We switch timetables during our academic year (as many schools do e.g. during exam periods).
When we do that, it wipes out any historical data from the cover module, rendering the statistics meaningless.
Is there a way we could retain the stats of the previous timetable on Cover Manager?
All the data is now retained but the statistics are lost - we've just switched from one timetable to another and now we can only see the cover per day, cover per week, cover per month and cover per cycle statistics for the current timetable. Ideally we need to be able to retain all the statistics as well as the background data.
BTW - good job on retaining the specific cover data because we can use that to calculate cover statistics outside of iSAMS but it means that those managing cover need to check other stats as well those on screen before they can apply cover, making the job much more long winded.
Hi,
Thank you for your feedback. The ability to retain cover data when importing a new timetable was implemented and released in 2023. For more information and detailed instructions, please see our announcement here: Timetable Manager Update: Cover Retention.
