Ability to split the cover period into two and assign different teachers

We have hourly timetable periods but sometimes we need to split the period into two half hourly cover periods and assign different staff. This facility ensures that the relevant people are aware that they need to cover a class. Some of our staff a...

Suspend Timetable for part days

We often have events which need the Timetable to be suspended for part of a day, e.g. One year group for the afternoon. We can then use 'spare' teachers to cover lessons.

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...

Administering room cover across a long period of time

Cover Manager - ability to select range of periods/times within a day (e.g. p1, 3 and 5) rather than having to enter them all as separate absences

If a teacher is busy period 1, 3 and 5, for example, I have to enter three 'absences' separately, with start and end times all manually input. This is a waste of time. The manage cover sheet shows all parts of the day to allow you to set cover: if...
