Import Sixth Form applicants basic data in to SIMS
BrownShoes replied to jmkirk's topic in MIS Systems
Martin, Nope - not aware that this is possible at the moment. A private college I worked at purchased some very expensive scanners for this purpose and then we waited for the necessary software to arrive... -
[sims] User Defined Fields and getting the data into a marksheet
BrownShoes replied to DeeQuinn's topic in MIS Systems
Click on the Group Filter spyglass and expand the + User-Defined Fields box? -
The Assessment checkbox enables you to filter a marksheet using your UDF. To get the contents into a column you'd have to copy them into an Aspect.

Humble Administration Assistant does it on our training DB.

Think the single AAA battery powering this site has gone again - honestly better off calling my mum than using the search on this webshi, website.

DfE have been threatening to fix this for several weeks and there was a message on S2S/Secure Login very belatedly advising of the issue. We requested an update last week - "The technical people are working on this as we speak" was the reply.

[sims] New Staff Timetables & Registers Won't Show, But Are In?
BrownShoes replied to JRA's topic in MIS Systems
Focus>Person>Manage Classroom Staff....do they each have a working pattern(panel 3)? -
[sims] Urgent Capita SIMS Data Issue - Issued by childrens services
BrownShoes replied to vikpaw's topic in MIS Systems
Customer Success Manager - sounds like Corporate Responsibility Avoidance Personnel to me... -
No experience of Bromcom - sorry themightymrp - but we've seen some stuff using PowerBI from SIMS and it looks quite interesting...with considerable potential as suggested in the previous post.

Further evidence that this office, like much of this area, is under the control of the Reptilian Elite* It's 27 degrees in here - admittedly cooler than it has been - and I'm left as the sole complainant. As usual. These people are vegetables** *Possibly the Reptilian Underachieving **Vegetable/Reptile hybrid

Adding pre-existing behaviour points into Sims
BrownShoes replied to THERADIOTUBBY's topic in MIS Systems
If you created the appropriate aspects you could import data into Assessment...but I can't see how it could possibly go into Behaviour Management (Achievement/Behaviour). Sorry. -
You're not by any chance using the dreaded 1-5 or 1-7 marks in Attendance...? Quite a few schools are, unfortunately, using this method for Attitude to Learning(A2L or ATL) or similar.
-
Does anyone have any experience with Canvas - particularly with regard to how well data is pulled through from SIMS? Would be interested to know whether there are issues with the amount of manual adjustment or maintenance within Canvas that may be required or how well GroupCall (or alternatives) work. Or alternative VLEs to Canvas...

The course bulk update worked for several errors - after that the rest were then amended in the Learning Aims Panel in the census. This hadn't been possible on previous runs - oddly there are clearly students with the same issues regarding status/reason who aren't generating errors. Can't work out why course manager won't accept the default 31/7 date for the P End Date, keeps insisting on the last day of term(19/7) - despite, again, many students not causing issues. Enormously frustrating to finally work out what needs changing and then not be able to save the changes in the system.
-
Thanks Ian - this looks quite useful. Unlike the helpdesk - they offered exactly the same advice which didn't work last week. I'm pretty certain that we have an issue with the course end date, and that it's affecting more than the small numbers of students showing as errors - when I corrected in the Learning Aims panel & uploaded the return the number of errors quadrupled(!).
-
I have - no joy. Also took advice regarding matching End Dates/P End Dates - which didn't work. Last rather convoluted solution involved calculating whether actual end date took student beyond their allocated learning hours to obtain suitable end date(?). At the moment anything that will go in to get rid of the thing will do.
-
2785 / 2820. Have various KBs / workarounds but they don't address the issue of what to amend - there's clearly a date issue, but that is the case for many others who aren't showing as errors. Pretty determined this should be fixable in Course Manager...
-
Students highlighted in the Learning Aims Panel are not the ones listed in the errors panel - and there's no indication of why they would have an issue. The students listed with errors are not highlighted & don't appear to have the problem indicated - so I have no idea what to amend. Up to census number 11 so far...
-
Census is picking up Learning Aim Status & Withdrawal Reason errors - but won't accept changes as the end dates are wrong - it won't save any date amendments. I think it may be an issue with the planned end date as well - but I can't change one single student to check, as it won't save with any other errors remaining(which aren't highlighted in Course Manager). Advice from support was inept - although I'm sure they'd like also it if the software actually worked.
-
8 days on and still trying to fix never-ending learning aims errors - despite, or in spite of, "help" desk assistance. Useless error messages and solutions, course manager refusing to accept suggested changes, learning aims panel highlighting non-existent errors - and may as well be talking to our support about collecting tea cosies. Easier to write the entire thing out by hand. This was rubbish 10 years ago first time around - hopefully when the 1 person they have trying to fix reporting, assessment, exams etc. finishes that, he or she can have a go at census. Is it just me? Because that wouldn't surprise me, I'm in an awful mood.

Have done the same for current Y7s to 11(using current grade structure), also to achieve P8 target - though have to set fairly tough targets for students to reach this. Debatable...
-
GCSE grades.
-
Thanks both.
-
Another FFT Aspire issue - does anyone know if current Year 6 students(our "new" Y7 as of September) can be imported into Aspire to generate targets/estimates....before they actually commence Y7? Thanks.
-
Thanks Kayley.
