We are unable to upload component results into iSAMS. Our results are received from the SQA in an Excel spreadsheet and we have to send a screenshot to pupils with their component results, which is not ideal and time consuming. It would be helpful...
Ability to specify where exam arrangements comes from
SEN info in Pupil Registers flows through to Exams, which is great. But EAL info in Pupil Registers does not. We would want things like extra time and dictionaries recorded in either Register to populate Exams. Otherwise, what is the point of bein...
Making "shared" weightings visible on child gradebooks

Please could it be made possible to be able to 'block' out seats on a room configuration so that candidates can't be seated in them when creating a seating plan? Currently the only option for room configurations seem to be a complete grid, there i...
The ability to select/deselect which candidate results are published to Parent Portal
As per ICOs guidelines, pupils can request that their results are not published to parents if there is a good reason not to. Unfortunately, publishing results to PP in iSAMS is an 'all or nothing' button click. You cannot even manually remove a pu...
