Is it possible to have more than one period/day structure? We have an AP that has a different schedule, but this is causing issues with staff timetables as the periods do not line up. Scomis, our support provider, say no. I have read snippets here and there that say yes, but do not elaborate. Is this possible? We can't be the only school to have an alternative provision on a different timetable. Our "timetabler" has washed his hands of it so it falls to IT as per usual

Oh in case anyone is looking for the CSV headers, ParentPay do not make it easy to find this info, spreadsheet attached Manual Upload Template - PUPIL.xls

We were happy with Scomis for SIMS support so it wasn't a big jump for us to go with them for Bromcom. A few snags haven't been ironed our since October, which might be one of the reasons they are exiting the hosting biz for Bromcom. Sucks I will have to go back to all our 3rd parties to update our integrations and PowerBi reports... the URL won't be bromcom.scomis.org

They are exiting the hosting market soon

Bit of the tread bump. As of this morning, our ParentPay upload are still working... There is no settings in our Bromcom for it though. I am trying to find a template CSV for our pre-admissions. I think because we are Scomis hosted (for now) this hasn't been turned off properly...

Yep the IT dept (I.e. me) is busier than ever, but the tools are so much more powerful now

They have had a few outages and performance issues in a short period of time. It's generally fine, massively better than SIMS IMO

I recall hearing about Nextgen... 2016 was it?

Oh, 102% uptime then!

"100% uptime" when users can't do a register 😑

Can confirm. Not exactly an ideal work around. Most of our users are fine, only a few have reported it. I added cover permission, it started working for an affected user. We will never know the cause - there will be a vague statement, lessons learned, never happen again etc.

We're running through our old stock of projectors and replacing with 75" IWBs. They are a no brainer now, integrated touch, sound, calibration always perfect. Laser in halls, both are 5 years old and still as bright as usual. Clean or replace the filters in summer

Thanks. I put my thinking hat on and found all the data I need from 23-25 in the Behaviour and non-basic Student data domains. I am have been impressed with reporting in Bromcom, live data etc. Lightyears ahead of SIMS

Hi, we don't have vision, but I have the odata feed, however it is only current academic year. I am thinking I need to do a report and make the data accessible via URL (or just CSV it once as it won't change) but was hoping that someone has done the brain work already!

We've made some nice reports using odata into Power Bi but it appears the records are only for one academic year. Has anyone figured out how to export previous years data for comparison purposes? I think I will need to mirror most of the Students and BehaviourEventRecords tables
