[sims] Pupil EMail Help

[garethEds]

Good afternoon All,

 

Two questions for SIMS experts. I have bulk imported Year 9 email addresses using a CSV. They have all gone in as expected. HOWEVER, I now need to change them to me Main and Primary. However it seems I cannot to a bulk update of that. I've changed the settings when I re-import but it all fails and tells me the data has already been imported into SIMS.

 

So - any idea how to bulk update?

 

Or failing that - how to bulk update a group of email addresses to I can totally start again.

 

Many thanks

I've yet to find a way to bulk remove e-mail addresses, so I've had to go through a few thousand records over our MAT deleting old ones.

Easy enough to reimport via the built in CSV import routine now without a third party app

HI @Boredguy - I feared as much. I just didn't want to go through 200 deleting them all. Guess that is what I will have to do.

200 only takes about 20 minutes. If your SIMS has the same slow bug when saving records, have 2 workstations open at once, start 1 at the top of the list, start the other at the bottom, and as 1 is saving, make the change to another student on the other, and switch back and forth.

All sorted now. I manually deleted each one and re-imported them in.
