Cover Manager

Cover Manager - ability to select range of periods/times within a day (e.g. p1, 3 and 5) rather than having to enter them all as separate absences

If a teacher is busy period 1, 3 and 5, for example, I have to enter three 'absences' separately, with start and end times all manually input. This is a waste of time. The manage cover sheet shows all parts of the day to allow you to set cover: if...

Room Cover to include meetings scheduled to the room

Currently Room Cover Timetable in Cover Manager does not include meetings scheduled to the room being closed. It would be useful to see meetings booked into the room and then to enable rescheduling the meeting elsewhere.

Room cover - Allow two lessons to be added to one free room

We have many classes where we have to create two seperate sets but for all intents and purposes are one class taught at the same time by the same teacher. The best example of this are High Level and Standard Level IB Diploma classes. When re-roomi...

Allow email address to be added to cover notifications

We would like to be able to add administrator(s) email addresses to the cover notifications so that staff can reply if they can't do the cover. At the moment, the notifications come from a noreply email address and some staff have tried to reply w...

Email Staff of a Cover Stand Down

Changes can come in last minute, post publication. Should a cover be deleted then it would be really useful to have the covering teacher emailed about it.

Lesson Room Swap

We frequently need to switch one-off lessons between classrooms but this cannot be achieved through cover as the room needs to be closed to move the lesson out and the venue is then not available to receive the swapped lesson. It would be benefici...

Administering room cover across a long period of time

The cover manager has the ability to close rooms for specific time periods each day. If the closure is for just one day, the administrative work is relatively minimal. However, when closures extend over a longer period, the administrative workload...

Your cover section in the iTeacher app is broken

I've been told by your support that I am correct, the cover section in the iTeacher app is broken. I was then told that there is no plans to fix it which is ridiculous and that I should put it down as an "Idea". It's not an idea, please fix the fu...

Control-select in Cover Manager

Paticularly useful for the invigiation workaround, I often need to mark multiple periods as cover not required, which is inefficient in terms of 'clicks'. Ctrl-Select works well in timetable and teaching managers and would be really helpful in Cov...
