  1. Have Sapphire to turn on the metadata.state_id field for their OneRoster export.
  2. Contact ClassLink and ask them to make sure they are importing that field and make it visible to your account.
  3. Go to your preprocessor and switch it to user, add a new transform and set it up as shown in the “transform creation” attachment.

  4. Head back to apps, find the Smart Futures app and go to the filter fields setting. See attached “app filter fields”.

  5. Make sure to enable metadata to be exported with the export, and they will need to select their new metadata.PASecureID field to be exported. See “metadata filter field enabled”.
