MIS Doesn't Support Multiple Centres? Try Exam File Split

[Huxy]

Hi all,

 

I am having big issues with administering two centre numbers from one SIMS database. None of the links above work.

 

The only way we have managed to do this is by doing the following:

1. Enter pupils in the first site

2. Generate an entry file

3. Submit via A2C (have a multi centre licence)

4. Enter pupils for the second site

5. Change the centre number under EO to the second site

6. Generate an amendments file. Don't think you can generate another entries file for the second site. Use a small set of pupils just to get entries in to generate for the second site.

7. Amend the amendments file so it now becomes an entry file for the second site

8. Send the entry file for the second site via A2C

Both sites now have an entry file sent for each centre number.

9. After that we have to do all amendments file for the first centre first and then generate the file and send that off via A2C and then do all the amendments for the second site and send that off separately. Otherwise the file will contain a mixture of the both sites!

Does anybody else have a better workaround?

Any help would be appreciated.
