The ability to add exact times (e. g. 1pm-4pm) when adding a timetable suspension for a year group in Cover Manager would be really useful, for example when all students in a year are on a trip in the afternoon but are present in the morning.

Currently all covers are weighted the same, whether a 5 minute registration or a 55 minute lesson. It would help to create a fairer picture of 'load' if some periods could be scored with a different (sometimes zero) wieghting. This is how other so...

When we suspend lessons by year group (not by set), it also effects other year groups if we have a student out of their year in that class/set. Example: I have suspended Upper 6 lessons for study leave. A Lower 6 lesson showing as suspended in cov...

When a timetable is suspended e.g. Y11 go on leave on exams, it marks the room allocated to their lessons as avaliable so that these show up when allocating room changes.
