[sims] 3-letter staff code - seeing what is taken

[coolhands]

[sIMS] OK I wrote this post but then found the solution so I will post it here for future reference. [One] can check in Personnel if you change status to All, search for 3 letter staff code and make sure it's never been used. However if you go to the Classroom Staff Details link on the right, when you enter the first 2 characters it displays the 3 letter codes in a box on the right of what's already been used ie is not available to choose. Anyway, I found it wasn't reliably giving me all the codes that have been used, even though I knew they had. In the pic I put in MB and there are 4 staff with MB_ that have been used but in the box it would only show me 2 of them.

 

I found it's not the Panel 3 Organisation (working pattern) that makes the difference. It is the Role(s) checkbox section that must be ticked. If all members of staff are ticked here, then they show up in the 'Existing code assignments' box. If they are not, then they don't.

 

Another job on the list....(to go back and give everyone a role, even leavers / cleaners etc)

Which system is this for as it will be different for each MIS?
