Writing Behaviour Data to SIMS

[ridleyrumpus]

Is it possible to write behaviour incident details to SIMs?

 

If so, how?

Hi Ridleyrumpus,

 

Access one of the pupils involved and add through the focus panel that appears on the right under behaviour management.

 

Or if multiple pupils involved:

 

Select Focus then Behaviour Management. Then click Maintain Behaviour Incidents to display the Find Behaviour Incident browser. Click New.

 

PM me for more info if you need it.

Ahh I think that I have not explained myself properly.

 

What I was wondering is it possible for an external program to write behaviour information to the SIMs database? Or even have it imported from a .csv file for instance?

Hi Ridley,

 

It depends what external software you are using. Most of the big external companies that link with SIMS have the ability. With a little tweaking it is possible to import using CSV back into SIMS.

Could you point me to any information on how to do this?

I don't think there is a user interface to do this, so you would need to use the partner tools.

 

You would either have to register as a partner with Capita to gain access and support to do this, or if you were a school working on your own system sign a bunch of non disclosures / disclaimers.

 

@David_Grashoff is the best person to speak to.

Will double check tomorrow with an old colleague, but with assessment you can import back in. With the incidents reporting, as long as the columns in the csv match up, it theoretically should be possible. I would raise a ticket on SIMS Support and see if one of the tech's can help.

 

A number of software companies are now partnered with SIMS for behaviour points etc - Class Charts links in with SIMS for example.
