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...

Room cover functionality

It is sometimes necessary to move lessons from one place to another. This does not seem to be possible as to move a lesson from a room, the room needs to be "closed" which then means it cannot be used to house another lesson. This seems to me to b...

Maintain report mapping to previous report cycles from archived Gradebooks

We have noticed that once Gradebooks have been archived, which is the reasonable process to do after rolling over every year. The report mapping to previous/historical report cycles are removed. This means that all gradebook data is removed from s...

Assign multiple teachers to a lesson

I know this has been mentioned before but it would be really useful to be able to assign multiple teachers to a single lesson. Our timetable includes a number of lessons which are taught by 2 (or more) teachers. This is not limited to games lesson...

Full screen/maximise screen option needed for all iSAMS modules

With all the web browser info, filters, banners and on Gradebooks frozen info panes, the actual area of viewing info/data is significantly squashed for a normal user (most users I would guess) on a 15' laptop screen. It would be really useful to h...

Copy Pupils into other Sets without Linking

Linking Sets is awful. You need to be able to select a whole set of pupils and COPY them into other subject sets. As soon as you have a class that is not in line with "forms" then there is not a simple way to just copy them over. For example, PE w...

Notifications to staff of cancelled cover arrangements and to staff and students of cancelled room closures

Staff currently only know if cover is cancelled when it falls off their timeline - a formal notification confirming that cover is no longer required would be extremely helpful. Ditto when a room closure takes place and staff and students are notif...

Report template comment with word and character

Hi, I’d like to share an idea regarding the comment section in our report template. Would it be possible to set a limit on the number of words or characters that teachers can enter? This way, the comments will stay concise and aligned with what we...

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. ...

Add more functions to gradebook formulas - AND, OR and a way to use transpose values

We ideally need a gradebook column that calculates the TOK/EE score for IB pupils based on their TOK and EE grades. This is currently impossible because there are no AND or OR functions and it appears to be impossible to access the transpose grade...
