Making and maintaining timetable

Top  Previous  Next

 

There are two ways of making timetables:

manually and
with automatic generation.

 

Timetables are maintained in the same manner as they are manually made.

 

Maintaining a timetable consists of many different things such as inserting, changing, deleting and viewing schedules, finding unallocated turns, viewing occupancy etc.

 

There are four manual ways of making and maintaining the timetable. Each way has its own advantages, depending on your current needs. You can make or maintain a timetable via:

 

Main workspace

The main workspace is made for maintaining the timetable. By using different views of the timetable, you can easily maintain the timetable.

 

Inserting a course

Usually you insert courses when you have already inserted all other data (programs, subject areas, groups, lecturers, rooms and students): therefore, it is very convenient to insert the course schedule through the course itself.

 

Viewing unallocated turns

Find unallocated turns is very convenient for finding unallocated turns and their scheduling into the timetable.

 

Viewing occupancy

       When you have already inserted a part of the timetable, you can view when lecturers, groups and rooms are available and make schedule for them at the same time.

 

 

For a quick review of all rooms use View rooms from the menu.

 

View lecturers shows occupation of lecturers and theirs blocked and preferred terms.

 

For a quick review of all conflicts in the timetable use View conflicts from the menu.

 

In some cases you might want to create more than one schedule entry at the same time and in the same room. To find out more about this topic, see overlapping schedules.
