Yes, we use SIMS together with Firefly. Works well as parent portal, publishing reports, behaviour, attendance from SIMS.

That’s good to know, maybe some of you have had the same issue as us

 

 

You see for some reason our time table is showing as having conflicts however our data manager as confirmed that all is ok and there is nothing wrong on our end

 

Just wondering if anyone else has had any issues of this kind or anything similar

firefly with isams here. The only issue we have is with "interesting family trees". isams will let you have various family/pupil links for parents, carers, pupils and these do not always migrate over to firefly for parent logins.

Yep Sims with Ffly here as well

Can I resurrect this thread with a different quesiton about how well FireFly works integrated with iSAMS? We're considering using as our one-stop-shop parent portal and I'd be grateful to hear about what it does and doesn't do well.

 

Thanks in advance.
