- Recording test barcode ID
- Simultaneous use by staff
- Filtering lists by year group, tutor group or similar categories (including children to follow up from a positive test)
- Reporting at pupil level
- Anonymised reporting at school level: heatmaps for clusters or other warning signs
- Managing on-going testing for specific groups or pupils
- Importing and exporting data via CSV file.
- Reporting to Public Health and other bodies, as may be required
