Please can you share what signing in/out systems you use for fire safety for Sixth Form. We had Inventry which was very expensive for what it is and 2/3 years ago moved to Sign In App. Now despite the students having access to an app on their phone and an iPad with the TAP (Mifare) attachment, we regularly have 60 or so students not signing in. Our head of Sixth form blames the software, it's very poor he says and too slow and that other sixth forms have better. hmmm

Is anyone else frustrated with the new tables in Arbor or is it just me? Ok they might offer more functionality. but they look rubbish and are too big even with the table spacing reduced to XS.

With all the hype of NFTs at the moment and the transaction fees on ethereum being over £30 - £50 a shot, ethereum layer-two solutions are worth a gamble on right now - Polygon (MATIC) and Loopring (LRC) are solutions that reduce fees to pennies

My school is in the process of moving to Arbor and we haven't completed a DPIA either. Since we are doing nothing new with processing the personal data we have, and solely moving what we have from one system to another, would it require one? I'd just assumed we'd update our privacy statement.

Not sure if this is the right place to ask but anyways... So we never had any of our teachers/slt remote into school, no real need since they accessed SIMS via PARS (web based) and we store files in O365 sharepoint. But since lockdown all of a sudden they want remote access. So without the right tools or budget I quickly implemented a solution where using our Sophos XG they VPN in and locked down to a specific VLAN for security and once authenticated and connected I had them remote desktop to their physical workstations. This worked well, but the machines had to be powered on during the day, no real concerns there. Since though we've fired up an old server and added an SSD and some more RAM and created some Win 10 VMs to HYper V. But I'm not sure where I stand on this with regards to RDS Cals, do we need them ? We just have a standard OVM and hyper V is licenced based on the number of CPU cores and not the number of VMs..

We're heavily invested in MS & O365, it's not gonna happen, plus we'd still need the desktop licences which is the biggest cost.

Just had renewal quote for OVS, our 3 year pricing has expired and the quote has almost doubled what we paid last year. Can anyone share suppliers where I can get quotes from to compare... thanks

done...

fixed. In hapconfig.xml added allowance="0" at the end of each

We have room booking system up and running on 10.6 and it all works fine except that we cannot book a room on the day. No error message appears but in the HTML we see "static admin booked" and "static admin expired". Does anyone else have this problem or any way to fix?
