Invigilation, adhoc duties etc - Make it a quick add
We would benefit from a quick add option in the cover module. I would have the opportunity to create an "absence" add a name and the time required. It would be great for invigilation and random duties we need to cover. It would generate a cover sl...
In teacher cover view can secondary come before primary to save clicking over.
In our school, as I imagine lots of schools secondary use iSAMS for cover a lot more than primary. Would it be possible on teacher cover view for the default to be secondary as opposed to each day everyone having to click over to secondary? (i.e. ...
We often have events which need the Timetable to be suspended for part of a day, e.g. One year group for the afternoon. We can then use 'spare' teachers to cover lessons.
Consistency and Clarity Between Managing Absences and Unavailable Staff
The consistency of screens across iSAMS makes a huge difference to its useability. Likewise, providing on-screen cues as to default or currently-selected settings also makes a difference to useability. We were finding that staff marked unavailable...

It is sometimes necessary to move lessons from one place to another. This does not seem to be possible as to move a lesson from a room, the room needs to be "closed" which then means it cannot be used to house another lesson. This seems to me to b...
Notifications to staff of cancelled cover arrangements and to staff and students of cancelled room closures
Staff currently only know if cover is cancelled when it falls off their timeline - a formal notification confirming that cover is no longer required would be extremely helpful. Ditto when a room closure takes place and staff and students are notif...
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...
We use Cover Manager in iSAMS to allocate teachers for cover lessons. All our teachers use Google Calendars. They export the timetable from iSAMS to create their Google Calendar. They then add any meetings, or events in to Google Calendar as and w...
