School timetable and teacher substitution
Build each class’s timetable once, period by period, and every teacher’s own timetable follows from it. Students see today’s periods on their app dashboard; teachers see where they need to be next.
When a teacher is absent, the office assigns cover for each of their periods. The substitute sees the extra period in their app, so nobody has to run around the staff room with a printed sheet.

Does JCABS generate the timetable automatically?
You build the class timetables period by period; JCABS then produces each teacher’s timetable from them and handles substitutions when someone is away.
How does substitution work?
When a teacher is marked absent or has approved leave, their periods for that day are listed for cover. The office assigns a substitute for each period, and the substitute sees it in their app.
