North Yorks School - Pupil Achievement Tracker

[timbo343]

Ive just had someone come to me and say, "can i install Pupil Achievement Tracker on your system?" Looking at the software it looks like it is going to be a biatch to install and configure. Can someone just take me through how its best to be set up as i cannot get hold of the guy at county hall... no supprise there.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks

It doesn't like networks!!! Although the documentation tells you how to put it on the network our LEA advice is don't. We run it on just one machine with PAT installed on the default drive C directory. The machine is on the network and is setup to do a scheduled backup to the curriculum server before the main backup kicks in. This seems to work fine, in fact I have just restored the current Year 5 data that LEA emailed me today.

If you do it this way it is pretty easy. When we first installed it, I was liaising with a guy at Warwick Uni. and it was not good. We now have a good guy at our LEA which makes life easier as the admin staff who use PAT bother him rather than me.
