<DIV>Hi Hock</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>My understanding from Markbook is that exports of student details need to be done directly from CASES via an XML file, which is then imported into Markbook. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>This is needed for student enrolment file fields that the old CSV file transfer method doesn't supply but are required for the new system in reporting back to the Ministry.</DIV>

<DIV>Hi Michael,</DIV>
<DIV>The import and export facilty in Markbook is excellent. It imports CSV</DIV>
<DIV>files in a very systematic manner. I have used Markbook since 2000 in</DIV>
<DIV>conjunction with Maze (similar to Cases21 - supplied by CAZ) which was</DIV>
<DIV>used as the timetabler package previously. We have now moved to The</DIV>
<DIV>Timetabler which can export the relevant Markbook files in the CSV</DIV>
<DIV>format. Is CASES21 used for timetabling? If your timetable package can</DIV>
<DIV>export the required fields easily and stored as a CSV file, you can</DIV>
<DIV>easily import them into Markbook.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I will be happy to give further advice if you wish as I have been a</DIV>
<DIV>Markbook Administrator since its inception in our College as well as a</DIV>
<DIV>timetabler for three years before handing the job back to a teaching</DIV>
<DIV>staff.</DIV>

<DIV>Hi Laurie,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>You might be right about the cost but it took 10 hours of solid work to</DIV>
<DIV>create the working model based on our school's needs (including deriving</DIV>
<DIV>the algorithm as per department guidelines) - I wanted a challenge!</DIV>
<DIV>Funny thing is - our school has yet to decide whether to go FM Pro or</DIV>
<DIV>Markbook but I suppose they still need to see a working model anyway.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Can I ask - since we do not have Markbook - How well does it integrate</DIV>
<DIV>with</DIV>
<DIV>Cases21 and other programs - Do you have to export and then import data</DIV>
<DIV>via a txt/csv file and vice versa OR can Markbook directly access data</DIV>
<DIV>from the data files of other programs?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Please provide some info.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
