You can choose exam as a course type and insert it in the timetable in the same manner as a course.

 

You can insert two special signs in the course types:

_EQ_ (e.g. "Lecture_EQ_")

This sign means that the automatic generation will insert all course types with this sign in the same time slot (overlays),  in rooms which are defined for the particular course type. Allocation in the same time slot will be executed for all course types with the sign "_EQ_". For the use of this sign you have to define the preferred room.

The first example for this sign is a room that can be divided into two rooms. In this case two rooms must be inserted. If the course takes part in a big room (composed of two small rooms), two course types are inserted in the "composed" room.

The second example are videoconference lectures where all course types must be scheduled in the same time slot, with the same lecturer but in the different rooms.

_BL_ (e.g. "Lecture_BL_", "Tutorial_BL_")

This sign is used for consecutive course segments. This means that course types with this signs are scheduled (with automatic generation) in consecutive time slots -  immediately one after another. It allows you to always schedule tutorials immediately after lectures. Consecutive course segments are executed only for the current course.
