Able to track pupils in different sets/forms - historical and current
Pupils move from one Set to another over the academic year. Some move form group as well. I can't find a way in iSAMS that can easily track pupils movement. At the moment, we can kind of find the info in Teaching Manager > History, but it's not...
Every time the word "Maths" is used it gets flagged by the spell checker. We would like to be able to add it to a list of words that we don't want the spell checker to flag. Currently we have to raise a ticket for the iSAMS Technical Support team ...
Sending room cover notification to staff and students by default

Allow visibility of specific external exam cycles within the portals
We're currently gearing up for the January mocks, but our exams team are importing basedata for the summer exams and starting to link pupils to get their entries set up. While we want pupils to see the details around the mocks, we don't want them ...
We've noticed that archiving Gradebooks doesn't remove the parent portal publishing (but it does the report mapping) which is slightly nonsensical. This means that parent portal publishing needs to be removed from over 500 archived gradebooks. Bul...
Bulk create gradebooks from information in Teaching Manager
The data to create classes and assign teachers already exists in Teaching Manager and the timetable. It seems very labour intensive to have to do it manually.
