Dataflow from TopClass to iMIS (writebacks)
As part of the iMIS integration, TopClass can perform a writeback to iMIS for the following:
- Completions - Written back to iMIS using activity tables or panel sources (user-defined tables). Activity records are used by default.
- In-progress tests - Written back to iMIS using panel sources (user-defined tables).
This write back is done via the iMIS REST API on a real time basis. TopClass uses a Queueing framework for writebacks. In the case of failure (internal or external), the record goes back into the queue where it can be examined and, upon fixing the problem, re-added to the outgoing (writeback) queue.
TopClass Activities
The following activities are supported:
- Online
- ILTs
- External Training (turned off by default)
