This is on the app

We have the trial set up and everything seems to be working as we'd hoped. We are having problems getting tablets to connect via our wifi though, did anyone find they needed to do anything extra to get tablets to connect via the app? We have the tablet and URLs whitelisted on meraki but it only displays a connection error message. When we look in smoothwall there is no log of it trying to connect. Any ideas?

Thanks for the replies, it all looks very positive. I'm impressed at the response times mentioned so far, it seems like they are keen to work with schools to produce exactly what is needed rather than leave us to make do. A question our office manager has just asked is what is the register taking functionality like? From an attendance p.o.v, is the write back immediate? From a cover p.o.v how do you manage allowing external supply staff to have access, if at all? Finally, how does it work for teachers who are also a parent at the school?

Hi, we are looking to set up a trial with ELO very soon. Everyone here seems to love the product, but I was wondering if there were any problems with it that anyone has encountered? How is the functionality of this product when compared with SMHW, ClassCharts, etc? How have people found rolling ELO out to staff/parents/students? Sorry for all of the questions, it just seems that for the price it's too good to be true!

I was in a similar position of not wanting anything in particular for a gift. I ended up diving with sharks (https://www.blueplanetaquarium.com/diving-with-sharks/shark-encounter-dive/) as it's something I've always wanted to do.

Have they been previously invited? I may be wrong but I think they would only appear in "Reinvite" if the emails have already been sent. We are just about to send our emails out, and when going through the steps, the email addresses appear in Manage Users > Invite > .. > Preview Invitations. As you have already mentioned, our emails are set to Primary and Main in Panel 4, and no further interaction was required for the emails to transfer across.

Glad it helped. The tables in annex A are really helpful in finding out the value of grades in some of the less mainstream quals, so no doubt it may come in helpful for you again in the future (I know it has for me!)

I just used the FFT 9-1 grades to convert to the L2P grades etc. Under the new system, the CamNat grades also have new points values. Using the table on page 31 of this document https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/583857/Progress_8_school_performance_measure_Jan_17.pdf, I used a lookup to convert the 9-1 grades to the corresponding CamNat grades.

Yes I've used them for probably around 5 years now. They were that good that when I got a job in a different school I insisted that we dumped Capita to go with them. Their staff are really friendly and go the extra mile to help.

We had this issue as the points didn't transfer to the new form group's homepage graph. The only way I could get around this was to set up a UDG for the form and set the conduct graphs to filter on this group instead of the reg group

Have you had a look at the homepage? Theres a section you can add to it called Missing Registers Notification. This updates throughout the day with a list of registers that haven't been taken. You can also send reminder messages to teachers to do their registers, though in my experience these are ignored until their inbox is full. Edited to add that I've just noticed this thread doesn't relate to SIMS..but I'll leave my reply here in case anyone else is unaware of the feature.

It's been a while since I've done this, but I think you need to refresh the basedata and there should be a tick box to select the levels you need/want.

Sure that's no problem, just send me your email and I'll get it sent to you later, I'm just tidying up the macro code I'm bit of a VBA novice

Hi David This is possible, though it took me some time to figure out how to do it using macros etc in a report. My report outputs a spreadsheet from SIMS with a list of each kid and the Bronze/Silver/... certificate each has earned to date in one tab, then in another tab has a smaller list of only the kids who are due to be given new certificates since the last time the report was run. If you drop me your email in PM I will send you a copy of the report I created for you to play about with. Cheers jon

Same here, had a few members of staff report that their data had disappeared, but I suspected that it may have just been an excuse for missing deadlines.
