Timetable
|
When timetabling once all the groups have been created and all the pupils have been allocated to groups, the final step is to add the actual lessons by clicking the Timetable button.
First click the Create timetable button (on Basics under Build & Create) and most of the work is done for you. In theory, all you need to add is the period for each lesson.
However theory and fact can be far removed. Here are things to look out for:
- It is quite probable that using the default room, you have ended up with Games in a chemistry lab
- The system will have allocated the first teacher to teach all lessons
- You will have some occasions when you have two teachers team teaching a group but the system will only have generated one teacher per group per period.
All these problems are easily overcome. You can duplicate, alter and delete any timetable lines as you, the timetabler, sees fit. The system assumes you are the boss and will do, blindly what it is told.
If you wish to look at the timetable for a single teacher, room, group or period you can use the dropdowns at the bottom. (You can only filter by one of these at a time.) You can also use the Filter by Selection button  to filter to a single year. Click in a cell which contains the value you require, e.g. 7 for Year 7, then click the Filter by Selection button on the toolbar. To remove the filter click on the Remove filters button at the bottom of the form.
