Timetable Generation and Updates

The teaching staff usually spends a lot of time in timetable generation and timetable management. EduSwift - School Management System captures all parameters used in creating a school timetable and automatically creates one with its timetable generation tool. This school timetable generation software also considers the availability of teachers and other resources while creating timetable. Moreover, changes can be easily made in the timetable as and when necessary depending on the availability of teachers, substitutes, students, technicians, classrooms and lessons.

Generating a timetable with EduSwift - School Management System is a five-step process involving:

• Define Entities
  Timetable generation process requires basic entity definitions. You need to define the various school entities such as campus, shifts, subjects, forms, divisions, groups, rooms and teachers.

• Configure Rules, Capacity and Time-Off Settings
  After defining the information required for timetable generation, define the rules for lessons. You need to set rules, capacity and time-off settings, in keeping with the school’s needs.

You can set the following rules:

• Timetable Generation and Verification of Resource Availability and Rules
  The system verifies the availability of all school resources and the rules defined for all school entities, Campus, Shifts, Subjects, Forms, Divisions, Groups, Rooms and Teachers. In addition, it also verifies group conflicts and performs time slot checking.

• Manual Correction of Timetable
  After the timetable is automatically generated, as per the defined rules and constrains as well as availability of all school resources, you can preview it. The system provides you the flexibility to do manual intervention including overriding some of the rules you have defined earlier in the system. You can edit, review and finalize the timetable and adjust it to meet the practical needs.
