Defining requirements

Here you can define different master data elements which need to be considered in scheduling. These are time request regarding classes, teacher, subjects and rooms, for individual subjects you can define that they can take place several times a day (e.g. Monday, first period and Monday, third period)

Time requests

You can enter time requests either directly via the start screen of the scheduling tool or via the button on the left.

Select from the list of master data (e.g. 1a) one element and define in which unit of the day which time request should apply. The example below for class 1a shows that from period 1 to period of 5 the class must have lessons by all means, in period 8 and on Friday afternoons they shall never have any lessons.

In this example teacher DC has his day off on Wednesdays and if possible no lesson should take place in the first period.

 According to the same principle you can schedule time requests for subjects and rooms.

Subject several times a day

You can define here if a subject can be scheduled several times a day.

If it is permitted that e.g. DLS (D= German/L=reading/S=writing) takes place several times a day (e.g. Monday in the first, third and fourth period), then select the subject (DLS), check the box ‘several times a day' and click on <Save>.
