1

EXPORTING DATA FROM SIMS

Once all your teacher assessments have been entered into SIMS you can analyse the data in Tracker+. To do this, you must first export the data from SIMS.

 

Begin by logging into SIMS and go to:

Focus > Assessment > Marksheet Entry

 

Find '_Tracker+ Master Basedata Export' (or '_Tracker+ Export') and double click to open the marksheet. There's a lot of data in this marksheet so it could take a minute or so to open and compile the data. Once the marksheet is loaded click the 'Export' button. If you're asked, export the data as 'Formatted'. This will export the data into Microsoft Excel. Once in Excel, click File > Save As and in the dialogue box that appears give this file a name and change the save as type to 'Excel Workbook'.

IMPORTANT: Close the data file that you just exported from SIMS and saved.

RELAX. WE'LL HANDLE THE REST.

Tracker+ will now begin importing your data and building your analyses from it. It should take approximately 20-30 seconds or so. When it's done we'll let you know.
