uploading GL data to SIMS

[johnny_S]

Hi everyone, not sure if i'm posting something that's been asked before (have searched!) but i'm trying to upload my GL (progress tests and CAT4 data) into SIMS.

I've followed procedure in terms of upload but then can't seem to view any results. I've created the template but it's not being populated with the data.

Does anyone have a link to 'how to for thickies'??

thanks in advance

Do you have the data in spreadsheets? or is it a transfer file?

Hi, i'm trying to upload from spreadsheets and have tried both xml and csv.

 

Grade sets linked to (stanines and SAS data) and aspects have been created but when i go through the upload process and match up the columns - r/click to define columns etc all seems ok but the marksheet doesn't populate.

The most likely reason will be if the data in the spreadsheet mismatches the gradeset set up in SIMS, even if there is a slight difference the data won't come through, one way to double check this would be to export the marksheet to excel and copy the data across and import the marksheet, it should tell you on the activity log if there are any issues. The only other thing I can think of is if the resultsets on the marksheet don't match the settings on the import.
