My Ideas: Cover Manager

Please could the drop down in the top right corner of the Manage Cover view be set to match the appearance and order of the Cycle drop down in the Reports section of Cover Manager. This would mean the current cover cycles would be at the top and s...

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 ...

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.

It would be useful if staff that know they are absent on a day due to leave or a trip can request this in cover manager and then if it gets approved it automatically updates cover manager to cover that member of staff on that day or days. This wou...

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...

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...

In HR Manager > School tab, we entered the TA settings as follows: Teaching staff = No Teaching Assistant = Yes In doing so, we realized it has a major impact on Cover Manager i.e. they no longer on the free list to do cover! Even when we grant...

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...
