I hope someone can help -or let me know if this is only happening on my system or if its changed for everyone We have been struggling with this all week, while printing Individual Reports for the whole school, in the past we were able to select 'ALL YEARS' to see the list of the whole school, then sort by REG to group the pupils by registration classes and then PRINT - this would print them in the order listed on the list, giving us class groups which could be distributed easily. Since the latest update we are unable to do this - although we still select all pupils and can sort on the lest by REG, regardless of the order on the list reports are printed in ALPHABETICAL Order. I've tried this for different groups and with different orders and it still always prints in alphabetical order. We have found two work arounds which are both very time consuming 1) Select each REG class and print class by class - this takes a long time as each class has to process separately and then print 2) Print the whole school alphabetically and then MANUALLY sort into reg class - again very time consuming. Has anyone else noticed this?

Hi All, Does anyone have any information on the sims.net database structure ? I am particularly interested in how the time table is stored ? and how to tell which cycle the timetable is in ? Thanks Andy

Hi With responsibility for all things Data in school, I keep being asked for all the information we hold on a pupil - particularly in Sims. I wondered how anyone else approached this - or if Sims had an answer - currently I generate reports on lesson monitor, reports from assessment manager, reports from the behavior management module (which I have designed), run a report on exclusions, can run a report on initiatives, run a report on SEN and now include a report on Interventions - the list goes on, but am always conscious I could easily be missing something and someone pointed out today that we could get a Freedom Of Information request and how would we go about doing this most effectively. I wish Sims would have a single button - not dissimilar to the 'School Report' function but for an individual student - that would be amazing! Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks

Hello! This is a case of seriously bad timing but a member of our SMT was getting the last acedemic year on his workstation and was told to change it via 'Routines...' rather than simply clicking on the hyperlink at the top of the homepage. Having run that process, every SIMS user is locked out of the program and the only message that we get at login is - 'The database query timed out'. Can anyone point me in the right direction on this? How does a change of academic year on SIMS lock it down? Thank you, I hope, for your help. Ken
