    I have seen that term 4 for gr 12 we must put -1,but for CAT there is task 7 and consumer studies PAT 1 & PAT 2 that needed marks on those tasks,what should we do then?

  8. Patsy says:

    Hi
    I’m currently entering marks on Edu-admin and then onto SA Sams. However, there seems to be a problem with the weightings. For example, under tasks (grade 7) there is a specific weighting but under activities, the weighting is 100. Which weighting am I expected to use?If I use the weighting under the activities, am I expected to calculate the weight of each component manually? Please advise.

    • emisec says:

      Hi

      I cannot comments on Edu-admin

      SASAMS is correct according to national Curriculum and the CAPS Policy documentation.
      SASAMS does all the calculations for you.
      You only need to enter the Raw mark.

    Hi I’m principal of one of the primary schools in JS I’m very much interested in learning how to use sasams. Where to start?

    • emisec says:

      It is best to download and install SASAMS, then work through one module at a time.

      It is not difficult.

      Download from Thutong (Original Installation, Latest Patch and Spread) – Install all three and away you go !

      You are reminded of our Facebook Page – SA-SAMS User Support

      YouTube also has many help videos.

    I have downloaded the spread sheet 6.0.57,but those learners are not save

    • emisec says:

      Did you install it? The Spread? On the machine you are working on?

      Make sure the Spread is installed, Make sure Subjects loaded for Schedule (12.7.15) then Save 12.3.12, Save 12.7.16.3, Save 12.7.18 – only then will marks shown in schedules and reports.

  13. Zodwa says:

    Please help am having a challenge with the learners promotion Decision due to the learners who went to mountain school,they say we must put -1 but if i want SAVE it does not want to save it

    • emisec says:

      If learners were not present. Capture -1 for all tasks. Save 12.3.12. Save 12.7.16.3 Save 12.7.18.

      Any promotion changes to be done in 12.7.18.

      • Zodwa says:

        I have follow all the steps but still all the learners who went for mountain school,they are not save but the others have been save,am stuck.

      • emisec says:

        If its not saving, you have not got the Spread installed. Please install Spread 6.0.57

        You can Download it from any of the support web sites, but it might also be in your EdusolSams Folder

  14. Ndumiso Mkandla says:

    We use our SASAMS on a network. What are the steps for adding a new computer to the network, that can use SASAMS?

    • emisec says:

      Depends how you setup the network.

      Either install SASAMS on all the client PC’s and share the database on the server
      OR
      Install SASAMS on the server and all Clients login to the server via Remote Desktop

      All depends on your Network setup, hardware etc

    • emisec says:

      Install SASAMS on your new Laptop (Original installation then latest patch then the spread)

    MY SAMS SHOWS A NAGGING MESSAGE THAT KEEPSNON POPPING ON THE SCREEN IT SAYS “Do you want to allow the following program from an unkown publisher to make changes to this computer ?” Program name C:\Windows\Installer\4691927.msi

    • emisec says:

      This is a PC User/administrator right issue.

      And the program is windows installer not SASAMS

      Hence it is a Windows issue.

      • Hlalanathi Buthelezi says:

        Thanx I fixed Windows

      • Hlalanathi Buthelezi says:

        Dear Emisec
        We are using two networked computers,now we wish to share the SAMS data base file,so that the admin and the orincipal could work on the same file but on different PC, so how can we share the Sams data ? We are currently using the latest 15.02 patch.

  37. Vlam says:

    Hi there

    I am new to SASAMS and installed it recently for the first time. Ive downloaded all the updates and patches I could find. However, some headings are missing on it. For example I only have 12.1.11 to 12.1.18. Where would the rest best be and how do I get it?

  38. Senzo says:

    Thank you I have managed to unlock the user profiles..

  39. SENZO says:

    How to edit users details, because I want to change from principal login to administrator login, so that I will be able to archive learners. and in users preferences, maintain user profile is inactive

    • emisec says:

      Change the Profile from 0 to 7 ie Principal Management.

      Change the Password for the user “Administrator” then login as “Administrator”. you will now be able to archive learners.

      • Senzo says:

        I can’t see the option to change profile, because “MAINTAIN USER PROFILES” is inactive pls help…

      • emisec says:

        You obviously dont have the user rights to make the necessary changes. Who is the administrator? Send me the database and I will take a look at it for you and change the appropriate user rights.

  40. Annetjie Roulstone says:

    I don’t have the patch 14.3.1 the circuit manager said there is a new patch 14.1. Can I do year end transfer with the patch 14.3.0?

