Version 1.3 Presentation of the Improvements made to Non EDI Result Entry and to its Link to Course Manager and School Census Jim HaywoodProduct Manager for Statutory Returns
In this demonstration we are going to look at a course that has members, but does not have any link to a QWS QAN/Discount Code, nor any link to an Exam Award. We are going to see how the modifications we have made to non EDI Exam Results Entry allow such a course to indicate the exam result and for the AO QAN/Discount Code for that exam result to be included for the School Census Learning Aim. In other words we are looking at how we have solved one of the main problems found for School Census Autumn 2012
The first step is to make sure that we have downloaded the latest version of the QWS files. QWS is located at https://collectdata.education.gov.uk/qwsweb
Do the same for the Discount Code, Awarding Bodies and Qualification Types XML files
Next we make sure that we have downloaded the latest version of the Performance Measures XML file. This is available from SupportNet http://support.capitaes.co.uk
If the Performance Measures XML file isn’t shown in the Files panel, we can access it by clicking the Files button and use the Resource Number to search for the Resource. The file for the Summer Beta release has been allocated Resources Number 21104, but the file for use with live data will have a different number.
We can download to the same folder we used for the QWS files
It’s a ZIP so we will have to extract the file before importing it into SIMS
So we now have the latest copy of the five files we are going to import
We import the files by running Tools | Statutory Returns Tools | Import Qualification Data
The remaining three QWS files are identified in the same way
Clicking the Import Catalogue Files button import the files we have identified and a log of the rusults
It is best to scan the whole log, as errors, if the exist, are often at the bottom of the log
The process is the same for importing the Performance Measures XML file
A course where neither QWS QAN/Discount Code nor Exam Awards have been linked
To show the full power of the new link between non EDI Results Entry, Course Management and School Census, we will link to a Course that has no other link to Exams Organiser
The Problem Solving course has two members where Exam Result and the associated AO QAN/Discount Codes could be picked up from non EDI Results Entry
Using non EDI Results Entry to enter results for the members of the Course
Non EDI Results Entry is available from Focus | Examinations | Focus | PI Values | Edit PI Data
