Unique code to identify the timetable group.

Description

Description of the timetable group.

CycleDays

Number of days in the timetable cycle.

For example, your organisation might have a:

  • weekly rotating timetable of 5 cycle days (Monday to Friday)
  • fortnightly rotating timetable of 10 cycle days (Monday to Friday, Monday to Friday)
  • rotating timetable of 7 cycle days (Monday to Tuesday the following week, restarting on Wednesday to Thursday the following week).

ActualDaysInWeek

Number of teaching days in the week.

For example, a timetable that teaches Monday to Friday has 5 teaching days.

Note: This field counts the number of days in a week, not a cycle. For example, fortnightly timetables usually have 5 days in a week. However, organisations that teach classes on Saturdays would have 6 days in a week, and organisations that do not teach classes on Fridays would have 4.

Periods

Number of periods in a day. For example, 6 periods.

MaxLoad

Maximum number of lessons that staff can be allocated per timetable cycle. For example, 25.

Used for determining staff substitution in SynWeb.
