Keeping Legacy SIMS Data - Can anyone share any report templates?

[Warwick_Tech]

Hi All,

 

I have been given the non-enviable task of exporting *cough* "everything" out of SIMS in preparation for maintaining accurate records, server outages etc.

 

This is a big ask, but does anyone have any report templates I can use? Realistically I'm sure they only want Exams data, proof of employment, proof of attendance etc. for FOI requests so these would be fantastic if we could somehow pull them into a CSV or similar.

 

If not, how on Earth can we get hold of this data without a giant 'report export'?

The easiest way (not particularly shortest) is mass run PDO reports for everyone as that should include all data under the GDPR export

 

Bearing in mind it only would need to be done for the sub section of staff/students that’s fall outside the MIS migration work (eg 7 years for Bromcom) and the GDPR cut-off of not holding leavers data anymore

Thanks Steve,

 

That sounds like the best way - Call me dense; how do we do this? 😀

You need a user with the DPO role enabled (normal sysadmin isn’t high enough) then there’s a a new report under
