I export the marksheet(s) from the subjects and copy the relevant data from ALIS across. If the subject is only taken by a few students it is easier to manually enter the data into SIMs

Try renaming the column heading in the template. For some reason when you rename the aspect only the aspect name changes automatically in the template - the column heading stays as it was.

Is it just one year or all years? If it's just the former it could be that he is down as a Head of Year in the pastoral structure. Check this is correct first as the pastoral rights can create this.

Thanks again for your time VikPaw. For future reference (if anyone gets stuck in the same situation) go to data>>temporal locks and remove each of them individually. This removes all the locks from the working system so that the next time you export your curriculum the maintenance set is fine (unless you have made local changes to rooms in SIMs). A Maintenance set is best used for future timetable alterations and will create temporal locks for the rooms/classes which change for the relevant future period. Thankfully our situation is now resolved

FYI the temporal locks have reduced and I now know why they are created. Thank you again vikpaw for your help in this. Thankfully it seems all is now well ( well nearly)

Thank you so much Vikpaw. I am going to run a variation check today to see which construction timetables(s) are currently active, but if my worst fear is confirmed it will be due to an old construction set with an end date in the future. A couple of further questions if you don't mind: If I create a construction dataset will it import the data from SQL or will the timetable have to be manually duplicated? If the end date of the corrupt construction set is further in the future than this year will I simply be sticking a temporary fix on a wound for now, yet have the same issue next year? Is there anyway to delete the corrupt construction set from SIMs? I do know this is a complex problem - but it's the last one (I think) we are facing. There have been several end of year jobs which have not happened for some reason or another and I am looking forward to being able to swim on as opposed to tackling the shark which is biting my feet whist trying to keep everything appearing as 'normal'.

I have used this forum to solve several issues I have experienced with SIMs over the last few weeks (thank you to those who have unknowingly helped me) and wonder if anyone can please shed some light on a situation that we have regarding temporal locks in Maintenance Datasets (Nova T). Whilst I can remove them and get the timetable to work, I am wondering what is causing them in SIMs. Being new to the job this year I have inherited someone else's timetable and do not have the original Nova T file, so am correcting issues with the timetable through Maintenance datasets. However, every time one is created it has hundreds of Temporal locks. Even after removing them and exporting back into SIMs the temporal locks are still in place when another Maintenance set is created. My initial thought is that an old academic year is still running in SIMs - is this even possible? The locks that are being created must be at least 2 years old. Any advice anyone can give would be greatly appreciated as, although I have a work around, I'd like to sort the issue which is causing the locks
