SIMS - Individual Register Report and missing marks

[mukz]

Hi Guys,

 

Does anyone else have the bug when you run this report whereby missing marks are not actually ignored.

 

Thanks

Yes, I notified them of this issue a couple of years ago but it still seems to be there.

We only have the issue this year.

 

This was a reply from their 2nd Line Analyst along with the attachment.

 

The report is not calculating missing marks, the report indicates that missing marks have been ignored. In this instance the report is giving you true figures to actual percentage attendance per lessons and periods. If you see my screen shot of test data below, this cleary calculates the marks enetered against each lesson and then gives a total percentage attendance. The missing marks have been ingnored indicates that the report is not calaculating the percentage attendance of missing lessons or periods and only calculating the actual attendance of present marks.

 

 

Am I being STUPID! or that does that not also look wrong to anyone else.

I mean its right if it the missing marks have been ignored was not there.

I agree with you. I've looked back and the issue I had was in the Percentage Attendance Report, where it said missing marks have been ignored, but were in fact counted as absent. I've tried it now and it's still doing this. SIMS said at the time that this is the way it was decided it should be, but continuing to say marks have been ignored is confusing. What would be nice is to have the option of one or the other. Edited September 27, 2016 by Jonsi
