Now that cover manager retains all previous cover data when switching timetables a user would expect iSAMS to be able to continue to show the correct cover per day, cover per week, cover per month and cover per cycle statistics. Having switched ou...

Hidden lessons for each student should not be reappearing every time you import a new timetable into current sets. Whole point of hiding the lessons is to keep them hidden, so registers are not affected. It generates more work for timetablers if w...

I need to credit staff with a cover period when supervising a room cover. We use classrooms for school activities where pupils need to be supervised by staff. Staff who are free of lessons are used to supervise these activities, but there is no fu...

Hello Team, It would be very helpful to have a School ID option available in the Custom Fields section of the Export Sets wizard. This addition would greatly improve the workflow when exporting sets and re-importing them back into iSAMS. Please se...
