Sims and Locker

[_techie_]

Hi.

 

We are using Locker in anger this year for our new Y7 intake, and everything looks good in terms of SIMS:-

New Y7 students are 'current' in Sims and have a valid admission date of today. These 170+ students are not coming across into AD using Locker however.

 

Oddly we have some new Y7 intake that are 'Future' status in SIMS, yet they were created today for us.

 

We did follow the locker YouTube vid to deal with pre-admissions (they released over the summer holidays) so I'm wondering if accidentally we have banjaxed Locker from working as expected...

 

Any ideas? We have run, and re-run the tool manually today with no joy.

 

Or are we missing something in SIMS that's not picking them up or that I can check with our data manager?

I would honestly open a ticket with Locker, I've always found them really helpful and quick -

We thought that our Y7 accounts were not being created but turned out they were being created in the wrong intake year.

 

There is a setting in Locker to set the start year and leaving year for Year 7’s. We had not updated this.

 

The other issue that this caused is that Locker wrote the incorrect email addresses back in to SIMS and had to be manually removed.

Thanks both... We had some exceptions in our student emails section, which was stopping the emails being written back to SIMS. We uncovered this from our logs. All good now.
