Install them both tomorrow, I dare you!
Installed the update on my test machine here, but a little disapointed that it looks that i'll have to get In Touch installed separately.
Indeed, You would hope for that £3k they would do it for you
not showing up on my SOLUS yet...
Your LEA (local support unit) hasn't authorised it to you yet.Originally Posted by Gatt
I get my updates direct from Capita now..
Do you have SLG or any other "extras"
Don't think we have SLG, just SIMS and FMS as far as I know...
It'll be interesting to see the changes in slg, certainly
What's new in SLG, linky to release notes?
resource #16948 on supportnet is for summer release notes i'll check if there's a separate slg update the only bit in the main notes =
SIMS Learning Gateway 2
For information on the new version of SIMS Learning Gateway 2, please
refer to the release notes that will be made available from our SOLUS
website (http://www.capitaes.co.uk/solus) on product release.
SIMS Options Offer
This is the initial phase of the SIMS Options Offer process in SIMS. The first
phase provides the ability to:
define and maintain Options Offers.
create associated courses and lists of choices.
assign pupil/students to the appropriate offers for their National Curriculum
Year groups and define the band structure for eventual import into Options
5.70 and Nova-T6.
The second phase of the SIMS Options Offer process will enable
pupil/students and their parents to select and approve Options Choices via a
SIMS Learning Gateway web page.
There is also aStudent Choices page that can be used by class teachers to
explain the choices to parents and to directly involve pupil/students in
making the best possible Options choices for their future development. This
process can be incorporated into parents’ evening or a specific Options
consultation time can be arranged to discuss the possibilities.
Once pupil/students have made their Options choices, the resulting
selections can be imported into Options 5.70 to enable the generation of
classes and the creation of an Options solution.
Defining Options Offers enables the outlining of future course choices
without using Nova-T6 at an early stage. This enables the timetabler to
experiment with the structure of the future curriculum and timetable plan.
This process can be carried out as many times as necessary until a
satisfactory structure is achieved.
can't see any more slg notes apart from the april ones, though the release notes http://www.capitasolus.co.uk/release...ummer10RNa.pdf say all the manuals for slg are updated so there may be other changes listed in other docs or the roadmap.
Looks like they didn't manage to solve the problem of printing Year Timetables. It could not pick up all the sub-bands when we tested it. But at least they have listened to what we said and made sure the option is not there - we said it is best to be missing this routine rather than being present but not working properly!
Both SIMS 7.132 and FMS 6.132 are working well. No problems yet!

i'm interested in feedback from anyone testing it out especially with FMS and fees, as our team will leave at the end of this week and then testing it will be impossible.
