Main Features
New DXP SDR
SELMA has introduced additional fields and functionality to align with the latest DXP SDR requirements. Please refer to our DXP SDR Wiki Article for a summary of these changes.
For detailed specifications and implementation guidelines, consult the official TEC documentation at Data Specifications for the Single Data Return – Data System Refresh Programme.
API Updates: New Fields for DXP SDR Alignment
Four new fields have been added to the student endpoints:
- disabilityStatus
- disabilitySupportNeeds
- ethnicity
- iwiAffiliation
Payload Format for Multi-Select Fields
For multi-select fields such as disabilitySupportNeeds, ethnicity, and iwiAffiliation, please use the following JSON array format:
{
“ethnicity”: [
“421”,
“122”,
“123”
],
“iwiAffiliation”: [
“0102”,
“0103”
],
“disabilitySupportNeeds”: [
“5”,
“7”
]
}
New Lookup Endpoints
To support these changes, we’ve introduced two new lookup endpoints:
- disabilitySupportNeeds – Retrieves available values for disability support needs.
- disabilityStatus – Retrieves available values for disability status.
Legacy Fields
The existing fields (ethnicity1/2/3 and iwi1/2/3) will remain available in the API for now but are scheduled for deprecation in our March release. After this date, these fields will no longer be visible in the UI for all instances. We highly recommend transitioning to the new fields as soon as possible to maintain compatibility.
