Snaking Seats for Room and Column Layout

When setting up seating plans you can either simply number each seat or use a combination of row and column orderings. However, it is only with the simple numbering of seats that you get the snaked layout. The snaked layout is a JCQ requirement, b...

View a timetable at an earlier date in the academic year.

We have had students change/drop subjects and also changes to teacher's timetables. It would be really useful to have a date option, to roll back to an earlier date in the academic year and view their timetable.

Can the tutorials also have option to register students, and be covered using cover manager.

Currently, there is no option for teachers to register students in a tutorial. Also, the tutorials don't show in the cover timetable in cover manager, making it impossible to assign cover for tutorials when a teacher is absent. Practically, even t...

Allow staff to access bulk printing and grading matrix without access to portal publishing.

I have given our teachers access to Report printing so they can use Bulk printing as a good way of seeing who has written what in the reports and using the grading matrix. However, how do I block them from seeing the Portal Publishing

cover manager should attach the cover lesson to the cover teachers timetable so that register can be taken that way.

When a teacher is put on cover, the cover lesson should appear on their timetable so that the cover teacher can take register as they normally would.

Copying one pupil's timetable to another

It would be very convenient to be able to copy one pupil's timetable to give it to another. This would be good when a new pupil arrives during the academic year and would save entering them for a number of different classes one by one. Thanks.

Include option to see Set Codes listed alphabetically on the Create Suspension screen?

Usually, what we need to do is suspend all lessons of a class (eg 1A/En, 1A/Fr, 1A/Hi, 1A/Rs). It would be much quicker to do this if they were listed like this rather than by subject. Normally whole forms are out for a day and it's slow to scroll...

Adding More Fields to 'Locate Free Objects'

Our staff find the 'Locate Free Objects and Periods' function really useful but wonder whether the option for pupils could be enhanced to include Boarding status and date of joining - this is to enable more accurate placing of pupils for tours. Of...

Other systems have a filter that you can add data fields into the gradebook so you can filter such things as language, ethnicity, EAL. otherwise you have to match up all these extra fields which is time consuming and not necessary when all the dat...
