Cover Reporting

Run the Master Cover Timetable (Staff Cover) report to view cover arrangements for a selected date, or dates, and print them out for convenience. Use the report to check that cover arrangements are in place for absent teachers or to analyse cover data. The report generated displays both published and unpublished cover arrangements.

An example of the Master Cover Timetable is shown below:

The Master Cover Timetable report can be generated from the following locations:
