How can I make somebody absent in Cover without showing the absence in Personnel?

Absences such as meetings are recorded in Cover only – The member of staff is not actually absent therefore they are not recorded in Personnel.

When adding or editing a reason for absence for Cover, in SIMS .net | Tools | Cover | Reasons for Absence, ensure that reasons are either ticked or unticked as appropriate for ‘Internal Unavailability’.

Changing the absence to ‘Internal’ does not affect records retrospectively it only applies to absences added after the change is made.
