Target Tracker help will soon be switched off
Target Tracker migrations to Sonar Tracker are almost complete. Once everyone has migrated, these help guides will be switched off.
These instructions are for creating a CTF file from iSAMs which can be used to update a Target Tracker database with Contextual and/or Key Stage Assessment data.
Log in to iSAMS
1. Student Manager Module
2. Select required pupils
3. 'Selected Students' drop-down menu
4. Export CTF Records
5. Select your own school
6. Export the CTF
***ALL CTFs will need editing manually before importing into Target Tracker - find more information here Resolving an invalid CTF***
Importing the CTF into Target Tracker
Please ensure you have the latest version of the TT software installed - Download here
Log in to Target Tracker as an Admin user and click on File > Import. Then choose one of the following options:
|
Update Contextual |
For existing pupils - only contextual information will be imported. For new pupils - assessment data will also be imported. New pupils will be added and leavers can be removed (if you select ‘whole school file’ in the right hand corner of the screen) |
|
Update Assessments |
Only assessment data for existing pupils will be imported. No new pupils will be added, and no leavers will be removed. |
|
Update Contextual & Assessments |
Contextual and assessment data will be imported for all pupils, overwriting statutory data. New pupils will be added and leavers can be removed (if you select ‘whole school file’) |
If the import fails, please refer to this flowchart to troubleshoot and solve the issue - Target Tracker: Resolving an invalid contextual import - Flowchart
Note: If you would like pupils who have left to be removed, you will need to click in the box towards the top right of the screen that says 'Whole School file' - the file will be read again, after which the tick will appear in the box and the screen will refresh.
Take care to check the new children and the leavers very carefully before continuing and completing the import. This procedure will not allocate new children to their classes or update PP or EAL information. This must be done using the Pupil Manager in Home > Other > Contextual.
