Lesson Room Swap

We frequently need to switch one-off lessons between classrooms but this cannot be achieved through cover as the room needs to be closed to move the lesson out and the venue is then not available to receive the swapped lesson. It would be benefici...

Search for free room by building

Often when searching for a free room in a specific period, we have an idea of which building we would prefer. It would be great if we could have the option to search in a specific building, or perhaps just to see the search results sorted by build...

Update academic reports after the printing deadline or portal publishing
