Import Data from your MIS on SCO startup

Ensure you have first completed the section Set the SIMS Import Types

1. Click on the Configuration tab
2. Click on Import from external system
3. Select Import configuration
4. Click on Set up auto import
5. Select the Import type to Run from the drop down list
6. From the Condition drop down list, select Start up SCO
7. Click Add to auto import
8. The instruction will be added to the panel below

Repeat this process for any additional import types required so that these will also import from SIMS.net as specified

1. Once the required imports have been added, click OK to return to the Import configuration
2. Click OK to exit
3. Click Close to exit the Import from external system
4. Exit SCO
5. When SCO is started each day, the data will be updated automatically

Note that each import can take a few minutes, depending on the speed of your connection to SIMS, so we recommend keeping the number of auto-imports to a minimum.  The screen may take sometime to show any response – please be patient.
