About Emerge

“I have found Emerge invaluable when meeting parents. I can show them behaviour, achievement and attendance information, when we are talking and looking up other relevant information it is immediate. It is great for taking registration on-the-go!"

Groupcall Emerge gives key staff within your school secure access to your MIS data anywhere, anytime. Emerge Mobile is the companion app to Emerge Desktop, allowing you to perform a variety of common tasks on the move, including:

• Attendance registers: take session (AM/PM) and/or lesson registers.
• Dinner registers: primary schools can record dinner choices during morning registration.
• Fire registers: take a quick and simple fire register - know instantly who is missing and should be there.

• Behaviour: record behaviour incidents; record who, what, where, when and why – and include photographic and video evidence to upload to your MIS (where available).
• Achievements: record good behaviour, significant achievements or other events and include pictures of the achievement to upload to your MIS (where available).

• Assessment: record assessment marks against marksheets anywhere, anytime.
• Assessment without levels: record progress towards outcomes with the new assessment without levels (i.e. programmes of study) from your device.

• Student details: assess a student’s record to review their timetable, attendance history, behaviour events and more.
• Staff details: access limited staff details, including timetables.

• Review a range of summary reports, or see how your school is performing against its KPIs using the ‘Today’ screen.
• Help me: raise the alarm to an emergency situation such as a poorly child, by sending an emergency broadcast to other staff as SMS or email.
• Messenger integration: send a message to an individual or group of parents directly from the app (requires a subscription to Groupcall Messenger).

Data updates are written to the school MIS immediately, or as soon as you return to WiFi or mobile data* coverage. *(Emerge will use your device’s standard data allowance to fulfil this, if enabled).

“Emerge has revolutionised the way we take registers. It is really beneficial to the efficient running of the school with all information at your fingertips.”

What can I do with Emerge Mobile?
• Take registration wherever you are: on a school trip, in a temporary classroom, on the sports field – anywhere. No paper printouts required!

• Record accurate dinner registers every day at the same time as normal AM registration – no extra effort. Proven to save primary schools THOUSANDS of pounds per year just by reducing waste.

• Record behaviour and achievement events and capture the evidence in a snap using your device’s native hardware.

• Access student details wherever you are: have medical information securely to hand when on a trip, or emergency contact details should the worst happen.

• Record assessments whenever you need for any marksheet – perfect for the school field, in the staff room or at home!

• See a range of summary reports conveniently filtered by groups of interest; anytime, anywhere - including:
--- Daily and yearly attendance.
--- Behaviour and achievement events by type, activity, location and status.
--- A list of students with birthdays for today.

• Review individual students' attendance summaries for early intervention and to reduce absenteeism: improve the speed and convenience of taking registers, make missing students quicker to identify and act upon, and spot patterns of absence - proven to help stamp out persistent absence.

We have extensively improved Emerge’s data connection to the server and your MIS. This includes new tools and indicators telling you when a data connection is established, when you have saved data to write back, and allows you to see the status of your write-backs and databases, including tools to test or diagnose these. Behind the scenes too have been improvements to the database syncs and the robustness of the connections.

Bug fix for iOS6

•Data Sync Speed Greatly Improved: Taking advantage of new iOS technology, as well as building in background sync to update school data when the app is closed, Emerge Mobile app for iOS is now significantly faster than before. The most common feedback we have about Emerge Mobile is the waiting for data to sync with the school MIS. Now, Emerge Mobile starts to sync data the moment you log in (while you are entering your PIN), reducing the time you are waiting.

•Background Sync: Taking this improvement one step further, Emerge Mobile will now continually update school data in the background even while the app is closed, meaning that once up and running, you will never have to wait for the data sync again! Background sync is optional, and can optionally be used over WIFI only or also 3G/4G (depending on your device capabilities and preferences. Using Mobile Data will use any data allowance on your device plan).

•We have added enhancements to the way the app downloads data - if you are going over an external connection (service bus) and happen to be on school WiFi, Emerge will download data over the most efficient route. All seamlessly and taking advantage of the latest enhancements to iOS background sync. If you are not on school WiFi the data will still download for you, and to make it more reliable we have made the app prevent your device from locking whilst sync takes place as this could cause an error in the past.

•Behind the scenes, we have worked to remove a number of bugs as well as rebuilt the data connection system with your school MIS to make Emerge Mobile as fast and efficient as possible.

What's coming:
•3D Touch: Using iOS 3D Touch capabilities, you can now jump right to the Emerge screen you need from the Apple home screen – jumping to ‘Take Attendance’, ‘Record Behaviour’, ‘Record Achievement’ and ‘Help Me’ in a single click. 3D Touch facility is dependent on your device capabilities. This feature in the app will be enabled in the next Emerge server update which is due in the next month.

May 27, 2016
We have fixed some bugs, made preparations for functionality being released in the future and added a few new features:
- TouchID support added; unlock Emerge using your finger print instead of a pin on supported devices;
- Further speed enhancements - we're continuing to improve Emerge speed in each version that we release.

- Preparation for the summer update of Emerge 5, which will include the following features:
- Programmes of Study: Emerge will support the entry of your Programmes of Study (PoS)* marks from all the schemes of work and markbooks available to you in SIMS.

* Please note, as with all updates to Emerge, some features may be dependent on an update to your server.

Apr 13, 2015
• Microsoft Active Directory Authentication is now available.
- Staff can now log in using their regular school (AD) username and password.
- Requires configuration, contact us for more information.

• Speed Enhancements
- We’ve done it again… The Emerge structure file is now 10 times smaller and therefore faster to load. We hope you enjoy the performance enhancements that this brings.
• Dinner Registers
- We’ve made the whole process of taking the normal morning register AND the dinner register easier; once enabled for Emerge, the morning register allows you to do BOTH at the same time, and write the appropriate marks back to SIMS (requires the SIMS Dinner Money module to work).
• Fire Registers
- The unique offering of this new features is that, in the event of a fire (real or drill) or other emergency, Emerge presents you with a single student per screen and allows you quickly to take your register visually when in a potentially chaotic situation.
• Help Me button
- An emergency alerting facility to be used in the event a staff user gets into difficulties inside or outside the classroom, in just a couple of clicks!
• Assessment Write back
- We have now furthered Emerge’s functionality by adding the ability for staff to record assessment directly in Emerge for write-back to SIMS.
