[bromcom] Cover - staff weightings

[panosthegreat]

At my school, cover is done by teaching staff (no unions in Saudi )

We prioritise the staff that are under their contracted hours to top of the cover list, and those on their hours to the bottom of the list. The staff that are over-timetabled don't do any cover.

Is it possible to set particular teachers to appear at the top of the cover list, based on weightings I specify individually? I suspect not, maybe in a future release

Any out the box ways to manage this aside from printing a list of teachers and their weightings and taping that to the desks of the cover supervisors?

Hi Panos

 

Is it possible to set particular teachers not to appear on the cover list? if so, could you point me in the right direction?

1. If you right click on the teachers name in the arrange cover screen you can make unavailable for cover. You can also Display Staff Cover Settings in the right click function

2. You can also go Modules>Curriculum>Staff Timetabling – Choose a member/s of staff and right click on a period and choose ‘designated cover period’ – this code is created in Config>Curriculum> Staff Non Contact and Duty Codes.

 

Is it possible to set particular teachers to appear at the top of the cover list, based on weightings I specify individually? like SIMS did

 

And is it possible to set the list of available staff to appear in any other order other than alphabetical?

1. When you go into Arrange Cover you can adapt the view by clicking on the Green + to add a new Display or the Pencil to Edit the current display and then click on the headers to sort the selection ( see screenshot below)

 

Hope this helps

Thanks, didn't think it was possible so was looking for some out the box workaround or methods other schools use to do this, but as it is possible, even better!
