Consistency and Clarity Between Managing Absences and Unavailable Staff

Invigilation, adhoc duties etc - Make it a quick add

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...

Sync Cover Manager with Google Calendar

Room cover functionality
