Single-lesson substitution

A single-lesson substitution assigns a substitute to one single lesson affected by a teacher absence. It is set up in the absence's substitution management panel.

This mechanism does not move the lesson, does not create a notification by itself and does not offer several cancellation scenarios. It adds a substitute to the lesson concerned; the absent regular teacher remains visible as the substituted teacher.

Access

1. Open the Teachers tab of the Absence management module.
2. On the absence concerned, click Substitute management.
3. In the list of affected lessons, use Assign a substitute on the lesson to cover.

The panel shows the lessons covered by the absence and the substitution rules already defined.

Effect of a single-lesson substitution

• The chosen substitute is assigned only to that lesson.
• The classroom, the class, the date and the time of the lesson are not changed by this action.
• The single-lesson substitution takes precedence over the general substitution rules of the same absence.
• If no substitute is assigned, the lesson remains affected by the teacher's absence.

Choosing the substitute

The selection list is based on the teachers available for the time slot concerned. Check manually that the choice is consistent with the subject, the site and the school's internal organization before confirming.

Removing a single-lesson substitution

If a single-lesson substitution was added by mistake, use . The lesson then falls back to the applicable long-absence rule, or remains without a substitute if no rule matches.
