Adding new timetable day_periods manually

Timetable day/period combinations can be entered manually, depending on the number of days and periods used at your organisation's timetable.

Note: Only 20 timetable day/period combinations can be entered at any one time.

Tip: Clear the Never Clear on Timetable Import flag on the General tab of Class Maintenance before starting; this prevents the class timetable and students from being deleted during a timetable import. See Class Maintenance - General tab.

To add timetable day/period combinations manually for one or more staff members:

1. Open the Timetable tab of Class Maintenance for the selected class. See Class Maintenance - Timetable tab.
   The Timetable tab of the Class Maintenance window is displayed.
    
2. Click .
   The Add Timetable Periods window is displayed.
   
3. Change the Timetable Group, if required.
4. Select the Staff Member who will usually be teaching on the days/periods being entered.
   
   Note: This defaults to the first staff member listed on the Staff tab.
   
   
5. Select the Room, where the class will usually be taught, from the drop-down list.
6. In the Days/Periods grid, type the Day and Period that the selected teacher will teach during the timetable period.
   
7. Click .
   The Timetable tab of the Class Maintenance window is displayed with the new entries in the grid area.
   
8. Repeat steps 4 through 7 for each other teacher that will teach the subject during the timetable period.
   
   Note: In the following example, Mr Boyd is teaching the periods on days 5, 6 and 7 while Mr Zhang is teaching the periods on days 1 and 3.
   
   The Timetable tab of the Class Maintenance window is displayed with the new entries in the grid area.
