Enabling operations staff to appear available for cover
Sometimes we use Operations staff for cover. The only way I can find to include them in the list of available staff in the cover module is to mark them as teaching staff within the HR module. It would be helpful if staff could be filtered in a mor...
Ability to split the cover period into two and assign different teachers
We have hourly timetable periods but sometimes we need to split the period into two half hourly cover periods and assign different staff. This facility ensures that the relevant people are aware that they need to cover a class. Some of our staff a...
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 "Cover Note" to be able to be added to the email template for emailing out cover
It would be really helpful if additional information about the cover (that we currently include in Cover Note) could be one of the fields we can add to our email template for emailing out cover to staff. Currently this field is only viewable in th...
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...
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...
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.
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...
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.
