[integris] Does an RM Integris Export/Import feature exist?

[Mojo21]

Hi All

 

I'm new to RM Integris and struggling to get my point across to RM support, so I wondered if anybody could answer me this query.

 

When it comes to the primary side of things, is there a facility/function where you can export say termly summative assessments and/or test scores into a spreadsheet or doc, allow staff to add their assessments/scores and then import this doc back in to update the MIS?

 

Where in the system would you go to do this export and then subsequent import?

 

Thanks

I don't think there is - I think it all has to be done directly into the MIS. We used to use it and it was inputted by a member of the office staff from spreadsheets supplied by teachers.

Hi Oaktech,

 

Thanks for replying. This is soooo disappointing. I've been able to do this with SIMS and Arbor in the past. Just thought this sort of thing was the norm these days.

 

Thanks Mojo

Sorry to be the bearer of bad new!

 

Integris is 'baby's first' MIS. It's missing so many 'standard' features it's like working with an arm tied behind your back. They also make it incredibly difficult to get data out of the MIS other than statutory returns.

 

We moved away from it to Bromcom, which, don't get me wrong, has it's own issues and challenges but it can do everything in it's own roundabout way.

You can create your own assessment Markbooks to record things such as termly summative assessments and there are also export and import functions in place. Although I am not sure why you would need to export/import when the teachers could enter directly onto Markbooks.

Hi Hugh

 

Staff just feel comfortable entering into spreadsheets and then passing to us to put in.

 

Can you not export / import the existing markbooks?

 

What would be the walkthrough / steps to do this export / import??

 

Thanks

Hi Mojo

Just open the Markbook and go to Tools option top right of the markbook. Use the Export from there and you should find that the Import will take the file that you have just generated easily. Just make sure that the format is not changed if you edit the file.
