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 showing as free because they would be teaching.
This would be helpful to me as the cover manager as well as the staff covering and being covered.
Thanks
As a short term measure until iSAMS can provide a solution to this, it would be really helpful if they could give us a way of flagging the occurences. Similar to marking a lesson as cover not required, but 'covered by another teacher'. Maybe with a different colour such as pale yellow. That way I could enter the absence for the covering teacher whose own lesson now needs cover, while also flagging that there is a special arrangement in place to cover the lesson of the absent teacher. Not perfect but it would be a step in the right direction and hopefully easy to implement.
