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...
Gradebooks - expand "Available Characteristics" columns to include Class, Pupil Resgisters
Current "Available Characteristics" to include more options to add in as columns in a Gradebook. We would like Class/Set name and designated/chosen pupil registers such as Disadvantaged.
Amend the School Year in School Terms so that it shows as a true academic year, i.e. 2023/24, 2024/25? At present, the box will only allow 4 digits to be entered and displaying 2024 for a whole school year is confusing.

This year we had to assign codes to our rooms which are different than their original names, but our students and staff are used to using the original names. When I publish cover and room closure cover it displays the code instead of the name whic...
