Year names in Nova and SIMS .net

Introduction

Year names and National Curriculum year names are stored, separately, in SIMS .net, Nova-T6 and Nova-T4. It is important that these names match in order for everything to work properly. This document shows the relationship between the different modules and explains how to make amendments if required.

Year names

Year Name in T6 model must match...		…Short Name in .net Pastoral Structure

National Curriculum year names

NCYear in T6 model must match...		…Year Taught In in .net Pastoral Structure

How to amend

.net Pastoral Structure can be observed (do not change!) via Focus | School | Pastoral Structure | Current Structure > Go
In Nova-T6, on the Model screen, in the Years section on the left, edit the Name and/or the NCYr to match those in SIMS .net. Editing these has no effect on the data in T6, but it is always good practice to do Data | Force backup beforehand.
