Extra time in the exam module

When we print out the invigilator printouts, iSAMS rounds DOWN the extra time. This is incorrect and against JCQ rules. The time needs to be rounded UP so that the candidates get the correct amount of time added. Please see the attached.

In teacher cover view can secondary come before primary to save clicking over.

In our school, as I imagine lots of schools secondary use iSAMS for cover a lot more than primary. Would it be possible on teacher cover view for the default to be secondary as opposed to each day everyone having to click over to secondary? (i.e. ...

Consistency and Clarity Between Managing Absences and Unavailable Staff

The consistency of screens across iSAMS makes a huge difference to its useability. Likewise, providing on-screen cues as to default or currently-selected settings also makes a difference to useability. We were finding that staff marked unavailable...

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...

Flexibility with cover swaps

Morning I often find that staff within departments will cover a colleague because it is an exam class, but they then need cover for their own lesson. This has come up a few times but I am unable to do the cover on iSAMS as that person is not showi...

Allow making set changes in the future or for specific dates

Currently one can only make changes to sets and classes to take effect immediately. Allowing one to make changes in advance would be very beneficial. Or to allow class/set enrolments for specific date ranges would also help.

Mark reports as complete in bulk

When a year tutor for example wants to write one general comment for a set of reports, we tend to hard code it into our printing templates, which is not ideal, as this can change with each cycle. Instead an ideal solution would be to allow the yea...

Publish future timetables to apps

It would be good if we could have the current (live) timetable published but to also show students what future timetables are going to be (without printing)
