I was trying to adjust parameters for specific teachers in cover manager. I want some teachers to cover multiple subjects or lessons in the same period and some to cover only one class in one period and then not be available for cover elsewhere to...

Some of the sections in cover manager like department of teacher or role aren't needed. Instead could we get the teachers timetable loaded so we don't need to click to open it. It would be faster so see at a glance.

It is sometimes necessary to move lessons from one place to another. This does not seem to be possible as to move a lesson from a room, the room needs to be "closed" which then means it cannot be used to house another lesson. This seems to me to b...
