  1. Set up my new machine with 64bit windows 8.1. All drives mapped fine in My PC Ran Simsinst from Sims shared drive. Cannot find S: for shared folders. Bodge it by putting shared folders on local drive but then cannot see Sims drive for connect.ini What have I missed??? With all the panic of the first day back I had to revert to my old machine!!!
  2. Dear All We currently are receiving a very poor service from our current internet service provider which is affecting our day to day activities Has anyone any suggestions or recommendations for alternative providers We are in situated on the Nottinghamshire/Derbyshire border Thanks
  3. Hi all April 1st is on its way and we have budgeted for a new Sims/FMS server What are peoples recommendations for the best spec We are a 700 student Secondary who make extensive use most aspects of the software Thanks for your thoughts
  4. We use Sims marksheets to provide each teacher with grades and comments about the students in their class It would be really useful if, say in a comment field, we could have a hyperlink to key documents about the student eg IEP Documents could be held on a shared drive, or on a webserver etc and are currently in word files Is this possible? If not is anyone aware of a direct way of letting staff access IEPs etc for their class Staff have found identifying SEN students from their marksheets and then having to navigate to each ones linked documents or a shared folder containing all IEPs a barrier to using them. If this isn't currently possible would Capita consider it as paid for feature request for us? Does anyone have any other suggestions?
  5. Works like a dream. Much appreciated Is it possible to add a custom sort list. So I could include my Btec Pass, merit grades etc as equal to C,B etc
  6. For the current best 8 measure we want to see what grades will currently count in a students best 8 in order Although we realise these grades will be without context ie subjects it would help us plan interventions if we could see which grades are below target I can get point scores in order from Sims using the Max function and could even convert back to grades using lookup. However the colour coding would be useful https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/209380151/Yr11%20Full%20Rag.xls
  7. I create a large spreadsheet with rows for each student and columns for each subject containing their current estimated grade coloured as to whether it is above or below their target in that subject I want to sort that list - keeping the colours - so the columns show their best to worst grade (subject not needed) I can do it for one row at a time Anyone know of a macro or code that would do all 150 rows????
  8. Dear All To support literacy we have bought a selection of texts which we want students to be able to borrow and read at home. This area is separate to the main library We need some simple software where we can log in/out when students borrow books and provide a list of unreturned books Anyone any suggestions???

  10. It has been suggested here that we use Easysite CMS for our new website Easysite Web CMS - Content Management System that puts you in control of your websites, extranets, intranets & portals - Easysite content management system Having always used Joomla in the past I was just wondering how the two compare We will be hosting Any comments much appreciated
  11. One of the few luxuries we have at the local hospital radio station I volunteer at is an Ilyama touch screen monitor Unfortunately if after a period of use and especially when the studio is warm the screen goes blank I am thinking its heat related Anyone know of any local contact who could have a look at it We are in Mansfield, Notts Thanks Mark

  18. Not sure if this is the right place to post this In my spare time I volunteer for my local hospital radio station in Mansfield, Nottingham Welcome to the Frontpage We are desperate for two or three LCD monitors to equip our new studios but as a charity we only have limitted funds.
