When managing a long-term absence in Term One, I encountered a challenge while updating the timetable and changing the primary teacher or creating new sets. Specifically, if one or more teachers are not members of the appropriate subject group, I need to add a subject teacher from the list of all teachers.
Currently, the process is cumbersome because:
No Quick Navigation: I cannot simply type a letter (e.g., "G") to jump to the first teacher whose name starts with that letter. Instead, I have to scroll extensively through the entire list.
Sorting and Display Issue: The list is sorted by surname, but the names are displayed as "First Name Surname." This mismatch makes finding teachers less intuitive and more frustrating.
To improve usability:
Enable quick navigation by allowing users to type a letter and jump directly to that section of the list.
Ensure the list is either sorted by first name (if displayed as "First Name Surname") or display it as "Surname, First Name" if sorted by surname.
These changes would significantly streamline the process and reduce frustration during timetable updates.
