How to add results to those imported through results files

Please note that use of the EDIT PI Data screen used to enter Non-EDI results requires that the Manage Performance Indicator Area is set up.

To add a new result that was not imported through a result file, either create a marksheet, or use the Edit PI functionality. This will apply for schools in a partnership arrangement where pupils have taken courses and sat exams at a different centre. It will not be possible to import the result file from the other centre, and there is no current functionality within SIMS to export exam results from one school to another via CTF.

Cannot see results when entered via Tools > External Results

You should import results via Tools | Import Results, or enter the results via a Results Marksheet. You can also use Focus | Edit PI data to manually enter results and these will be included in the schools Pi calculations. Do not use Tools | External Results to enter Results as these will not show in your result reports. 

When entering results for pupils who had attended classes/exams at a consortium school, the results should be entered in the HOME SCHOOL via a marksheet, not through the external results route. 

ONLY PRIOR EXTERNAL RESULTS SHOULD BE ENTERED THROUGH THE EXTERNAL RESULTS ROUTE. 

The External Results are not calculated into the schools exams results as it is put into an imported resultset. They will not be calculated into the PI calculations or displayed in any of the reports. 

The External Results | Manual Entry routine is designed to allow users to enter the prior attainments of students where, for example, they have joined the school in the 6th Form, with their GCSE results in the bag. It is the manual precursor of an electronic data transfer similar to that provided in DOS for the same purpose. When you record a result as having been achieved in, say, June 2015, the system assigns it to a result set (without a corresponding season) called Imported Exam Results June 2015. It can't form part of the same Season, in the Exams sense, because it has no basedata associated with it.
