Why Use This Feature?
The timetable automatic import feature in Synergetic extracts information directly from the ‘Timetabler’ software, eliminating the need for users to manually export files from Timetabler and import them into SynergeticOn-prem Synergetic installations use an SQL agent job to automatically read Timetabler files and import the data into the Synergetic database without requiring any user input from the Synergetic side. However, this requires the database server to be configured with Timetabler and have access to a shared location for files to be read and imported. This setup is currently not possible in a hosted environment, meaning users who already have currently use this feature set up would lose its functionality.
This solution (almost) emulates the automatic process, allowing users who have moved to a hosted environment to continue using the automatic timetable import feature.
