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.
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...
We frequently need to switch one-off lessons between classrooms but this cannot be achieved through cover as the room needs to be closed to move the lesson out and the venue is then not available to receive the swapped lesson. It would be benefici...
It would be useful to see in the cover manager audit, the record details that the audit refers to. Currently it is just listed with the changes to an entry number( ie XXX editied #175) but with no way of matching which teacher/lesson etc this reco...
Changes can come in last minute, post publication. Should a cover be deleted then it would be really useful to have the covering teacher emailed about it.
Paticularly useful for the invigiation workaround, I often need to mark multiple periods as cover not required, which is inefficient in terms of 'clicks'. Ctrl-Select works well in timetable and teaching managers and would be really helpful in Cov...
Prevent previous cover arrangements from disappearing when a set is assigned to a new teacher.
We had a teacher that was sick for a while and covered their lessons for several weeks. Recently, we employed a new teacher, who is taking over that teacher's classes. When we assigned this new teacher to the sets, the cover records for the previo...
Ability to print cover/re-rooming reports in advance
Ability to print cover/re-rooming reports in advance.Usually, when I close rooms for exams, I organise this in advance and circulate in case staff need equipment etc prior to their lesson, this info is also on the board in advance for students.But...
It would be great if when cover was allocated and the cover published, that it shows as pending and requires confirmation of receipt and acceptance by the covering teacher, then it can change to confirmed status. At the moment, you can publish cov...
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...
