[sims] SIMS.net, profiles and refreshing mistakes

[Problem_Solving]

Hi there,

 

So I'm using SIMS, and at the moment, the comment banks and profiles are going quite well, until we wanted to change a few things around in most subjects, so we've changed them in the comment banks, but because every teacher has selected the comments already, the problem is that I'm having to go through each subject and refresh each pupil one by one to fix the mistakes and to update the changes, I've noticed generating does not refresh them either, so, is there an easier way to refresh the pupils comments or is it a manual task where I have to go through each subject, and through each individual pupil into each sub-section and refresh them all? Because that sounds awful.

You shouldn't make changes to the comment banks once teachers have started entering selections because SIMS records the selections as Subject, section number, comment number. So if you change the order or number of the comments, then what you get in the end could be different from what the teachers selected. Your trainer should have gone through all that when you were taught how to use the module.

As it was never designed for a mid selection change for comment bank there are no facilities to accommodate it. To be safe I'd make the current session inactive and start a new one for teachers to enter their data now you have made changes otherwise you will get some very unpredictable results.
