Sharing with staff

What staff can see and change

What teachers see in the staff portal and what they can do there. Teachers get their own week and a way to ask for changes. Editing the timetable stays with the planner.

What a teacher sees

Their own timetable, duties and planning time.
Changes for the day, including cover and wet day supervision.
Their time-in-lieu position and duty swap history.

What a teacher can do

Request a duty swap with a colleague.
Submit a time-in-lieu claim.
Set their own notification preferences.
