We have been sent a Unique Learner Number (ULN) for a pupil joining Year 9. We are obliged to pass on this number if he later leaves to go to another state school so it needs to be stored on iSAMS now. But that would require him to be made into an...

As the family tree function is no longer in use, we have no way of recording the relationship of one parent to another (eg divorced, separated) - this information can be useful in dealing sensitively with pupils and their families. Please can we e...

Filters options in Export Wizard should reflect the fields itself. For eg. if we would like to filter Relation Type it should be a drop-down where we can select the required relationships instead of guessing or having to refer to the original field.

This would be useful for admissions and exams staff as pupils will often come to a new setting with a UCI in existence which we have to use to enable linking of results wherever the pupil may move to. It would help if the UCI number could be added...

This would make regular communication to staff about pay and benefits so much more efficient. For example post rollover you could write to each member of staff (selected) with details of their new pay, scales and allowances

As iSAMS recommends using the Email Wizard we wish to send out emails to school leavers (those that have just left) but they don't always have access to their school account. On the email wizard it would be beneficial when selecting Pupil users to...

Apparently staff absences in iSAMS are treated in increments of 0.5 (or nearest 0.5) for half a day even if someone had a dentist appointment for one hour. It would be great if iSAMS could allow us to record more fine staff absences such as 0.1 as...
