Bromcom: Transferring Assessment data to Insight

To transfer assessment data from Bromcom to Insight, you’ll typically export the data from Bromcom as a CSV file, edit it as needed, and then import it into Insight.

! We would recommend downloading one year group at a time as running by whole school may create some errors !

1. Export from Bromcom:

1. • In Bromcom, navigate to Modules > Assessment > View/Amend Assessment Data.

Important Considerations:

• Formative vs. Summative Assessments:

Insight can import summative assessments (like teacher assessments and test scores) but not formative assessments against objectives.

• Historical Data:

You can transfer historical data, including summative assessments, into Insight, according to Insight Tracking.

• Data Formatting:

Ensure the spreadsheet format in Bromcom is compatible with Insight’s import requirements.

• Data Cleansing:

Before importing, it’s recommended to cleanse the data to ensure accuracy and consistency.
