How to create a timetable
Create a timetable for a period, allocate subjects and teachers to periods, and handle clash warnings.
Before you start: create class timing sets, set weekdays, and link subjects to teachers.
Create the timetable
- Click Menu → Academics → Timetable → Manage Timetable. Active timetables are listed.
- Click Create timetable at the top.

- Enter the start date and end date, then click Create.
Allocate classes
- Click Timetable allocations next to the timetable. All courses and batches within its period are listed.
- Click a course to see its batches.

- Click Manage allocations next to the batch. The grid follows the batch’s weekdays and timing set; below it are the batch’s subjects with their max weekly classes — use this as a guide.

- Select one or more periods to allocate. Selected periods are highlighted yellow.
