Cover and Absences on Teacher’s timelines

Routines | Home Page | Home Page Timeline Configuration

Using the Home Page Timeline Configuration functionality, it is now possible to enable the display of additional information on the My Timeline widget on the SIMS Home Page, including absence details (who is covering your lesson, reason for absence, etc.), room names and lessons for which you are scheduled to cover. This enables activities (both planned and past) to be presented more effectively on a per user basis.
It is also possible to alter the display of the My Timeline widget when displayed in expanded mode, so that either the whole week is displayed or just today.
