Cover Manager

We cannot currently do a room swap because presently a closed room cannot be re-roomed into. If closed rooms went into the scheduled list, for example, this would be possible.

Our students who are on reduced timetables go to the library to work. Usually this is supervised by the dedicated librarian but when she is absent, it would be useful to add her absence to the Cover Manager to allocate the staff covering her. She ...

Most schools will have an idea how many classes they want each staff member to teach. It would be great if this could be stored in Teaching Manager or Timetable manager. It could be really helpful in Cover Manager, working out who should be first ...

It will be helpful to allow schools to have the options to assign covers for any free periods throughout each day. Not just the period which are timetabled. As there might be other events or duties that are not found in timetable.
