[sims] Quick question - Lesson Monitor

[Edu-IT]

Quick question.

 

Is there still such a thing as Lesson Monitor or has this now all been integrated into Focus > Attendance > Take Register?

Think I answered my own question here.

Yeah, well it's confusing, because if you have LM, the menu routes change. So it would be Focus | Lesson Monitor | Take Register but they are different in that LM lets you register each lesson not just the am/pm sessions.

The route for reports will also change if you take on LM, are you about to go down that route?

Okay now I'm even more confused! So Lesson Monitor is still a separate module?

It is separate. I don't like the fact that its an extra but its a position we have been forced into. Edited April 30, 2012 by PhilNeal

Is there somewhere to enable this or will it always show if it's licensed? I'm under the illusion we're licensed for it but I don't see the LM option so not sure either way. Is it because we perhaps don't have registration by period turned on?

[PhilNeal]

Edu-IT If you email [email protected] she will be able to let you know what the licencing position is.

I think of it as an extra module in the sense you have to opt-in and buy it, but it functions like a replacement for the built-in attendance area.

The extra reports are very good.

Can you access the SQL Server?

 

use sims
select * from sims.db_update_log
where patch_id = 10352

 

That was the activator. Otherwise, drop the where clause and check the description field for Lesson Monitor in code or manually, I've only got 164 total on my system.
