Note: This article is mainly relevant to Data Managers. The Import MTG feature is not currently supported for schools with Arbor MIS.
Optimise your tracking by importing Minimum Target Grades (MTGs) for each year group from your MIS to Pupil Progress. This article is a step-by-step guide to importing MTGs via sync.
Import MTGs for each year group
To import MTGs from your MIS into Pupil Progress:
Hover over My School in the top menu and select Import MTG.
Click on the IMPORT FROM *YOUR MIS* tab.
Under Configuration, type in any keywords used in aspects relating to MTGs on your MIS (e.g. FFT, MTG, Target, Target Grade), and press Enter.
Once you're done, click Save and a green pop up message will appear in the bottom left corner of the page to confirm aspects import has been scheduled. This will take a few minutes to be processed. Once you refresh the page, you'll be able to see how many aspects have been found from your MIS.
Head to the Import MTGs tab on the same page, and select the year group you would like to import targets for. All trackers which have been set up with synced classes for the year group will appear below.
Type in the same keywords into the Keywords in all your aspects field and press Enter.
You can then click the Filter by Aspect Name field in any tracker and select the relevant aspect for that subject tracker (e.g. Biology Target).
Tick the box next to Resync Minimum Target Grades on selected trackers, or choose select all at the top.
Finally, click the blue button Add MTGs to your trackers. A green pop up message will confirm that the MTGs import has been scheduled, and the Last Sync status will change to pending.
Once the import is complete, the Last Sync status will update to the current date and you'll be able to select Download Report for each tracker. This will download an XLS file containing two tabs: MTG - Correct and MTG - Incorrect.
If MTGs are listed under Incorrect, this could be for a number of reasons; perhaps no MTGs have been recorded yet on your MIS, or the grade type your school is using may be an alternate value to those used in Pupil Progress. In this case, reach out to our Onboarding team for further support.
💡 Some points to note:
MTGs will not resynchronise automatically, they need to be resynced manually within the Import MTGs area.
The import MTG process will need to be redone following an academic year migration.
