Dragged kicking & screaming away from Excel to Google - my attempts at producing a student photo list going disastrously. Photos go all over the place and need re-sizing individually. Assistance needed for the inept...

Anyone know how to set student documents to Public in SIMS? I don't know of a setting or routine to do this.

I have a distant, indistinct & possibly unhelpful memory of Assessment>Individual reports having an issue with Office 365 - there were issues of ancient parts of SIMS not being supported - possibly it will come to me in the middle of the night...

Made a hard day near impossible. Should've used a pencil. Product Design GCSE Grade U - no Sixth Form for you, like most of our students.

Anyone trying to use Admissions+ this morning? Admissions- more accurately...

For anyone not paying attention / losing the will to live...we're nearly up to Consolidated Patch 4(due sometime Friday).[26089 although, confusingly, referred to elsewhere as 26088 - which I think was CP3]. https://support.capitasoftware.com/csm?id=kb_article_view&sys_kb_id=3b496cf6dbbfd850109770ba68961900 We won't get this deployed before the weekend - so that's another week - you'd think once you've spent forever getting all of those Es and Qs removed you'd be done...

The PDO isn't much use - we've been asked to search for every doc where the staff name is referenced...think Profiles or AM Reports where this has been tagged. Next stop C*p*t*, as you say they should have the ability to look in the documents. Thanks for the help.

Yes it is.

Every mention of a member of staff - in any field, mentioned in any text, in any list or drop-down, even within any report or linked document...everything, everywhere... As difficult as I think?

I am LA so you could be right...

I can see this in MyAccount: Notifications Your Notifications shows the latest news to keep you up to date and informed. IMPORTANT: 2019 Spring Release awareness regarding CTF imports 28/06/2019 View details...

Remember seeing this some time ago - vba run-time error, think there are a few threads around this on various excel forums.

Rebecca, I'm sure you're aware that you can export the comments for each subject and that you can also preview comments selected for individual students...but don't think you can easily compile a list of subject comments chosen for individual students.. Sorry.

Although we may be looking for partnerships elsewhere - not all of these providers are necessarily looking for LAs to support their systems. Our expertise is with SIMS - as are most of our customers. The original point was that the new version doesn't impress thus far - which is a concern - although we have supported a less than impressive product for many years now...

For our LA the partnership with Capita is hugely important – for obvious reasons. Without being in a position to actively sell new SIMS, it’s increasingly difficult to remain upbeat about an application still clearly requiring considerable development – particularly when you’re trying to sign up schools essentially to get at their data. Both the schools and the LA are also being actively courted by other providers - and need to engage with those offering viable alternatives without cheesing too many people off. As the years roll by it is increasingly hard to re-assure schools that the something we promised that would solve all of their problems is still actually going to put in an appearance. It’s hilarious to consider that some of these schools were reluctant to train staff on old SIMS or to go ahead with using some modules as they thought it wouldn’t be worth the effort with the imminent arrival of the game-changing version 8. And the answer to the endless questions about whether it will be able to do this or that or other is still…we have no idea.
