It would be useful if staff that know they are absent on a day due to leave or a trip can request this in cover manager and then if it gets approved it automatically updates cover manager to cover that member of staff on that day or days. This wou...

Morning I often find that staff within departments will cover a colleague because it is an exam class, but they then need cover for their own lesson. This has come up a few times but I am unable to do the cover on iSAMS as that person is not showi...

In HR Manager > School tab, we entered the TA settings as follows: Teaching staff = No Teaching Assistant = Yes In doing so, we realized it has a major impact on Cover Manager i.e. they no longer on the free list to do cover! Even when we grant...
