Do you know the process for doing this? When creating marksheets for classes, it seems you can't choose the supervisor/owner for the marksheets as they automatically get assigned to the teacher for each class.

I've used Assessment Manager for years and never come across this issue before: Department Heads (who are correctly set up as such in Course Manager) can only see marksheets for classes they teach, instead of all classes in their department. I've checked Course Manager to ensure they're set up as supervisors with the "Head of Department" title, they're all assigned to the "Class Teacher" group in System Manager. For what it's worth, I also found that Head of Years can't see all marksheets for their year group either. Bit of a loss as to what to look for next, if anybody has any ideas. I don't really want to grant the department heads Assessment Coordinator permissions, but that's looking like my only option at the moment. TIA!

According to Montagu, the plan is to continue with and roll out SIMS 8.

Are you referring to Lesson Monitor? You'll still need it if you want to work with lesson attendance data. SIMS Core Suite includes the barebones attendance module for daily AM/PM registration. With regards to the Census, I believe the only data required for submission are the AM and PM reg marks - marks for individual lessons aren't counted.

Capita Helldesk sounds about right

You'll need to create your own exam basedata in SIMS Examinations under "DOM" (for 'Domestic' examinations)

I too am experiencing delays with the Capita support desk; 2 months have passed so far... hopefully they'll get back before I retire in 20 years time!

Is it possible to delete old academic years from SIMS? I've never had to do this, but I'd like to tidy up our training datasets (if possible).

Thanks!

The latest installable SIMS ISO seems to be the Summer 2013 one or has their been another since? If anyone could PM me a link to the ISO or a KB article I'd be very grateful

Continuously "0%" recovery

Or a way to "promote" the students into the same Year groups?

Is it possible to duplicate an academic year for training datasets? I.e create a New training academic year (for this year) using the exact same data as the previous academic year, so essentially restarting the year? I'd like to avoid using the Promotion and Leavers routine and adding new students etc unless it's absolutely required by the system

@minimoo even if it's been In Recovery all day?

Restarted SQL and the database is now "In Recovery" Our last backup was only a month ago, so it's not too big an issue
