Preparing Your Data

The simplest way to prepare your data is to use Microsoft Excel. Data can be exported directly out of SIMS in Excel format. However, you will need to ensure that duplicate records are removed. The data for the school, teachers and students can be placed in the separate sheets of an Excel workbook. An example Excel data file is available here.

You may also prepare and send in your data as one or more CSV text files.

Your data should be sent to: sales at daisy-i dot com. The subject header should contain your school's postcode. Alternatively, you can post the data to us. Full contact details are given here.

In addition to pupil and teacher data, you will need to provide us with the names and email addresses of two contacts.

The first should be the person who we need to liaise with during the set-up phase and to deal with any subsequent queries.

The second contact should be your school's database administrator (DBA). A separate account will be created for this person on our database server. This will enable your DBA to update student data as and when changes occur, for example, if a student moves into a different teaching group or if a new student joins the school.
