The right substitute first ranked 0–5
vikar-forslagsfunktionen ranks candidates 0–5 across qualifications, standby status, availability and work time — and now adds extra boost for teachers already in the subject or year-team via the allocation.
Rangerede vikarforslag — fagligt match først.
Ranked 0–5
Each candidate gets a combined score — best matches on top, one-click assignment.
Subject-allocation boost
Teachers already covering the subject in the allocation rise to the top — continuity for the class.
Year-team boost
Members of the class's year team are prioritised — they already know the pupils and routines.
Qualifications & competence
The teacher qualification register (linjefag/competence/course/secondary) feed straight into the score.
Excludes absent & overloaded
Teachers who are absent, over the annual norm or unavailable that slot are filtered out automatically.
Standby first
Standby teachers for the chosen day and slot always sit above regular candidates.

What goes into the score
The substitute suggester combines qualifications from the teacher qualification register (linjefag, teaching competence, course, secondary), standby status, availability windows and work time — and now adds subject and year-team boosts on top, so teachers already attached to the class rise first.
- Linjefag and teaching competence weigh highest
- Standby teachers for the day always sit above regular candidates
- Subject boost via fagfordelingen
- Year-team boost via team membership
Who's filtered out
The matcher automatically skips teachers who are on absence in that exact slot, have exceeded the annual norm, or hit a conflict in their availability windows. The result is clean suggestions — without you having to validate each candidate.
- Absence for that exact slot is excluded
- Teachers above the annual norm are filtered out
- Availability conflicts are respected
Hangs together with the allocation
The boost reads directly from the teacher qualification register and subject allocations. Update the allocation or a teacher's linjefag and the matcher reflects it immediately — no separate cover list to maintain.
- One source of truth: the subject allocation
- Linjefag updated in the Competence coverage tab
- No separate substitute database
