Good morning, does anyone have any knowledge of registering post 16 T Levels on Arbor at all? We have an error on our census and it is the first year of us running them and are struggling to resolve the error.

That is brilliant thanks so much for taking the time to help! Will give it a go and see how I get on

Hi there When importing the ATF for our new year 7 students, it is showing the error below. Unexpected Error: The INSERT statement conflicted with the CHECK constraint "chk_adm_application_free_school_meals_history_start_date". The conflict occurred in database "Netherhall_Learning_Campus_High_3824009", table "sims.adm_application_free_school_meals_history". The statement has been terminated I have looked at other threads and worked out I need to remove the FSM history. Please could anyone help me with a step by step guide how I do this I have tried copying it on to word pad but can't establish what I do next or how I save it to then try and import it! Our previous IT manager was a whizz with these sorts of errors and xml files and used to sort them for me, now he has retired I am ashamed to say I am stuck! I appreciate it is probably a straightforward task to someone in the know - please share your expertise. ESS say it is an issue the LA need to sort but they are directing me back to ESS. I wasn't sure if I was able to just import it as a CTF instead as I can also download that too? Thanks for your help. Katy

We have recently extended the school day. Within classroom staff details - organisation on SIMS there are the times of the day. Is it possible to change this centrally or does it have to be done manually for each member of staff as it affecting our cover arrangements. Thankyou

Hi @Mils If you go to Applications and then to Exports it should come up as an option at the bottom - ATF Learner Export :-)

That's brilliant thanks so much for your help I really appreciate that - I will give it a go and see how I get on. This could save me hours of work of manually inputting applicants on to SIMS that never actually end up coming! eProspectus have also been in touch to advise it is still in testing stage at their end and have also been really helpful. Love this site though - have found so many answers to both little queries and bigger issues I have needed help with. Some excellent knowledge on here!

Hi there We are a post 16 school, our prospective external Year 12 students apply via a site called eProspectus. eProspectus have now have the option to download an ATF , we have previously had to input each application to SIMS manually so this is amazing news. I have managed to download the ATF from eProspectus, but when I try to upload to SIMS via the ATF wizard I get the attached error. I have contacted SIMS helpdesk and they advised the following :[TABLE=class: cms_table, width: 100%] [TR] [TD]Workaround[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]The current ATF version is 19.0 and defined by the DfE. They will update the specifications each year for ADT and ASL files, and then update the specifications for ATF files. Version 18.0 can still be used for imports into Sims.net. If you require further information regarding ATF files and their versions then please contact the DfE. If you believe that an ATF file you received has an incorrect version then please ask the supplier to correct this and provide a new file. [/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] However I can't get any help from eProspectus at the moment about how to correctly generate the ATF from their site. Is there a way to manually amend the ATF so that it will import into SIMS that anyone could help with at all? Thanks Katy
