Which file do we send and where is it?

When you authorise your census several files with CES in the middle of their filenames are created in the CES census folder.  Most of these files are reports and end with the html file extension. The file that should be submitted to CES has the extension xml and will have a name similar to this: 3903313_CES_390XX24_001.xml.

If you cannot remember the exact location of the folder containing the census files, you can find it in SIMS by going to Routines | Statutory Returns | Schools CES Census and looking for the “CES Census Folder” field at the top of the screen (you may need to click the Browse button to see it).
