ADT Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Who has it.. what do you think about it?? On first glance i see its potential.... couple of bugs which i've flagged... Would be instantly improved if you could pull in TMG's from SIMs??? @pconkie @gbligh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that set on a per subject basis? Are these related to aspects in SIMS somehow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADT Posted January 17, 2019 Author Share Posted January 17, 2019 Yep they are in per subject... yep aspects!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a side note, do you export your aspects to Frog and display the results anywhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADT Posted January 17, 2019 Author Share Posted January 17, 2019 Nope.... see we are revisiting the same thing.... Exam Timetables... Our Praise Certificates... Student Detentions.......... we have all the Data on SIMs.... i would like to have the Frog SIMs extractor pull the data.......... but it doesn't!!

adamw Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 The extractor will pull aspects and results from SIMS, which I think is a part of PEP. You then use the Frog Parent manager to configure them all and the various attainment widgets to show them. The other things (except for the exam timetables) I don't know about I'm afraid.

Yeah see we don't have PEP.... but if TMGS are pulled in as aspects potentially they could auto populate the TG column in markbooks??? If it can.... it's just another reason we should have PEP!!

Eventually - but the new section in Markbook Manager should do everything and more that assignment manager used to do. If there's something that it looks like we've missed, then let us know!

I mentioned this morning in our Briefing that Assignments button has changed to Markbook and for further info check the release notes attached on Frog notices....... you'd think i had told them Ofsted were coming in 10 mins!!

gbligh Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Is there a set date/release for when assignment manager will be going? Staff like it as it's a simple one to use, Markbook will look scary to them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most likely, It'll still be accessible for a while, during which time we hope people will switch over to using Markbook. The new assignments list works in much the same way as the old one, just with a bit more information and some new shiny colours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(by the way i changed the colours in system preferences) Not sure how it works out if a kid is on target based on a percentage..... when the grade is L1D*.... or how 60 & 26 is white and 54 is yellow!!

I'd have to look at how you're markscheme is set up to be able to see what's going on. Is that markscheme one brought over from SIMS or one you've made yourself? Just now, ADT said: The other question you have got to ask is will @pconkie's assignment lookup be affected when its removed? Shouldn't be, as the api's won't be changing.

adamw Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 @ADT I replicated the data shown on my local development copy of Frog and this is what I got: I used the following grades in the markscheme: Can you confirm that is the same as the one you're using? It's possible that there was a bug that we've since fixed (I'll check into that). If not, then I could do with getting a copy of you're Frog DB so I can try and replicate the issue here.
