When a teacher is absent we would like to be able to use a scheduled teacher to cover their lesson and then cover the scheduled teacher's lesson with another staff member

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 - 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...

Switching to a new timetable loses all previous cover data in Cover Manager

Cover Manager indicated lessons with more than one teacher

We have a number of lessons on our timetable where there is more than one teacher allocated to a set - e.g. the lesson is team taught, one teacher is shadowing the other, they alternate taking the lesson, or use a breakout room. If one of those te...

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...

Automatic Cover Allocation

It would be good to have automatic allocation of cover while once absence can be logged. Of course this can be set while with a proper algorithm which will first choose teachers in the same department and also assign cover based on the number of t...
