It would be great if we can design what content appears on the covered and covering slips. At the moment this is not editable and comes with some information we would like to eliminate like the name of the current week which does not always align ...
It would be very helpful if you change a cover allocation AFTER you have published the cover that it notifiies the allocated cover teacher that they are no longer required, ie the cover has been cancelled (as it currently does not and you have to ...
