Exams Officers Network Meeting – Part 1
July 2013
• Presentation of the Improvements made to Non EDI Result Entry and to its Link to Course Manager and School Census 2
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 3
• Download the Qualification Files 4
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 5
Click to select the generic QAN data 6
Click to select the Current QAN XML 7
Save it to a folder you can access from SIMS 8

Do the same for the Discount Code, Awarding Bodies and Qualification Types XML files 11
Next we make sure that we have downloaded the latest version of the Performance Measures XML file. This is available from the Scomis webpage.

It’s a ZIP so we will have to extract the file before importing it into SIMS 13

So we now have the latest copy of the five files we are going to import 15
We import the files by running Tools | Statutory Returns Tools | Import Qualification Data 16

The remaining three QWS files are identified in the same way 22
Clicking the Import Catalogue Files button import the files we have identified and a log of the rusults 23

It is best to scan the whole log, as errors, if the exist, are often at the bottom of the log 25
The process is the same for importing the Performance Measures XML file 26
