Components
  • SmartSite Gradebook2 Institutional Adviser (GB2IA)
  • Final Grading Tool (FGT)
  • AFS
Process
  1. GB2IA makes a POST request to the FGT
    1. The request's content contains the grading information encoded in CSV and the siteId, which is used as the file name to stored the data
  2. FGT writes the CSV grading data to SmartSite's AFS final grade location
    • Files are versioned (i.e. resubmissions will move existing files to increasing numbered versions and will replace the existing grade file)
  3. FGT finishes the request by responding with a http status code
  4. GB2IA inspects the response from FGSES and finished the initial client request
    1. The client inspects the the response and if there are no errors, the client opens up the FGT in an pop-up window
