PREVIOUS VERSION

This site is the documentation for a Scholar Snapp Austin (v3.0), a previous version of the Scholar Snapp Technology Suite.

The Snapp solution is currently backward-compatible with v3.0, but all new development projects should leverage Scholar Snapp Technology Suite Berkeley (v4.0).

The final draft of the Scholar Snapp v3.0 data standard for the 2017-2018 application cycle was published on May 15, 2017. The Snapp Central API currently accepts and emits Snapp v2.0, the previous version. Development on the Snapp Central API to accommodate v3.0 is in progress (ETA July/August 2017). We encourage all new integrators to use v3.0.

Overview

The Context entity contains metadata about the file. It contains three required elements (Created, CreatedBy, and ApplicationLanguage) and thus should be present in every valid Snapp XML data file.

Details

This section contains detail and usage notes about the elements in the Context entity:

Created

Required. The date that the Snapp Data Standard file was created. Should be treated as read-only once provided.

CreatedBy

Required. The organization or website that originally created the application. Should be treated as read-only once provided.

We ask that implementers use the following guidelines:

  • Do pick a human-readable name or URL. As of Snapp v3.0, the Snapp program does not maintain a registry of organizations or file creators, so implementers may select their own. We recommend a human-readable name such as "Dell Scholars Program" or "Common App" or similar. It's also okay to use a domain name.
  • Aggregators that exchange data related to multiple scholarship program applications may specify either individual programs or the host name or a combination of both.
  • Do use the same CreatedBy name for the duration of an application cycle.

LastUpdated

The date that the Snapp Data Standard file was last modified.

The Snapp Central API will only update this value if the data was altered in the Snapp context – whether by an automated process or via the online Snapp Application form. If the data is passed directly from one application to another, we will not modify this value.

LastUpdatedBy

The organization or website that last saved the data file.

Similar to LastUpdated, the Snapp Central API will only update this value if the data was altered in the Snapp context – whether by an automated process or via the online Snapp Application form. If the data is passed directly from one application to another, we will not modify this value.

ApplicationLanguage

Required. The language in which the Snapp Data Standard file was created. Uses culture code, so we usually see en-US.
