Timetablers really need an Options Module, where choices can be made through the Pupil portal. Classes created could then be fed through to Teaching Manager.

It would be great if we could export the results from the 'Locate free objects & periods' tool in the wizard bar into an Excel spreadsheet format, rather than just viewing it on the screen or in print view. Thanks!

The ability to use the statement bank in the general comment section would be useful. For example: "I hope <<Firstname>> has enjoyed the activities this term" At the moment it would mean going into each pupil's comment individually and...
