Many schools use external packages for things like the calendar, so it would be good to have iSAMS Dashboard widgets that can reference the data from external systems, e.g. a SOCS Calendar widget to replace the iSAMS one on the default staff dashb...

Currently we list our First Aiders (and certificate expiry dates) in an MS Office document, print it out and distribute it round the school. It would be great if we could manage this through iSAMS, log details of what training course staff have do...

It would be really useful to see what a pupil's timetable was previously. I know there's the time view function but I think this only works for 2 week timetable set ups. Being able to see a pupil's timetable in a previous academic year will help s...

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...
