Summary of Community Post: Question: A staff member is re-sitting their GCSE Maths and wants to know if they can be added to the Summer exam series with the current Year 11 students. They are unsure if the staff member should be added as an external student, and are concerned about potential conflicts since the school does not accept external students. Replies: User 1 clarified that it is possible to add the staff member to the exam series without registering them as an external student. They suggested checking the school’s internal policies for staff exam entries. User 2 recommended consulting the exams officer or the relevant department to ensure the staff member can be included in the exam series.

Summary of Community Post: Question: A new user to Bromcom is seeking help for an attendance officer who cannot see the attendance and behaviour tabs on a student’s details page. The user is unsure about the nature of the issue. Replies: A user explained that the issue is related to the menu visible when opening a student record. He suggested that the problem is likely due to permissions, which are crucial for an attendance officer. A Bromcom Champion, provided detailed solutions: Assign the Teacher role alongside the Attendance Officer role. Create a new role with the necessary permissions for attendance and behaviour, and assign it in addition to the Attendance Officer role. Modify the default Attendance Officer role to include the required permissions for attendance and behaviour access.

Summary of Community Post: Timetable in MCAS A community member asked if it’s possible to hide the allocated teacher on the timetable in Bromcom, so that parents can view the timetable without seeing the teacher assigned to each lesson. Timetable in MCAS A helpful community member pointed out that while there are controls in Config > MCAS > Timetable for customising what you see, there isn’t an option to hide the teacher’s name directly. However, they suggested an alternative: you can go to Reports > Curriculum > Timetable and export the timetable document to the DMS. This way, you can hide the teacher’s name or choose to show only the staff code. This practical advice adds another layer of useful information to the discussion, showcasing the community’s resourcefulness and encouraging others to explore these solutions further.
