Ability to change a student's timetable in advance
It would be so useful to have the ability to make class changes in advance of the event so that it doesn't have to be done on the day. I know other IMS systems allow this and the change automatically applies on the date selected. Class lists can t...
Grant users the ability to add their own 'Special Arrangements' to the External (and Internal) Exams module
I know that the new in-built SEN register (as part of Student Registers) does integrate with the Internal and External Exams Manager modules, which is certainly a step in the right direction. However, it still does not provide the functionality ne...

Incomplete reports to be included in Grading Matrix
I am sure there used to be a tick box that allowed us to include Incomplete reports in the grading matrix? Has that been taken away? For example, we are now collecting end of year reports. There was an earlier deadline for teachers to complete the...
Copy sets from a current student for a new student.
When a new student joins a school, we often have to add them to every subject set manually, one at a time (for linked sets, at least once in one of the linked sets). Most if not every time, we already know a student with the exact subject set comb...
Similar Features on Internal Exam Manager as External
All the functions in External Exams Manager apart from the link to exam boards are equally as useful to be used in Internal Exams, including publication of TTs, seating plans, candidate cards, access arrangements, results for former students etc. ...
It would be great to have 2 wizards that walked you through the rollover one would be for form groups a list of current forms and which form group they are mapped against for the students to promote into. The other would be similar in that you cou...
