Can staff unavailabilities be entered for less than a full day in Cover Manager (i.e. Sessions 4–6 only), and can those sessions automatically flow through to the Cover Timetable as requiring cover? Additionally, could you please confirm whether t...

It'd be useful if Cover Manager retained the ability to view a teacher’s timetable with a "View Timetable" button after they've been selected as the cover teacher. Currently, once a teacher is selected for a cover lesson, the option to view their ...

It would be great if we can design what content appears on the covered and covering slips. At the moment this is not editable and comes with some information we would like to eliminate like the name of the current week which does not always align ...

It would be very helpful if you change a cover allocation AFTER you have published the cover that it notifiies the allocated cover teacher that they are no longer required, ie the cover has been cancelled (as it currently does not and you have to ...

Frequently when cover is required due to part of a year group being out on a trip, we may combine classes. We couldn’t find an obvious way of combining classes and notifying teachers that this has happened. We found that we could get the same memb...

We would benefit from a quick add option in the cover module. I would have the opportunity to create an "absence" add a name and the time required. It would be great for invigilation and random duties we need to cover. It would generate a cover sl...

It would be useful if staff that know they are absent on a day due to leave or a trip can request this in cover manager and then if it gets approved it automatically updates cover manager to cover that member of staff on that day or days. This wou...

Staff currently only know if cover is cancelled when it falls off their timeline - a formal notification confirming that cover is no longer required would be extremely helpful. Ditto when a room closure takes place and staff and students are notif...
