data access tags, MBA offers a phenomenal free plugin called Data Reference and Resource that includes an entire section devoted to data access tags.
Additionally, a PowerSchool Data Access Tag resource can be found by navigating to System Help. Click the question mark icon in the blue bar on the start page in the upper right-hand corner of PowerSchool. Once in PowerSchool System Help, search for data access tags.
I also want to mention MBA Academy, our Core PowerSchool Training Division. MBA Academy offers a course on data access tags called Data Access Tags and Codes.
To organize the data access tags I use, I created an MBA Data Access Tags report using Report Creator. I added the tags and formatting examples that I frequently use, copying and modifying examples to work with the information in my PowerSchool for different school setups. This report provides a data access tags reference with working examples. As PowerSchool modifies or adds data access tags, I continue to update the report.
