Edulink has this functionality with iSAMS

You can do this using Edulink One, once applicants have reached the accepted stage in the application process in SIMS, accounts for these parents will be created allowing them to update the information in the same way that parents who have a child already on-roll do. These parents don't need to have an email address to be able to do this, but you will need to let them know their login details for Edulink One. If you need further advice on this our support team will be happy to help

Hi @Imgtfy, I am Head of Operations at Overnet Data (who make Edulink One), Edulink One only costs a up to £2,000 per year for secondary schools with lower pricing for primary and special schools. It sounds like your school is quite small? Please give us a call (01604 807545) and ask to speak to myself (Lucy) so I can check your contract for you as you should not be paying £3,000 per year

@RobFuller I looked at uservoice.com but after consideration I decided against it due to the fact opening up the feature requests to all customers to see would then potentially lead to us no longer being able to determine what customers actually need, instead people would vote for things they would like in an ideal world (which is slightly different approach but ends up with very different results). Not informing the customers on what each other are requesting gives an accurate representation of what people want/need. for example take this https://microsoftgraph.uservoice.com/forums/920506-microsoft-graph-feature-requests/suggestions/38469304-add-support-for-application-permissions-to-list-as it is the top voted educational idea on there... all 3 votes are people in this office (feel free to vote on it as it would allow us to get assignments in teams pulled in to Edulink One homework) I am very aware that customers would like to see the road map and have solid time frames for functionality but this is not how the process goes here in the office... this changes continuously. on a side note we also attached details ranging from contact information to technical details on these tickets internally which could not be shared with anyone outside the office.

@smarties11 not at all we encourage our customers to talk to each other and to provide us with feedback. Glad to hear you're impressed with the system and I look forward to hearing any feedback you have regarding the launch next week Just so you are aware #4 is already available, just give me a call if you would like me to talk you through setting it up (it's on the register tab of settings, you need to select it in "Selected Tags" then select the consents from "Parental Consents") Lucy

Morning All Hope you are all well, just to clarify our position on feature requests before you all start emailing in... All feature requests get recorded on our system regardless of how many customers request them. I am sure you all will appreciate we get a lot of requests (we currently have 475 open feature requests). Feature requests get reviewed by myself on a regular basis and I use a variety of measures when deciding on what to prioritise this includes, 1, How many customers have asked for the functionality 2, The perceived benefit to the customers (will this really improve the system) 3, How many customers will potentially benefit from this 4, Are there any customers who would see this change as a negative 5, The amount of development required Our current number one requested bit of functionality is regarding adding payment functionality but this requires a large amount of development so although we intend on doing this at some point this year there are other requests which we are prioritising over this one. We always prioritise bugs over new functionality, with this in mine we are currently doing no feature request work whilst any bugs from the start of term and all the new functionality we added over the summer is sorted.

Hi All, Edulink One now sends notifications for behaviour and achievement added in SIMS.net

Edulink One now has this functionality

If you email support we can tell you the URL you can use to get to the "school only" login page

Ok thanks for the clarification, I will discuss this with the rest of the team and see what we can do. Yes it is possible to do it as a cron, the reason we have not put this in place already is we were concerned about load if we did this too often and the possibility of the delay meaning people received notifications hours after the events (middle of the night) but we might be able to do something to schedule the cron around "unsociable hours" Anyone looking for updates on this request please email support with your school name and ask to be added to ticket #5487

Hi Edulink One has got the ability to record messages in to the SIMS communication log. What do you mean by "published"?

There is a setting on the documents tab of the settings called "Non-Employee Embargo Types" select "AM Individual Report" from the drop down list then enter the number of days you would like them to be hidden from Parents and Students. This works off the document modified date so should allow you to achieve what you want to do Hope this helps Lucy
