Create Schedulestr

Introductionstr

The School Dashboard page is your starting point to create a Timetable. To generate a new Timetable, the following steps need to be done:

  1. Create a new Schedule and choose the Grade(s) for which the Schedule is being created

  2. Add Bell Times (periods) for the Schedule

  3. Add and verify Timetable Rules

  4. Generate Timetable

This page introduces you to how to create a new Schedule. The School may have a single Schedule or different Grades in the School can have different Schedules. Using SchoolPivot Scheduler, one can create multiple Schedules for the same School to support these needs.

Note

Both a School Owner and an Administrator can add Schedule to a School.

Prerequisite: To create a Schedule, you need to first create a School Profile and add School Master Data like Teachers and Subjects etc.. See Enter School Master Data for more information about how to enter School Master Data.

Creating Schedulestr

To create a new Schedule, just click the “Create Schedule” button. A Schedule can be in 3 different states while it is being worked upon - Draft, To Verify, Verified and Completed. When a new Schedule is created, it is Draft. Once Timetable Rules are entered and Verify button is clicked on the Rules page, the Schedule converts to To Verify state. Once all the verification errors are addressed, the Schedule changes to Verified state. Finally, it becomes Completed when Timetable is generated.
