Are you able to run a Data Export for a Subject Access Request etc. in SIMS still or is it totally locked down at the end of the contract? I was under the impression that we would still be able to do this post contract but based upon the email (as OP stated) we received today, it sounds like this isn't going to now be possible.

Does anyone have any recommendations for SMS provider for use within EduLink One? Also, has anyone found any issues with the messaging functionality?

Has anyone had this yet?! I was told it was released to all SOLUS 2 and 3 schools earlier, but I'm still waiting to be able to download it?! When will I learn to not apply any SIMS.net updates until about 1 month after they've been released?

In your SIMS.net setups folder you'll find the NovaSatelliteSettup.exe. Run this on your standalone PC. It will install files to C:\Program Files\SIMS\SATS Once install has finished go to this location and you will find a NOVA folder. In here is the NovaT6Setup. Run this...

Hello, Version 6.24 Build 17 here too.

Not sure if this has been posted before....

Hi guys, Thanks for all the advice, I've booked a meeting with my line manager so that everything can be clarified. That way I can find out exactly what they are wanting and have my say! Fortunately my new line manager (one of the Vice Principals) is very supportive so we'll see how that goes! Many thanks! Toby

At present I am just a humble Data Manager no where near SLT or their pay scales! We got turned into an Academy last September as we were a failing school. From a brief conversation it seems they are just wanting someone on the staff who is making sure we are complying with all data laws etc in how we store, manage and distribute data. Sorry I can't be any more help than that, but the people above don't really know what they want as well.

That's a good question... and my answer to that is I don't know. All I've been told is that I will be the Data Protection lead in the school and I need to find a course... I expect Data Security, Information Standards, the legal side of things and the Freedom of Information/Data Protection Acts will probably be the first areas I would look at but I'm hoping someone does (I'm guessing this will be a long shot) a general course suited for educational facilities etc.! Many thanks!

Hi! I've been told I have to find a Data Protection Course to go on and was wondering if anyone could suggest one or any training companies that would be able to help (ideally a course which is certificated or will give me something to go on my CV!) Many thanks!

Very strange as I didn't have to do any of that... Are you using Excel 2010?

I changed your column B (Code) to numbers by highlighting the column, right click Format Cells and in the Category list selected Number. I then used the vlookup formula I included in the spreadsheet. You use FALSE when you want vlookup to find only an exact match, TRUE finds an exact or approximate match. hope that helps!

Try this... You need to make sure your code column is numbers/text. By adding the $ in front of the table_array will fix the table so when you copy/paste or drag down the list it will stay the same. Hope it helps. Client Codes.xlsx
