Next Gen: Conduct - I don't get it?

[kb2014]

Is anyone using Next Gen for conduct? I'm struggling to understand how this would work for behavior management. It doesn't write back to SIMS7 so any conduct event given to a student is given in isolation and nothing to do with his pupil record in SIMS. And no reporting? Or sending out alerts to parents or Heads of Year. Am I missing something? What is the point of it? How does it fit in with current practices?

 

We were hoping to remove (stop paying for) the Teacher App and push teachers to use Next Gen instead as it looks great for registers, but our teachers enter in good and bad notes in the Teacher App and can't do the same thing in Next Gen conduct. Should we be hanging on to the Teacher App for now?

I have been asked to look at Next Gen as its free, but it would be replacing Edulink which our staff quite like, infact most use it more than Sims itself. Id appreciate it if you could share your experience
