Try ticking Calculate on Data Entry within the marksheet Template.

We've stuck with one profile on SIMS. Edulink then creates an employee username and a separate parent username, all linked to the same primary email address. They can easily switch between both on the login page. The only negative is that parental communication goes to their work email address, but it doesn't seem to be an issue here.

Within SIMS, if you choose Add Member instead of Add Student, you should see at least some of the filters you want in the Group Type drop-down. You'll probably have to create the others manually. I don't believe these group filters are available in Edulink, but once the groups are created in SIMS, they're easily added.

Within the Aspect, change Type to Marks-Integer and select a minimum and maximum value.

If you want to delete them off the system, then Focus > Admission > Application > Search > Select Student > Delete.

Might it be better considering putting all the progress reviews onto one template rather than separate ones? That is what we do. It's much easier for staff to see past data and progress and are able to copy and paste data. If you remove the subject name from the aspect Column Heading in the template or use the Heading Substitution facility, you will easily be able to use the substitute aspects facility to clone across subjects or the replace result sets facility to clone across years.

Difficult to know exactly what you mean, but have you checked the Page Breaks in Outline View? Remember to use the Open/Close Report Section tags in order to pull through their relevant subjects.

I've set it up similar to your 2nd example. I prefer my aspects to have a specific meaning and not dependant on a result set to define them. It also gives you more flexibility to have different grade sets for the various aspects - never mix different types of grade in a grade set. My result sets therefore are generally just a snapshot in time, but there are exceptions. Taking time to set up categories will help a great deal to filter the aspects, e.g. KS4 and Predicted. I haven't properly used the custom tracking grids however so I'm not sure of the best setup for those.

I agree with you. I've looked back and the issue I had was in the Percentage Attendance Report, where it said missing marks have been ignored, but were in fact counted as absent. I've tried it now and it's still doing this. SIMS said at the time that this is the way it was decided it should be, but continuing to say marks have been ignored is confusing. What would be nice is to have the option of one or the other.

Yes, I notified them of this issue a couple of years ago but it still seems to be there.

Do you want the numbers 1-4 to show with a coloured background in a table? If you have the result links on the template and have ticked the 'Print Report with Colour' in the Individual Report Details, then it should work.

Glad to help! In case you didn't know, you only need to use the Open/Close Report Sections if there are pages in the template that might not be relevant to every pupil and without any data e.g. GCSE optional subjects. Otherwise, just correctly placing the page breaks is enough.

I see. I just go to Outline View and adjust the page breaks accordingly. I place the Open Report Section at the top of the page (after the previous page break) and the Close Report Section at the bottom of the page (before the next page break). It seems to work fine for me.

Can you give more details about the page break problem?
