Hello

What we usually do when Prosolution doesn’t quite do what we want is to create an access front end. The access front end utilises the tables from prosolution that it requires e.g. Student Detail, Enrolment, Offering etc then we have extra self-developed tables that sit among the prosolution tables, allow us to enter data and then report across the whole front end/back end data.

We use these quite a lot and they work for us. Just putting it out there for consideration.

Regards

Subject: Re: Work Placement (Student Tracking and Monitoring)

Hi Dax

That is exactly what we are trying to do

The Work Placement Officers want to be able to record, where a student is Planned to go, actually went, the hours they need to do, and the hours they have already completed. They want to track this at course group level (or by student tutor) . Currently they use a report that they copy and paste some student info coming from ProSolution into a spread sheets and then adding to that. Obviously, everyone does it slightly differently (with different colours meaning different things to different people.

When all we want to do is import it to the StudentEmploymentHistory as a placement.

How are you handling this, are you manually putting this in for each student?

Thanks

Adrian

Hi Adrian,

Tbh we have given up on ProEngage.

I couldn’t get enough users using the product to actually make the product work. Its supposed to record the interactions with your employer base. But if you just have one user sticking some organisation info in when they think they have the time… its just not going to generate the useful information you need.

It’s a pity really as I think there is value in the product, it’s just really difficult to get buy in from users.

What are you aiming to do with the information .. import it into the StudentEmploymentHistory as Placements?

Regards

Dax

Hi Dax

That’s what we thought, but like you are saying I think it is overkill.

Doesn’t ProEngage do this?

Or any CRM system for that matter… maybe a bit overkill though

Just wondering does anyone have a “system” that enables staff who are trying to find placements for students to easily track and monitor this, at group and individual level, and even better would be to import it into ProSolution?

Currently we are using individual spread sheets at a group level, obviously this does have its negatives for us, i.e importing and reporting isn’t easy.

Many Thanks

Adrian
