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...

From time to time we get asked to "Add module X" to an existing user as most staff are unaware of how permissions in iSAMS are configured. While we can clone the basic level of permissions within the Control Panel, it means having to go through se...

Currently if yu cancel a cover, there is no email, so colleagues still think they have a cover to do, or there is confusion. If a cover is cancelled after publication, could an email be triggered?

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...

Cover Module - we understand that you can select and "manage timetable suspensions" to collapse a year and free up teachers and rooms. However we would like to be able to collapse a year, free up the rooms - but not free up the teachers. This is n...

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...

It would be helpful if disabled accounts do not show in the profile 'count' of how many people are using that profile. We do not delete some users who have done a lot of work within iSAMS, as then you lose the audit - it simply shows Unknown. The ...

When a timetable is suspended e.g. Y11 go on leave on exams, it marks the room allocated to their lessons as avaliable so that these show up when allocating room changes.

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.
