The steps
- 01Open Daily Cover, choose "Mark who's away", and tap the teacher: once for all day, again for the morning or the afternoon. A teacher who pressed "I'm away" in their Staff Portal already shows as "From staff", ready to add.
- 02Bell Path shows every session that needs covering, in red, drawn from the current timetable.
- 03Add the relief teacher coming in and choose "Pair them up for me", or tap a red session to choose who covers it.
- 04Choose "Publish the day", then use "Tell everyone" to send what each person needs.
How fairness is counted
Cover taken is recorded against each staff member across the term, so when two people are equally available the decision is not left to memory. The record is visible, which matters when somebody asks why they seem to be covering more than everyone else.
