Allow override feature in Cover Manager - Teachers
It would be useful to have an override feature in cover manager so that we can do double swaps of teachers. We had a scenario where we wanted to take a music teacher off a timetabled supervision class to take a music class that needed cover. In es...
We are coming up against a problematic feature when it comes to rooms in iSAMS. We often have to swap timetabled classes around, but need to use the space we are moving one class from for another timetabled class to move into. This often occurs fo...
Allow Teaching Assistance to use for cover in Cover Manager

Frequently when cover is required due to part of a year group being out on a trip, we may combine classes. We couldn’t find an obvious way of combining classes and notifying teachers that this has happened. We found that we could get the same memb...
Invigilation, adhoc duties etc - Make it a quick add
We would benefit from a quick add option in the cover module. I would have the opportunity to create an "absence" add a name and the time required. It would be great for invigilation and random duties we need to cover. It would generate a cover sl...
Notifications to staff of cancelled cover arrangements and to staff and students of cancelled room closures
Staff currently only know if cover is cancelled when it falls off their timeline - a formal notification confirming that cover is no longer required would be extremely helpful. Ditto when a room closure takes place and staff and students are notif...
