    Thanks for that - it's exactly what I thought - it's a shame we can't do 'conduct' in discover, as it would be nice to split into pastoral groups etc. I've got the behaviour team using a report on each pupil and then using pivot tables and pivot charts , but as you said - it's a bit messy, compared to discover! Maybe it'll come in an update

    Does this have to be done through the admin utility?

    Hi I am trying to create a graph and then dynamic group within Sims discover for our behaviour team, they would to identify and pupils with a negative net conduct score, that is the score when you subtract the number of behaviour points from the number of achievements points. I can obvioulsy create a graph of the pupils with a certain amount of behaviours, or achievements, however if I create a dynamic group for for instance the group of pupils with 51+ behaviour concerns this group will only ever increase as no pupil will lose concerns! Please help Thanks

    Thanks for that - i thought i'd been through them all, but finally found it under Reports - Lesson Monitor - Students with selected codes - Periods with chosen codes. then take from the webpage into excel, only slight annoyance is only listing pupils names once which confuses the pivot table, unless i manually copy the names into each row. But i can work with this, thanks

    Sadly we're not linking P1 into AM reg, as we do with period 5, because we need form tutors to have the ability to take registers during form period, and this is done as AM reg. this is solved in the future by adding the form time as a lesson, but I'm told this would be too much at the moment so I'm trying to work around!

    Hi I am trying to create a report using Sims.net to list all the pupils who were late for period 1 over a peirod of a week. We have a day structured period 1,period 2, then registration, then period 3, period 4 and period 5. This means the pupils late to school are listed as late for period 1, rather than the AM/PM mark which is taken during registration. I have created a report which lists all the pupils with late marks over a set time period (i'm using a week) and it will tell me the pupils with late marks (filtering) and which subject this was for, however I can't figure out how to add the period information to this, ideally I'd like to filter by period 1, however i can do this in Microsoft Excel after running the report. Is there anyone who can help me either create the report in a different way to achieve the same result, or how to add this element to my report. Thanks

    Hi I'm helping our attendance officer with a new report, although we know Sims produces many attendance reports itself - currently she is running a report for this week and manually typing it onto a sheet for every pupil to see a cumulative report per week. I am trying to design a report to do all the hard work, in a similar way as i do for conduct. I wish to display the attendance for a pupil over a date range, for example what there attendance was at end of week one, end of week two etc in separate columns. I can do this for conduct by selecting the achievements/behaviours and filtering by date. However when i have tried to do this for attendance it only gives me the current attendance - i cant filter by date. Is there a way to do this?

    Thanks for your replies - we've got the information on our system - in a mark sheet but he seems certain it was in Lesson Monitor - just as SEN info appears etc. How strange no one else knows about it.......

    We've had a new member of staff join us this September and he asked where the Reading ages and Learning styles column from lesson monitor was when he logged into his register. No one at our school knew it was possible to have this information visible and i cant find any documentation saying how i might add it. Is there anyone who can a) confirm it is possible b) help me out with something on where i can find the setup or how i add it Thanks

    I've got one we'rew using, but i'm not very happy with it, I'd love to be able to see what you've got setup to see if its more suitable for us?

    Hi thanks all,, adjusting my margins sorted the problem out, what a silly thing causing so much grief Cheers Ieua

    Sorry i dont know which SQL i'm using, but when i run a preview my report runs fine, and when I run the report - without the school badge image on the top it runs and merges correctly into the RTF, however when i add the image to the top of the template it fails.

    Hmmm.... i think it maybe the machine, although i've got 165GB free, so don't think i need to free much up, and also i've try running it on 3 machines - say issue! I dont really know how to run it on the server itself - is this possible/ simple to do?

    Hi When running a report I ran it perfectly, for a whole year group, creating a letter as RTF from sims behaviour data. However today I have added the school header to the template and it wont let me run - giving me the error System.OutOfMemoryException. Anyone know how I can get this to work - presumably my school logo has made the template too large a file to run, can i free up memory? Is it memory on my pc or on the server? Any help please Ieu

    As an option in the widget would be fantastic for subject leaders, maybe it'll come in the future......

    Thanks, I've been playing around and have created a report based on class and used a subject filter, fortunately nearly all incidences are recorded using the register so we're ok on that. Thanks for your help

    Hi We use sims to create group report on behaviour for all form groups, but i've been asked to do the same per subject - is this possible? Has anyone done this with as little manipulation (zero) as possible. I can create reports listing the behaviours/achievements with subjects, then use a pivot table to separate them into subjects, but its not as neat and involves quite a bit of time, compared to the form group ones which print very simply at the touch of a button each night. thanks

    Thats odd, i use it both in work and at home and it works perfectly, both on Windows 7 machines. I didnt have to install anything special. Have you contacted their support - they've been very helpful when i had some licensing issues.

    Great, just ran that in school and it works perfectly, i didn't realise i could add the date using the right click in that way. thanks, i'll be in touch about CommanReporter when things settle here. Thanks

    Thanks, that exactly what I want, I will try it again in the morning. Thanks for your help Ieu

    Thanks for that, I'll have a look at the article. Although at this stage I'm happy to enter the date for last week as Date is after, Date is between, but I cannot see how to put this in as a filter from the student report, with total achievements, or achievement (count). Am I missing something simple?

    Hi I'm trying to create a report that automatically generates a letter for all pupil who have 5 or more achievements in a particular week. I have no problem creating a report to generate a letter for any pupil with 5 or more achievements, but I cannot find a way to add in the date setting so that it only looks at praises from the past week. Has anyone got any idea how I can do this. I'd be happy using a ready made template if someone was kind enough to upload one. I hope someone can help Ieuan

    Thanks for that, what exactly does it control the permission to do? I've found the permission to 'edit a detention' or 'edit a detention type' But what does this mean? If they can't edit a detention - can they still add a pupil to the list - or is this classed as editing? I was going to try this, but our LEA has stopped up from changing permission, even though we can add different groups to a user, we cant change a user or groups permission. We are working on this, but wont bother if it doesnt work anyway.

    Hi I'm hoping this is an easy one for someone to solve. we have recently started using the detentions sections of the Sims.net behaviour management module, and we have a whole school Daily detention set up, and want staff to ONLY use this on the system. Staff have been shown how to add students etc, and asked not to create their own, but some are still creating their own detention for pupils instead of adding them to one that already exists. Is there a way to remove all teacher ability to create a new detention session, so that they can only add to a detention session? I cangt find anything in any documentation Thanks Ieuan

    Thanks both for your replies, Vikpaw, I saw the pre-loaded reports, but then only give me behaviour counts, which is what i've been using up until now. However when I add total points onto this it gives me the total behaviour points for the academic year, and the number of behaviours for the date period. thank you LosOjos I thought of doing it in a pivot table etc but I'm trying to keep it as simple as possible for staff, and was hopeful Sims would let me do this.
