Thanks Vik, I'll have a play around at school tomorrow. I'll let you know how I get on. If I need a look at your aspects and templates I'll let you know tomorrow. Thanks you've been very helpful. Tom

Thanks for your replies. I joined Capita's support site this morning but it takes 24-48 hours to be approved. So I'll have a look on there once I've been accepted. I've downloaded an AM7 instruction manual from doncaster.gov.uk which loks very useful, however it takes for granted that you have templates to work from. This is my issue I think. I'll try to download some templates off Capita's support site once my registration is confirmed but how do you make your own template? Is it as simple as setting up an excel spreadsheet with the column headings that you want and saving it as am xml file? Thanks Thanks.

Hi, I have been asked to set up Assessment Manager 7 for my primary school. Previously the school has used paper methods of tracking and recording assessment data. So I have been entrusted with the job of modernising the way we record the data. You'll have to forgive my lack of knowledge about assessment manager however I think I need to know how to do the following things. Firstly, I need to either create or download a 'pack' of basic templates as there are no templates installed on SIMS under the assessment manager tool. I then need to install them onto AM7. Secondly I need to create a mark sheet for each class. I'm guessing that this should be quite straight forward as the pupil data should be extracted from SIMS automatically. Like I said I am only guessing at the jobs I need to do to set up AM in order to input data for monitoring and tracking. Any advice on how to go about setting up AM would be very welcome. Thanks in advance.
