[sims] Sims Linked docs - updating

[Simcfc73]

Hi,

 

Does anyone know if there is a way to mass change the linked docs in SIMS. As we are moving to Edulink we want to tidy them up... change catagories.. convert docs to pdfs etc... but its a long and laborious job.

 

Not hopeful.

I have done this. First thing, use RecordLink export to extract and rename all linked docs. Although the processing will take a while if it's a large extraction setting it up to run takes only a minute. Once that has run, the documents have sensible filenames (concatenated from the meta data). The documents for each student are in a named folder per pupil on a network drive.

 

On the conversion to pdf issue - why do you need it ?
