PDSAT

The Nov 9th update states there's a delay. 

We are now aiming to release PDSAT online as a complete product in a single phase, including the sampler, in mid/late December, and will continue to provide updates over the coming weeks.

Thanks Ruth

Hopefully we will hear something on the next ESFA Update.

:)

I was at a conference with the ESFA yesterday and they said it would be released next week.

As Chloe says above DfE said yesterday that it would be released to the pre registered users next week.  Apparently all existing features are present, but they have added some BI chats/reports too.

Thanks both

I missed the deadline to pre-register but the Update says I can do that as soon as it goes live. Hopefully it won't take them to long to review and approve (think i read 48 hours somewhere?).

Thanks again for your help, much appreciated

Ben :)

Has anyone had any further information this week? I was hoping that the roll out would be linked to yesterday's View Your Education Data update in some way but I've not heard anything...

I've had my account verified today for the pdsats online and followed all the instructions but I can't seem to get the reports to run. I've uploaded following the instructions but it keeps failing. Anyone else?

Hmm I haven't received any emails about setting up an account yet although I did pre-register for PDSAT, hopefully something will come through soon...

Hi both

Not seen any updates either??? I've just e-mailed the service desk to see if they can tell me anything and will post their reply.

Melanie: Have you got a website address where you login please as I can't even find that? Just wondering if I can at least register for an account as we missed the original registration window.

I've got a horrible feeling PDSAT isn't going to be available for quite some time!

@... you had to pre register for the account. I had an email from a no reply email address. I had to go through multiple factor verifications so I can't really even give you the email address as it's pointless without having the account. I'm sure they're getting round to everyone but so far, I've only been able to upload R01. Good luck everyone!

Hi 

Just found the emails in my junk folder and managed to register so it may be worth checking there. The site is https://pdsat.co.uk/

Kind regards

Ibrahim

The ESFA answered my timeline query saying that they'd roll out 'over the coming days' to pre-registered organisations only. I think they invite one user per registered organisation - we attempted to pre-register more than one user but that didn't fly. And seeing as our user has gone on holiday already... 😔

I pre-registered, but heard nothing :(

I pre-registered also but have not heard anything :(

Hi all

Got the reply below from the service desk which doesn't really tell us anything we didn't already know. I did register using the site link Ibrahim posted above (thanks Ibrahim) so that is a step forward for us.

Think we just need to wait and keep an eye on our junk e-mail folders and the ESFA Updates.

Many thanks

Ben

Good morning

Any updates to the PDSAT online service will be given through ESFA Update - the service is expected to be live by the end of this month, but there have been some hold-ups so this is not a definite date.

Hi All. We pre registered but have still heard nothing....The above post says the website is now live so how do we sign in??

Many thanks

Hi Melissa Clark 

I had the same issue, therefore i contacted them on the email, and they told me they had no record of my registration, and i should re-register.  I did so on Thursday, and I had logins by when i came to work on Monday Morning.

Hope this helps

Dear All,

I am also having a problem accessing PDSAT as I tried to register on the PDSAT website https://pdsat.co.uk/ about 7 times since December- I keep on getting this message

"The organisation details you have provided have already been used to create a PFDSAT Organisation. Please request a user account from your Organisation Administrator"

I had a similar problem: someone else at my organisation had nipped in and set themselves up as the Organisation Administrator (for PDSAT purposes). Email the helpdesk and ask them to verify who they've got listed. Or perhaps ask around your MIS or funding colleagues; someone might own up to it.

Thank you Ruth. We are a small organisation and only 2 of us use PDSAT - I spoke to that person and she has not got any login instructions.

I have emailed both supports - let us see how long we have to wait - so far, we have been waiting for 2 months.

I too registered but am yet to receive the log in details. Have been contacted today to say my login is still with the EFSA to approve. Hopefully I should hear back in time for my 50th birthday (I'm currently 42).
