matt40k Posted January 18, 2012 Posted January 18, 2012 What like a CTF What you trying to bulk import specificy?
matt40k Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 ATF from the LA if they manage admissions, then CTF's from the feeder primary school. 1
CyberNerd Posted January 19, 2012 Author Posted January 19, 2012 ATF from the LA if they manage admissions, then CTF's from the feeder primary school. yes thanks. Just wanted to check.
ajp233 Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 is this possible in SIMS? I did write a routine a few years ago that created a CTF file from a csv file of student details so yes it is possible. Unfortunately I don't have it lying around anymore but I do recall it being relatively straightforward.
matt40k Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 I did write a routine a few years ago that created a CTF file from a csv file of student details Is this a joke? SIMS (and all MIS that I know of) has a routine to export from the MIS to CTF.
ajp233 Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 Not a joke matt40k. The routine was written because I was passed a csv file of student details and they needed inputting into SIMS. Converting the csv into CTF format and importing was the quickest option
matt40k Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 Yer, CTF seems a pretty nice format. Would go back to the school who sent you the CSV and ask for a CTF. Pretty sure it's a legal requirement to send a CTF within a specific time frame.
penfold_99 Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 new yr 6 students. County will send an ATF file via the schools2schools website. Are you looking for getting the new year 6 details in for transition days etc, before they start in year 7?

penfold_99 Posted January 21, 2012 Posted January 21, 2012 yes, but the ATF is sent too late for letters home.... I would keep the details out of sims and use the csv as a mail merge data source for word until the ATF turns up.
CyberNerd Posted January 22, 2012 Author Posted January 22, 2012 I would keep the details out of sims and use the csv as a mail merge data source for word until the ATF turns up. OK. thanks. Do you happen to know if the ATF and the data sent by LA are from the same source? i.e. why can't they send the ATF earlier if they already supply us the data of new students a month before?
