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...

ISAMS Form for staff to apply/inform for planned absence

Currently for planned absences (CPD etc) staff have to complete a paper form with all the necessary information which then gets manually entered into the Cover Manager module. It would be useful if there was functionality on ISAMS for staff to sub...

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...

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.

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. ...

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...

Sending room cover notification to staff and students by default

When publishing cover, the teacher cover boxes are ticked for 'Send to covering teachers / Send to covered teachers' by default but with room cover you have to remember to tick the box for 'Send to coverering rooms / Send to covered rooms' every d...

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.