  41. riahattingh says:

    I’ve tried to install patch 14.1.0. It didn’t work so I had to install my previous 14.0.1. Now I have a Ls Badplaas and a Prior 14.0.1 when I log in at Sams. Now when I go into LS badplaas I have NO learner info but I have my weekly register and I have my 1st and 2nd term captured marks. When I log into the prior one I have my learner info, my weekly register is empty, and now captured marks. Please help.

    • emisec says:

      It appears that you have been working on two separate databases. Unfortunately you cannot “merge” the databases, so you will have to recapture your absentees on the database that has the learner info. It is important to regularly backup your databases and rename them with a date so that you are able to identify the current and latest database and only work on that one.

  42. Doreen Kekana says:

    I am using version 14.1.0. I have just employed a new teacher and I created a new time table. All went well except for the reports whicch cannot be exported to excell. It gives an error message. Please help.

    • emisec says:

      You will need to furnish me with the error message, however this does sound like a spread problem. Make sure you have the Spread 6.0.57 installed. Available on http://www.emisec.co.za.

      Should the error contain a missing .dll or .ocx file, all you need to do id reinstall the original CD over your current installation and everything should be working again.

      If it is the time design error, in the edusolsams folder, right click on the time design and “run as administrator”.

      Hope this sorts out your error.

  43. Nirvanan Moodley says:

    Hi, I downloaded and installed the 14.0.1 patch from the Thutong website onto my PC(windows 7) it crashed the programme. can anyone help?

    • emisec says:

      Good day

      You can install in two ways: (Original CD must be installed first, followed by the latest Patch – currently 14.0.1, after this the Spread 6.0.57 should also be installed)

      1. Install above on all client machines, but have the database in a shared folder in the Network. ie. Every client MUST use the same database.

      Works well but can be slow if there are more than 20 clients.
      Should a new Patch come out, all user machines need to be upgraded to the latest patch.

      2. Install SASAMS on the server and all clients login to the server to use SASAMS.

      Probably is more efficient way of Networking. All relative to the speed and technical specifications of your Network.
      With a new patch you only have to upgrade the one machine ie the server itself.

      Both the original CD and the latest Patch and the spread are available on the following websites:

      http://www.emisec.co.za/downloads/sasamsdownloads

      and

      http://www.thutong.doe.gov.za/Default.aspx?alias=www.thutong.doe.gov.za/administration

      I trust this will assist with your installation.

  44. Akhona says:

    My problem is with the issue of timetable, the template that we have on the system only accommodates senior phase only whilst my school also have foundation phase and the time intervals are not the same. how do we do it then?

  45. willy says:

    i need to talk to a person who is familiar with sasams especially the finance module. Can I be contacted by poeple around ladysmith. email yapha@telkomsa.net

  46. Kaylie says:

    The laptop that im using for SASAMS has had multiple problems, so our IT specialist requested us to format the laptop.

    Before i done that, i save all the programs im using (including SASAMS & our database) on our external hardrive.

    The problem is now, i want to re install SASAMS, it installs but the icon doesnt appear on the desktop and if i open it from program files, it says there is a file missing/error.

    Im not sure what is happening, do i have to get an original disk for SA-SAMS or what am i doing wrong. I also tried downloading it from thutong but the problem persists.

    Please help, I have alot of work to do regarding SASAMS and time is running out.

    Thanks, il be waiting for your reply

  48. Ria Hattingh says:

    Good day. I need a little help please. I`ve installed 13.6.1 but it doesn’t run till the end (the green line). 2. On my SASAMS 13.6.1 it shows that Gr1,2,3,4,5,6,7 wasn’t set up as school grades.3. Where do I find the transfer letters. 4. If I didn’t capture the marks last year and want to do it this year how does I go from here.

    Thank you
    Ria

    • emisec says:

      1. Installation: Make sure the original installation is done from the SASAMS CD (on the http://www.emisec.co.za website)
      Thereafter install the 13.6.1 patch
      Make sure you have installed the Spread 6.0.57
      All are available on the web site.
      2. Menu 1.2 should indicate all the grades offered by the school.
      3.Transfer Letters?
      4. Promote all learners from 2013 to their new grades 2014 (3.19), assign them to classes (3.14 and 3.15). Assign subjects to learners (12.1.15), Make sure you have assigned tasks to subjects (12.3.11)……basically start menu 12 from scratch and make sure it is completed.
