We have various divisions on our iSAMS instance which generally run their own cover. One of our schools wants to add a message along the lines of "If you are unable to do this cover lesson please email <email address>. We've had to say no as...

It would be REALLY helpful if the period timings were able to be on the cover slips please. Many thanks, Laura

To be able to run a report on a parent to see what messages they have opened and what they haven't as currently we can only do it by individual message or see the last 3 messages sent to them.

We would benefit from a quick add option in the cover module. I would have the opportunity to create an "absence" add a name and the time required. It would be great for invigilation and random duties we need to cover. It would generate a cover sl...

Morning I often find that staff within departments will cover a colleague because it is an exam class, but they then need cover for their own lesson. This has come up a few times but I am unable to do the cover on iSAMS as that person is not showi...
