11 October 2024 - Horizons slow to load/unresponsive in the morning

We are aware of an issue where the site is slow or unresponsive on a morning, between 09:00 - 09:30. We understand the impact of this issue for schools, as the slow site performance is occurring during key registration time.

Site performance before 09:00 and after 09:30 appears to be functioning normally, with load times at the level we would expect.

Our infrastructure and development teams are currently investigating this issue and working towards a solution. We will provide further updates as soon as possible. We apologise for the inconvenience this ongoing issue maybe causing.

13 October 2024 17:30

Our infrastructure team have deployed some updates to the Horizon system, that should address the site performance issues. The infrastructure team will be monitoring morning performance closely on Horizons.

19 September 2024 09:30 - Event Registers not showing marks

We are aware of a continuing issue where event registers may not be showing the bookings and users are not able to enter bookings. For the time being please use the following instructions to enter marks

  1. Go to your event management page via "Pupils Event Management" and select the event you'd like to check.
  2. Click the "Edit" button and ensure that the box "Include in School Calendar" is ticked, if it's not please tick it and then save the event.
  3. Once you've done this, we recommend logging out and logging back in again.
  4. You should then see on your calendar found on the dashboard, you'll see the event. You can then go to the specific day you'd like to check the bookings for and it will present you with a register and any bookings with a note under the child with who it was made by for that particular event.

We appreciate your patience while our development team is working on this problem.

05 September 2024 09:30 - Registers not saving when recording meal choices

We are aware of a continuing issue for some users where registers are not saving when a meal choice is being recorded. A fix was released yesterday, which has addressed part of the issue but there is still a scenario where the register is not saving - our developers are working to address this.

When recording a register if a meal is chosen from the drop down, the meal and present mark are selected but are not being saved unfortunately.

To record and save meal choice and attendance successfully:

  • Use the numerical code shortcut to select a meal and mark the student as present

    Or
  • Enter a present mark and then select a meal choice from the drop down. 

05 September 2024 14:30

Our developers now have a fix for the register not saving when a meal is selected from the drop down, to record attendance and the meal. The fix is now going through testing and we are aiming to release the fix later this evening.

05 September 2024 17:00 - Resolved

The fix identified by our development team has now passed testing and been released. This should now address the registers issue and allow the meal choice and attendance on the registers to save successfully when a meal option is selected from the drop down.

We will continue to monitor registers and wide system functionality over the coming days.

RESOLVED


04 September 2024 09:55 - Teachers unable to save registers

We are aware of an issue that is stopping teachers in schools that have meal registers on the AM/PM widget from submitting attendance and meals as we would typically expect them to. This issue has been submitted to our development team and is being worked on as a high priority issue.

For the time being, office staff will need to enter this data via the registers available under "Office". As soon as we have an update regarding this, we will be sure to share this.

04 September 2024 10:30 - Update

Our team are still actively looking into this problem as a high priority, we have found that in some cases the following may allow users to update and save their registers following the below steps,

  • Enter the mark for attendance first
  • Click the meal drop-down box and select the option

Please note this may not work for all users and must be done in this order.

04 September 2024 17:30 - Resolved

Our development team deployed a fix at 16:45 to address this issue. Registers are now saving successfully when meal code choices are used to mark a pupil present. We apologise for the impact this issue has had on your ability to record attendance today.

RESOLVED
