[Transition Tool](https://helpdesk.applicaa.com/course-8-transition-features-taster-days?hsLang=en#transition-tool) # Using the Transition Tool to export to SIMS ## How to export data collected in the Transition Tool to SIMS If you have SIMS as your MIS, you can use the Transition Tool to export your data directly into your MIS. The Transition Tool will help you automatically create the necessary **Aspects** in SIMS to store your transition data, and will then allow you to export the information into SIMS. The **Aspects** can then be added to **Marksheets** in SIMS following your normal marksheet creation routine.  **Important notes** You cannot import Transition Tool data unless you have already imported the students' admission data first. The student has to exist in SIMS before transition data can be imported for them. See how to import student admissions data to SIMS [here](https://helpdesk.applicaa.com/data-transfer-sims?hsLang=en). Students' enrolment status in A+ needs to be set to "enrolled" in order to import their Transition Tool data. Select the students, and use "change enrolment status" button to mark them as enrolled within A+.  ![](https://helpdesk.applicaa.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jun-09-2026-12-17-01-1139-PM.png?width=757&height=483&name=image-png-Jun-09-2026-12-17-01-1139-PM.png)   Within your Transition Tool, click the **export** button and select **export to MIS.** ![](https://helpdesk.applicaa.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Mar-07-2025-03-42-24-5448-PM.png?width=261&height=230&name=image-png-Mar-07-2025-03-42-24-5448-PM.png) Select **Edit SIMS Aspects.** ![](https://helpdesk.applicaa.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Mar-07-2025-03-44-05-4902-PM.png?width=628&height=340&name=image-png-Mar-07-2025-03-44-05-4902-PM.png) ![](https://helpdesk.applicaa.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Mar-07-2025-03-45-00-8430-PM.png?width=670&height=204&name=image-png-Mar-07-2025-03-45-00-8430-PM.png) You can then check the values and amend as needed, and proceed to launch your A+ SIMS App, where you will be able to select **Import Transition Data**.  ![](https://helpdesk.applicaa.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Mar-07-2025-03-49-10-5897-PM.png?width=536&height=390&name=image-png-Mar-07-2025-03-49-10-5897-PM.png) Choose the form you'd like to import data from.  ![](https://helpdesk.applicaa.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Mar-07-2025-03-50-10-6160-PM.png?width=670&height=242&name=image-png-Mar-07-2025-03-50-10-6160-PM.png) You can then choose which students you wish to import data for; you can **select all** or make your own selection. ![](https://helpdesk.applicaa.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Mar-07-2025-03-52-15-5896-PM.png?width=564&height=356&name=image-png-Mar-07-2025-03-52-15-5896-PM.png) You'll see a confirmation of the Aspects you set up at the beginning of the process, followed by a summary screen where you will click **Import.** ![](https://helpdesk.applicaa.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Mar-07-2025-03-54-51-2083-PM.png?width=670&height=304&name=image-png-Mar-07-2025-03-54-51-2083-PM.png) ![](https://helpdesk.applicaa.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Mar-07-2025-03-56-16-1505-PM.png?width=670&height=320&name=image-png-Mar-07-2025-03-56-16-1505-PM.png) Finally, on completion of the import process, you'll see a report - check this to ensure there were no errors.  ![](https://helpdesk.applicaa.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Mar-07-2025-03-57-20-0625-PM.png?width=670&height=161&name=image-png-Mar-07-2025-03-57-20-0625-PM.png) Once the import is complete, the data will be available within SIMS for you to follow your normal procedure to create a Marksheet.  Contact us on **0203 667 0764** if you need any technical support with the data import process.      -
