[sims] SIMS Spring Release 2020 missing Predefined_Reports_v7192.RptDef file?

[kennysarmy]

I've just done our SIMS Server upgrade.

 

LEA instructions say:

 

Importing SIMS Reports

 

Included in every release of SIMS are an updated set of Predefined reports.

To ensure your system has the latest reports available, it is essential to import the reports following the steps below.

 

1. Open SIMS

 

2. Click on Reports | Import

 

3. Click on the Open/browse button and locate the SIMS installation path (typically C:\Program Files (x86)\SIMS\SIMS .net)

 

4. Highlight Predefined_Reports_v7192.RptDef and click on Open

 

5. Click on Import

 

 

But the fie is not there?

 

Any ideas?

 

Cheers

This was in the CSM email sent out from Capita at the end of Feb for us:

 

Spring 2020 Release - Pre-Defined Reports

 

We wanted to share some information regarding Pre-Defined reports in advance of the SIMS Spring 2020 release, due later in March. Each release a file is included as part of the release which updates the embedded reports within SIMS. We wanted to make you aware that there are no changes to the SIMS predefined reports for Spring 2020 release, meaning the most recent report definition file will remain PreDefined_Reports_v7190.RptDef. This file was delivered as part of the SIMS 2019 Autumn Release last term.

 

What does this mean for you?

If you do not usually manage your upgrade please forward this information to the relevant person.

 

For those of you who do carry out the SIMS upgrade:

 

If you have the import of the latest Report Definition file process set to run automatically following an upgrade you will need to review this process for this release.

If you manually import the file after each release you do not need to take any further action.

If you did not import this file in Autumn 2019, you can still do so. Instructions are provided below.

 

 

To import the file

 

From within SIMS select Reports | Import

Navigate to and select PreDefined_Reports_v7190.RptDef (typically found in C:\Program Files (x86)\SIMS\SIMS .net).

Once imported, the reports are available to all users with the appropriate permissions.

Thanks.

 

I also just had this back from our LEA

 

Hi,

 

The worksheet incorrectly advises to import a new set of reports when in fact there are no new reports with the latest Spring Upgrade.

 

Please accept our apologies for this error.

 

Kind regards,
