While our teacher timetable was set up in time it would be good to be able to clone a timetable to another member of staff, either for when something changes mid year, or adding to to teaching assitants.

I know this is not a simple request but it would be great in the future if iSams planned to create a Timetabler module that can plan and organize the school Timetable - I see that there are other School Management Information Systems that have the...

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...

Our old system was set up so that a teacher marked the whole class as complete, so if they had nothing to say about students they still recorded the fact that they had finished entering data for the class. Some teachers will have over 150 students...

Currently, we first created different sets, then need to click on individual set again to add the pupils to each set. It is a very tedious job, even though there is an option to import the set lists. In SIMS, the pupils allocation to each set is s...

It would be useful if when you added a member of staff as unavailable they system checked if they were already allocated to cover and alerted or removed the cover.

We have classes set according to ability across two year groups e.g. Top Set Maths from a mix 7 and 8. After seeking support we discovered that only forms can be mixed across year groups. You are able to create sets in teacher manager across multi...

On Period View in the Registration Manager module, there is a drop-down allowing you to filter the display to a particular division on iSAMS. This defaults to 'All Divisions'. However, this is not what the drop-down option is doing. You must expli...
