Adding a New Staff Absence

Arranging Cover for Lessons

Select the Manage Cover tab and select the Teacher Cover Timetable on the right-hand menu. The current date will be displayed by default so use the arrow or calendar icon to change the date if required.

Click on a lesson that requires cover (lessons requiring cover are red, covered lessons are green, lessons, where the teacher is not absent, are blue). Click on your selected teacher under the Free tab to cover the lesson (click on +Cover Options if you need to change the room). Click Save Cover or Save Cover & Next to arrange the cover for another lesson.

Publishing Cover

In the Manage Cover tab, select Publish Cover for Today from the right-hand menu. Complete the sections displayed and click Preview Cover if you want to check coverslip messages before you publish them. Click Publish Cover and a Publication Report is displayed for your records.
