You can create rule sets to aid you in completing your National Curriculum (NC) year roll forward.
You can then switch on this rule temporarily for any other file type when you know you are importing data from the previous academic year within that import.
To get started, follow these simple steps.
Navigate to the rules
Your first step is to get to the rule set screen.
Click SysTalk, then click Maintenance.
Click Manage Sets.
Create your new rule set
You can now create the rule set that you'll use.
Click Add, then in the New field, type NC Year Roll Forward.
Click OK, then click OK.
Create your rules
Now that your rule set is ready, you need to add two rules to prevent that data from coming in to the system.

Click New Rule, then under Step 1, select the Do not import column checkbox.
Under Step 2, click the column, then click National Curriculum Year.
Click OK, then click Next.
Click Next for both Step 3 and Step 4.
In the Step 5 name field, type Do not import NC year.
Select the NC Year Roll Forward checkbox, then click Finish.
Do not import the NC year offset
Click New Rule, then under Step 1, select the Do not import column checkbox.
Under Step 2, click the column, then click National Curriculum Year Offset.
Click OK, then click Next.
Click Next for both Step 3 and Step 4.
In the Step 5 name field, type Do not import NC year offset.
Select the NC Year Roll Forward checkbox, then click Finish.
Finalise your rule set
Once you've created your rule set and rules, you'll need to finalise the set.
