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...

Please can we have a warning when our session is about to timeout, providing the ability to be able to stay logged in (like Biostore). It's frustrating for schools to be actively using the system, for it to suddenly time out.

We frequently need to switch one-off lessons between classrooms but this cannot be achieved through cover as the room needs to be closed to move the lesson out and the venue is then not available to receive the swapped lesson. It would be benefici...

It would save time every day if the staff listing under the free tab in the cover module was listed alphabetically.
