Please review these FAQs regarding the installation of the new version of the app.

Is the update for the client-side software or something that needs to go onto the server containing the SIMS database? |
The application needs to be able to connect to your SIMS Database. Therefore, it needs to be installed on a school workstation or server that has access to your school's SIMS Database. If you are working from home, you should be able to access this remotely. |
|
Is there any special training provided to users during the 1-hour installation meeting or is it strictly an installation guide? |
Prior to the meeting, the installation will need to be carried out so that when we are in the meeting I can run through the setup of it and then talk you through the process of using it and checking the record in SIMS. |

How do I link siblings in SIMS when imported from the new SIMS App? |
Siblings will be linked in SIMS from their Parent/Carer details. When the parent is pulled through from A+ on the new App it will check if they already exist in SIMS. When they confirm, the students then become linked (via the parent details) in SIMS. |
| Who can be imported using the new App? | When using the new SIMS App to import students they must have a 'COMPLETE' registration form or they will not show on the import list. |
| What is the latest version of the App? | Version 6.0.0. |
| Do I need access to the server for the new App? | The application needs to be able to connect to your SIMS Database. It, therefore, needs to be installed onto a school workstation or server that has access to your school's SIMS Database. If you are working from home, you should be able to access it remotely. |
| How can I find my Server and Database details for the App? | In SIMS, go to Help/System Information and they are both there for you to copy. |
| What is my Admissions+ ID for the new App? | This is your Admissions+ Username. |
| I have Hosted SIMS can I still install it? | For hosted SIMS, we need to install Admissions+ Windows Application in the same machine with the SIMS.net and the integrators application is installed along with the VPN connection. The Admissions+ Application needs to read the libraries from SIMS.net directory and need to be able to connect to SQL Server like SIMS.net does, that why we need to install it on the same computer with the connector along with the VPN connection |
