d6+ Uploaded Database & SA-SAMS Static Information

Uploading an SA-SAMS database is only necessary for one of the specific reasons below, and if you do not use it for one of these reasons we would suggest you remove it as soon as possible to allow for a smooth end-of-year submission.

The d6+ Admin Year-End process will remove your uploaded database, always ensure to export, submit and back it up before that process as it will not be saved


With the current exported database you will retain the following:

Uploading an SA-SAMS database to d6+

A historical SA-SAMS only database cannot be uploaded to d6+. This functionality caters for an exported database from d6+ where information was captured in SA-SAMS in the current year and latest version and then uploaded for that information to be obtained in the next export.

My School > Compliance > Upload SA-SAMS Database

This function allows for the upload of a zipped SA-SAMS database to retain extra or additional static data (captured in SA-SAMS) in all future exported databases from the d6+ system

Once you have added all your static and/or other data on SA-SAMS you need to zip the database and follow the instructions


The database must be zipped BUT must not be in a folder then zip the folder.

If you have an uploaded database a Green tick will appear on your export page with the date and time you uploaded.  


Removing an uploaded database from d6+

There is now a “Remove” option visible to the school

When clicked it will immediately remove the database without warning so please be sure you want to remove it.
