[sims] Documentation link & files

[NickDay85]

Hi,

 

Just done the autumn update with success, but I've noticed something interesting. The What's new PDF is for the Autumn 2013 release and all of the documentation in the Documentation folder is from 2013.

 

The button for documentation doesn't work either. Is this a common thing? Anyone know?

 

Cheers

Nick

Hi Nick,

 

We're having the same issue at the moment - our links point to the summer 2014 documentation which has been removed (Assuming you get the same issue as here, click on documentation and it appears okay, click on any links and it 404s)

 

Summer release 2015 documentation can be found here - Home , obviously not a fix but if someone needs to view it urgently can be used.

My issue is similar but not exact. The documentation button says that the index file is missing. But in my S drive I have a documentation folder full of PDFs from the Autumn 2013 release. I assumed they would get updated each release but it's not the case.

 

Thanks for the link for the summer release docs. Hopefully Capita will release the Autumn docs soon.

We have our documentation folder full of old PDFs - however we have our index file in there too! Albeit one pointing to the older documentation...

Any chance I can get a copy of that index file?

 

It'd be a start.

Hi Nick,

 

Sent you a drive link via PM. I know it's not a full fix, but I've just performed a find and replace on the html file, replacing 157982 with 525456 - all works through SIMS now as it should.

The documentation for SIMS moved to being online a long while back. You will always have some old remnants. There should be a single index file locally, and then the system should point online.

 

In your sims share, under sims\documentation there should be an index.html file so my link is this

file:///S:/SIMS/Documentation/Index.html

 

I'm not sure how it's configured, at some point it was a choice. You can still download the docs if required, but the idea is that it's no longer required to be downloaded to each machine as part of an update.

 

EDIT: weird, i just had a poke around and couldn't find anything. Have either of you written to the publications email to find out if it's even published...?
