Robmal, do you know how to define the timings of the AM and PM registers? Not too vital but I'd like to know how it is creating the AM timing of 8.43 - 9.05 given that 8.43 appears nowhere in out timetable in nova or SIMS!

Solved. He did in fact mean LESSON MONITOR setup rather than ATTENDANCE. It's just I didn't have lesson monitor setup permissions. As soon as IT gave me god-mode I could access the proper settings and solution 1 worked. The actual timings of the registrations are still a bit odd (14.08 - 14.30 for example for the afternoon??!) but at least they are at roughly the right time and make our ribbons look sensible and in place now.

Well I have an issue in that I have nothing in the TOOLS, SETUP, ATTENDANCE SETUP, MODULE SETUP... there are no actual options to change leading to me think I have no permissions to access this part of SIMS (yet)... need to take a trip down to IT to get them to give me god-mode. Anyway, while I get my settings changed I also had a reply from a guy at capita who trained me on nova and timetabling if this helps you robmal: Hi, The times of registration periods AM and PM are dictated by the software to a set of rules that are somewhat obscure. There are two places I would check your setup. 1, Tools | Setup | lesson monitor. It sounds as if you have not completed the parameters for this so that the software knows which periods are morning and afternoon. You will also need to put in the A in the lesson after morning registration and a P in the relevant period. This should solve the issue. If it does not you may need to 2, Apply the timetable again in the academic setup menu. If neath of these options fixes the issue please advise and I will escalate the issue to our helpdesk. Kind Regards Assuming he means ATTENDANCE setup rather than LESSON MONITOR setup (because I don't have that at all), again this doesn't help me yet because I've got no settings visible to change in ATTENDANCE setup anyway. Option 2 looks a bit severe for me to do without the IT guys' permission. Anyway, off to IT office.

Hi all, I'm hoping this is an absurdly easy fix that I'm just missing. Our academic structure is all set up and lessons appear in teachers' ribbons (due to lesson monitor). However, our AM and PM tutor registrations for some reason are erroneously long (AM is 9.00 - 12.30 and PM is 14.00 - 16.00). These AM and PM registrations are covering up our academic lesson registrations in everyone's ribbons because they're so long. I can't seem to find the setting anywhere which dictates the timings of the AM and PM registrations to make them correct... can anyone point me to where it is?! Thanks

SIMS only gives the option of forming an HTML file though doesn't it?

I'm publishing HTML files of our cover daily. However, the HTML being produced is pretty ugly and unprofessional. I can edit the HTML file that gets produced in Dreamweaver to make a good looking cover HTML but then everytime I add new cover and update the HTML by pressing 'HTML' in SIMS, the HTML file reverts back to the original ugly version which it is clearly getting from a template somewhere. Does anyone know where the cover HTML template is stored so that I can reformat it?
