Ooooooh I bet you're on the money there. PHP 5.6 anyone? 😂

Smells like a very manual way of them having deployed their infrastructure for this length of an outage. I'm sure if they'd used up to date automation for deployment their infrastructure would have been patched and active again ages ago.

Not really, we have a timetable that is split between KS3 and KS4 and that was difficult enough to get working It is doable, but it is a little messy. How different is the TT for your AP vs the normal school? This is how our period structure ended up looking (our TT was made in NT6 and then pulled in to Bromcom) and is slightly more convuluted than it may otherwise have been owing to some of the information our timetabler was given by the NT6 team not quite being compatible with the way Bromcom works (a timetable is in chronological order, and must run sequentially)

Seems to be slow on/off, reporting is deffo a bit slower than usual. I'm guessing it's where their systems are scaling back up now demand is back to peak?

Morning all Anyone with reports of slow downs with Bromcom this morning (now - 09:27) or is it just us? Would help before I go whinging Cheers

Yeah but I did hide it thanks to ESS... drop me a pm

Oh man. She is our SLT lead for it, I might give Bromcom a call in a bit because it's now got to be a decision between trying to wrangle this in to NT6 or do it in wT now. This wasn't on our radar when we booked our migration or we'd have mitigated the risks already

Option 2 seems like the best fit for us too but reading between the lines here it seems like that model in NT6 is going to need work to split it in to three from the current two? Thanks John this is what we're trying to get our head around, I think if we were on wT it may be easier? But we're trying to do this from NT6 (at the moment) We need some solid guidance here on what to do... I'm hoping our timetabler isn't going to get a heart attack...

Morning all We've put a ticket in with Bromcom but if anybody here has some advice for us it would be appreciated, we have not long come across to Bromcom from SIMS (start of June) and we've got an unexpected change that we need to implement - we're going from a fairly standard timetable to one that is split between KS3/KS4. Now I'm sure this is the case for a few schools... our timetable has been completed in NT6 (we're licensed until towards the end of the year, and it's what our timetabler knows at this point) but what type of period structure would we need to do, to accommodate it? Nova support advised us to do split periods/lunches, which we've done, but they overlap so I don't know how this can be put in to Bromcom?! Like I say we have a ticket open too but you can't beat community knowledge Thanks! Couple of screenshots attached..

The other schools in my trust are getting stuffed around by this, I am so glad we moved across to Bromcom at the start of June. Can anybody advise on the steps to disable the redirections? I can't find the place for the other schools!

Ahhh we're M365 or I would do this, I don't think we have scripting like that available in M365 for this type of use case.

Morning all Those on Bromcom, what are you doing for outbound email? The SMTP free limit is probably plentiful for a smaller primary school but we could blow through that with a few whole school emails. Are you paying the Bromcom rates or have you gone for another service like Amazon SES or Sendgrid etc? Just finding out what people are doing so I know the best route to look in to. Cheers

We're on Medical Tracker... seems to do the job. No paper stuff. Use your MIS if you can!

I sourced mine directly from Unifi - at the moment I've not managed to trigger the test one in the office with vaping (I tried - I hate it - I will need to get somebody else to test it) We did spray some body spray in the area of it though, no vape alarm but the other readings went waaaay high to show how crap it makes the air
