Scheduling Information

The Scheduling Information window allows you to control the configuration of your Scheduling System. Parameters controlled by this window include: number of periods per day, number of days per week, number of terms (currently limited to 4), number of periods printed on student schedules, number of days printed on student schedules and day names.

Note: Terms scheduled and Periods Printed cannot be modified by the user. Periods printed can be changed by Technical Support.

Note: When modifying the Master Schedule Day Numbers are used, however, when Student Schedules are viewed or printed Day Abbreviations are used.

Follow the instructions to modify your Scheduling Setup.

Steps

1. Click on the Setup Menu and select Scheduling.
2. From Scheduling select Scheduling Information.
3. Click in the Periods Scheduled field and select the number of periods per day in your school. Remember that you may want to count lunch as a period.
4. Click in the Days Scheduled field and select the number of days per week in your school. If you use a rotating schedule you may want to only have two days.
5. The Terms Scheduled field is set to 4 and cannot be edited in this version of the program.
6. The Periods Printed field is configured by Technical Support when you order your system. To change it, call our tech support line and we will send you and update either via e-mail or on disk.
7. Click on the Days Printed field and select the number of days to print on schedules. Some schools schedule 5 days but only print the first 2 because the schedule repeats after that.
8. When users are adding courses to student schedules the program warns them if they are exceeding the maximum seating in the class, but allows the user to override the maximum. The Override Max Enrollment check box allows this override when checked. When unchecked, users must go to the Master Schedule and change the number of seats for a course to add the student.
9. The Day Names section of the screen allows you to rename the days so they print appropriately on the student schedule. Days in our system are numbered and are referred to by number in the Master Schedule, however, Student and Teacher schedules will use the Day Abbreviation if there is one. Type the name and abbreviation to be used on schedules.
10. Click OK to save your changes.
