When running the scheduler with “keep/skip” (to balance genders for example) the scheduler does not appear to honor scheduling exclusions unless the students are scheduled at the same time.

COVID - SMS - Planning Options
Our schools are requesting different options for SMS Scheduling that can be loaded/planned on the fly.
Since we do not know what the future will bring, our schools need to plan in SMS for
Plan A ( on-campus 'traditional' scheduling )
Plan B ( on-campus limited classroom attendance 'social distancing )
Plan C ( Distance-Learning remote-campus scheduling )
Plan ..?Currently they are creating a schedule, saving it, wiping SMS and re-building or the different options.
If there is a way to make this easier, it would be greatly appreciated.

Allow "Next School" to determine course request offerings.
Currently, course request offerings are determined by the student's current school. This does not work well in cases where the students are moving across a school grade level boundary. In casess where there is not a 1:1 relationship between feeder schools and next schools, students have to use generic course requests, if they can use them at all.

Scheduling Course Request Letter to Parents: support print different versions of letter
Currently, in order to support multiple translations, the Course Request Letter Text Editor allows multiple versions of the letter to be saved. But in order to print different versions, each one is associated with a different STU.CL. The customer would like to be able to save multiple versions of the letter, then select which letter to send to which student(s) (based on a criteria other than Correspondence Language).

Locator Card - Add option to print 1 per page
For the student schedule, locator cards report, have an option to print a single student on a page, so the bottom half of the locator cards can be blank so other information can be included, such as a map of the campus. Currently this can be done with workarounds such as exporting to PDF and manipulating the margins before printing, but a built-in solution would be nice. Another workaround is currently to use the Student Class Schedule report which already prints one student per page.

Make hand scheduling easier and quicker
In CS you could quickly click on the courses in the alternate tab and view what period it is available. Now having to go to the SMS Board and filtering it either by course ID or period is so time consuming. From a schedulers point of view .net is far less efficient than it was in CS. There are several features but this one is grueling!

Improve the View of Classes in Edit mode
It is so hard to see the results of the changes you have made unless you click Save. I find it really hard to read. I add a class from View MST and it puts it at the bottom of the list rather than in period order. t Then to compound the problem, on the SSS side, you can’t even click the sections. You are forced to use View MST -which actually is OK with me. I love View MST, but the fact that the two systems are now so different is confusing.

Teacher Page - Display Co-Teachers to MST and SMS Tabs
When a teacher is co-teaching a section, there is nothing on the MST tab on the teacher screen to indicate that. Unless you know the teacher is co-teaching a section, there is no way to know the teacher is teaching, or has any sections assigned to them. There should be an indicator.

Scheduling Groups
Have scheduling groups (not the way the currently work where you have to tag EVERY student with a scheduling group) but identify a group of students that need to go into a specific section and give those students priority into that matched section and allow other students to randomly fill the remaining seats. Currently we have to manually put those students in a section and manually lock them before running the scheduler.
