  1. Being able to track things across multiple data sets is really useful. The Headlines Tracker report is very good. But this doesn't currently extend to the Qualifications/Grades reports - only 'average points' is trackable. Please give the ability to track 9-7%, 9-5%, 9-4%, SPI on the Tracker report.

  2. It would be useful to sign in to SISRA Analytics using a Microsoft or Google work account. This would leverage the multi-factor authientication used by these systems and make the special category personal data held in SISRA more secure.

  4. Invest in the KS3/4 side of SISRA as it is looking tired and outdated and hasn't had a proper refresh in years.

    Shorter pages that don't need scrolling is a must along with proper dashboards, similar to the new MAT interface.

  5. Most of our focus groups already exist in our MIS, and it's slow duplication to select students one at a time to recreate in SISRA.

    First preference is for SISRA to update student info automatically, via Wonde or similar - in which case, would request that we also be able to select existing groups from our MIS to import as Focus groups.

    Failing that ... would request the ability to paste a list of Student identifiers in order to match in bulk and save as a new focus group.

  6. Staff feedback is that when they select a Qualification and then a Class, when they click on individual student hyperlinks they expect the dropdown list of students to only be those in the Class previously selected.

    Would it be possible, on the "Student Detail Areas" to be able to filter the dropdown list to only show a specific class.

    (To pre-empt, the browser back button doesn't always take staff back to the class list. For me, it does. I've advised staff to use Chrome, but that's still not working for some).

  8. I use the following to see who the tope performers are on GCSE Results Day:
    Grades>Overview>Students (and then All A8 Quals and set to count, order by APS).

    I've just realised that a 9-8 in science is averaged to an 8.5 and then counts as two 8s for this student, which effectively makes this page inaccurate when counting how many 9s/8s/7s a student has received. Similarly, a L2D*, 8.5 is rounded down to an 8, but this is uderstandable as the page can only count integer grades, but the science count needs to be sorted so that this page is…

  11. When using the comparisons function and exporting the data, it currently exports over 3 rows (eg grade on row 1, target on row 2 and diff on row 3). Would be good to have it all on 1 row.

  12. KS5 includes the great functionality to allow 'Alternative Upload Values' in Grade Method creation / reconfiguration. Could this be extended to KS3/4 to allow schools to complete vocational assessments using own grade sturcture, and also allow the DfE style grades normally only seen on Embargo day. This would save a lot of 'grade not in method' icons and or updating / resolving within Excel before upload which is subject to human error.

  13. The Filter Level reports are only available for filters that have 15 values or less. Due to this, Ethnicity is not included and we would really like to meet an indicator on the Equalities Award - "2.4 The school is aware how pupils from different backgrounds are achieving and progressing in the school."

  14. When uploading subsequent grade files, user is presented with the 'Confirm Upload Qualification Names' screen where they are prompted to merge uploaded subjects with existing ones, or set as new subjects.

    This page is a source of confusion for a large number of users who don't fully understand the concept of this page, which is stemmed from the name of this page being overly long and ambiguous. Simplifying the name of this page to 'Subject Mapping' or something similar, would likely make it easier for users to understand the overall purpose of this page.

  15. We have recently created a focus group on Sisra for Year 10 & Year 9 Review 3 assessments. This is in order to derive performance according to CAT Band. The set up of this focus group has gone well and are using filters to see what reports look like using this criteria. What would be useful is for focus groups to also be available as a selection using "Breakdown" so we can see this information on a single page (currently this is only available for groups applicable to all Sisra customers, e.g. disadvantaged, EAL etc). Please can functionality be added…

  18. Great to have the 'Back to top' shortcut in reports, even better if we could have this feature on admin pages. Particularly cohort lists and grade management pages which can be lengthy.

  19. To save time when providing a breakdown of % achieving basics 9-7 by various filters. Very easy to do for 9-5 and 9-4 but the figures have to be found by applying filters one at a time for 9-7 which is time consuming.

  20. it would be very helpful if you could see the title of ALL the assessments uploaded, and chose which you want to publish - so all of the assessments uploaded can be identified and you can see which have been published and which haven't - at the moment, until you publish you could be mistaken for thinking it's not there.
