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...

We switch timetables during our academic year (as many schools do e.g. during exam periods). When we do that, it wipes out any historical data from the cover module, rendering the statistics meaningless. Is there a way we could retain the stats of...

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...

We call this Daisy Chaining. All our teachers, on top of a specialism take interest or social classes (e.g. PSE, Citizenship) and when a Teacher is absent in their own department, They take the cover as a priority which means the "Other" class nee...

The ability to assign invigilators to the exams on both modules, and this linked to Cover Manager so it can be assigned there and shows up on teachers timetables on iSAMs.
