Is DMS set to use http 8080? If so try altering it to TCP and any other port that isn't commonly used. We found various things from antivirus to active network management on switches like to inspect packets on 8080

The aspect in the report should automatically pull the new data as it is still the same aspect and resultset, it just will now have a colour property.

the 1=1 then 1 is just a way to say always do this, and the bit that it is always doing is applying the off-white colour to the specified column. If you manually select a colour for a cell/column not through a formula it won't show up in reports as it is user specific.

you need to add a nested if then else data review by formula column after the target grader with a formula of If 1 = 1 then 1 (with a slightly off-white background), and also colour this column (Target)

it can't be a pure white background as Capita use that for Transparent. You need an RGB of something like FF, FF, FE

you can just add aspects to a template without a result set attached and it will display the most recent chronologically entered result in that aspect regardless of resultset. Note if someone enters a result in Autumn and forgets to enter one in spring then the Autumn result will still be visible as the most recent.

Assuming you are talking about the KS2 outcomes

External SIMS support will have their own MyAccount login and you can have yours. We have many schools that we support where multiple members of the school have MyAccount logins and it works fine for them. I'd email SMB-CCS-My Account Support if you are having issues.

yes, if you remove the LA address validation from the SIMS services you can use the default Capita one instead (assuming it hasn't been deleted if it has you'll need to log a call to get it re-set up).

They have said at a couple of their meetings they are replacing it soon but didn't go into details of when or with what.

SIMS will only send the data that is enabled (via a patch) to Capita's web server. If you have applied the full Parent App patch, but not signed up for it then you will upload all data but only the material available in the Lite version will be available to see in the App. If you only applied the patch for the Lite version then the system will go through the process of looking at each area and SIMS will tell SSM that it isn't enabled for this site (which is why it still shows in the SSM logs).

We wrote an ATF to CTF converter so that our schools can use the "add data for existing pupil only" option when importing, thus preventing duplicates. Note: it on;y works if a UPN is present int he ATF.

If you run DBupgrade from a command prompt you can add the /? parameter to it which will give you all the possible parameters, one of them is to not do a backup.

There is a tick box when deploying patches through SOLUS3 to delete the backup after a successful deployment.

My understanding is that Capita stopped any development of the Teacher app some time ago and no-longer supports Android devices. I have seen many other, more feature-rich alternatives so I'd recommend doing some research before getting it. Almost all the schools I support have stopped using it.

It should be a simple case of putting an end date in their absence in Cover.

Yes you can download a CTF from the NCA website containing the KS2 info.

If the candidate was never entered for exams and never had any results entered against them then it is easy to delete them through Exams Organiser. However if as is usually the case they do then you need to ascertain if the information about their exams needs retaining, if not you can go through and delete each piece of info then delete the person. If you do need to keep the data then you need to merge the 2 records. For that you will need to log a call with your SIMS support. For GDPR it is strongly advisable to merge the records if you need to keep them, as just removing the UCI from one record and adding to another will mean all that information gets missed off the personal data output, potentially causing you issues int he future.

Get your SIMS support to dial in and have a look. There are too many possibilities to go through on a forum without having a look at the system in question

Have you applied the Timetable (Tools | Academic Management | Apply Timetable)? Have you done the lesson monitor setup (Tools | Setups | Lesson Monitor Options | Lesson Monitor Setup)?

Do you use VLANS or any network-level filtering on your switches, etc.?

Your SIMS Support/Capita can supply you with a report that will create a CSV from the addresses currently in your system, you can then open the csv and fill the column for Primary email address with a value (I can't remember if it's a Y or a T off the top of my head). You then put this file in a folder on your SIMS server and run a patch (16799) which will read the info from the csv and update all addresses as indicated in the file.

Patches with the letter A in a black circle on the right side of the screen are auto-deployable. If it isn't working you could try re-registering the site as that seems to be Capita's go-to answer when things like this happen.

a nested if then else formula for data entry (using the same aspect but the new result set) then you can do a comparison starting with the latest column (e.g. Summer assessment) and check if it is no equal it to any value not in the gradeset (e.g. if Summer TA <> NA) because SIMS will ignore any If statement where either side of the operator is NULL. Here is a screenshot of one I did for a Marks integer aspect where the teacher had to enter a positive value to be valid.
