You may need to revert back to a 1 week cycle, then on the Cycle menu simply choose 'Create Week Two', choose your preferred way of labelling lessons in each week ie 1 and 2 or A and B.

In Nova follow route Data | Refresh Base Data from SQL. Enter your SIMS username and password and the Refresh Base Data wizard will start up. Tick the Levels box and follow the wizard through selecting whatever levels are required. -
KB58066 Nova -T6 Assigning a teacher to two classes in the same block at the same time Affected Products: NOVA-T6 KB58066 Nova -T6 Assigning a teacher to two classes in the same block at the same time KBA-08078-T0D0X7 Notes Timetabling sixth form classes One teacher to take two classes Two classes for one teacher at the same time. How to create a clash for a teacher within a block. A vertical block will not build because the same teacher is teaching more than one class. On the classes screen, the when the same teacher is assigned to 2 classes within the same vertical block - the code appears red as a warning Please see KB70866 for details on how to create a clash for classes from different blocks Workaround There are 2 alternatives: 1. Use Minimum Periods In the Model screen, Increase the minimum periods of, for example, a 5 period block, to 6 periods. Do this by right clicking on the block and choosing Minimum Periods. In the block screen drag all but one of the classes on to fit in with the sessions 1 to 5. Schedule these 5 sessions. Then take the other class which has the same teacher allocated and drag it onto session 6. Go to bands screen and you can see the 5 sessions which have been scheduled. The 6th session is not scheduled and contains the 2nd class with the same teacher. On band screen click and drag this class onto the period where the other class has been scheduled. It will then come up with a displace unit window. Place a tick in the lock/clash and this will then lock the clash in place. 2. Place the teacher on the timetable afterwards In classes, put the teacher on one class with the correct number of periods. Put the same teacher on the second class with 0 periods. (Right click on the teacher code on the Classes screen to reduce the period number). This means the block can be built and scheduled, but one class will be without a teacher on the timetable. It may be necessary before building the block to check the Sessions screen, where the class with the teacher for 0 periods should appear with the teacher showing 0 in the Plan and Used columns under Attributes and should not appear in the Sessions area on the right (right click to remove the teacher from here if necessary). After scheduling, you can go to Timetable | New | Department (or another convenient timetable display), right click the class and choose Add Staff - filter for all teachers and find the appropriate teacher, when this teacher is selected, you will be offered the option to 'double up'. Rooming To room the two classes, use a timetable display. Right click the Room Code and choose Add Room. To add the same room to the second class, use the Add Room function again, search using the radio button on 'All' and choose the option to Double Up when the room is selected.

You need to apply Patch 13433 - this will re-activate the AMPARK import trigger.

[sims] Is extracting the timetable from SIMS.net to Nova 6 possible?
Ron_Bate replied to ChrisH's topic in MIS Systems
See KB 18388 - extract below: It is also possible in Nova-T6 to recover the backup from the Document Management Server: Use Load | Load New Dataset | Create Construction Dataset | Enter the date details and click Next, choose SQL dataset. -
Using the top radio button you can select the exact patch file you require.
-
Have you unzipped the patch file (once) so that you can see the patch.xml and the .signature file? If so then use the top radio button on DBUpgrade to point to the unzipped patch file.

[sims] [Lesson Monitor] Lesson to session mark copying
Ron_Bate replied to FishCustard's topic in MIS Systems
You need to have a look at the Earliest Mark area in Lesson Monitor - route Tools | Setups | Lesson Monitor Options | Earliest Mark -
It's a client workstation problem so only do this on any PC to be used for the SWC not on the server. The path should have been C:\Pr Files\Sims\Sims .net in my first reply.
-
Find the WorkForceReturnSettings.xml file in C:\Sims\Sims .net and rename it .old Run S:\Sims\Setups\SIMSApplicationSetup.exe and it will put a new copy of the above file in the folder to resolve the issue.

Is your SIMS really on 7.114? The current version is 7.152 or 7.153!

[sims] Profiles Mailmerge showing tags, not data - MS Office 2010
Ron_Bate replied to bwfc_nottingham's topic in MIS Systems
Profiles uses different templates to Individual reports but it is still a mail merge process and hence the problems with tags showing instead of data etc are the same. -
