Modules > Cover Planning > The substitution counter > Settings of the substitution counter

You can adjust general settings of the substitution counter via "Modules | Cover Planning | Settings...".

Count what...

In the first input block, you can define which parameters affect the substitution counter. Substitutions and special duties are added to the counter; cancellations and releases are subtracted from it. Additionally, you can select that break supervisions are counted like a substitution and that supervisions are counted half.

Time range

In the second input block you can define the time range in which shall be counted. If you select for instance "Month" then the total of the counter refers to the current month. The current month is determined by the date that is set in the calendar.

Count how...

Here you can define if you want to count the numbers of periods, the values (for that the module "Lesson Planning - Value Calculation" is required) or the actual time in hours and minutes.

Count cancellations only for absences with a reason

Here you can define if absences without a reason shall be counted or not.

Don't count

A certain substitution which would normally be counted positively, shall not be counted. Select and enter any statistical code (e.g. "n"). If you enter this statistical code in the column "Stat.Code(s)" to a substitution in the substitution window, then this specific substitution will not be counted.

Hint: Column "Counts"

In the column "Counts" in the substitution window you can see with one glance if a cancellation or a substitution is counted (positively or negatively) or not. Alternatively you can visualise this information (green = pos., red = ned.) via the button <Colour Substitutions> (<Settings>in the substitution window).

Paid substitutions

If a substitution shall not be counted because it is a paid substitution then do the following:

Example: Paid substitution

1.	At "Don't count" enter a statistical coded (e.g. "p") and activate "paid substitutions".

2.	Enter the same statistical code at the substitution in question in the substitution window in the column "Stat. Code(s)" (in our example the substitution with Arist).

3.	Such an entry affects also the substitution suggestion as the number of paid substitutions in the set time range is displayed there.

4.	This substitution is not counted in the substitution statement, it is displayed as a paid substitution (see chapter Monthly statement ).

Hint: Don't count a subject

If cancellations in a specific subject (e.g.office hours) shall not be counted to the substitution counter then tick "Do not count cancellations" (column "Not counted) at the specific subject in "Master Data | Subject".
