it would be helpful if we could have multiple collection in other slots than Assessments

we use data set for trial exams (y11/13), and another for trial exams (y10/12).
if we could just add 2 collections under same data set we'd not need another slot.
some schools use slots for FFT 20/ FFT 5 / FFT50
some schools may want to compare FFT based on KS2 and FFT based on CAT..
we use extra slot for DFE results to check if it matches ours (and we don't have a spare collection under Y11 to upload it there)

easily to run out of slots...

I too have used all my datasets as we have been SISRA customers for a number of years. I know I could export data from a dataset and upload into an assessment slot, but this would have to be done for all past cohorts - a lot of work. Why can't we have different datasets for different cohorts? I have used datasets for Y9, Y10 and Y11 internal exams which could have gone into an assessment but didn't. I now have no free datasets to upload, for example, the SPI targets. Putting these in an assessment slot would not feel right.

Hi Nicola (and for anyone who has voted on this),

It's really unusual for a school to 'run out' of slots to upload their data to and I believe that you aren't currently maximising your Assessment area to its full potential.

I can see that you are only currently using 3 of your available 6 assessment slots at the moment for each Year group. This means that you have an additional 15 slots available for each cohort, which are currently unused.

By utilising these you would unlikely have the need for additional Data Sets in the system.

Please feel free to drop us a line at sisraconsultants@junipereducation.org if you would like us to go through this with you in more detail.
