Timetable Groups

A timetable group is a named configuration of working days and period slots. A single group can be shared across many sections — for example, one group for all primary sections and another for all secondary sections.

Before you can assign periods and build timetables, at least one group must exist.

Creating a timetable group

Go to Timetable in the school sidebar.
Click Manage Groups (the settings icon in the Timetable Group card).
In the drawer that opens, enter a Name (e.g. Primary Schedule, Secondary A/B Block) and an optional description.
Set Status to Active.
Click Add. The group is created and selected automatically.

You can create as many groups as you need for the active academic year. Group names must be unique within the year.

Configuring working days

After selecting a group, the Working Days panel appears on the Timetable page. Toggle each day of the week on or off to reflect which days that group holds classes. Changes take effect immediately.

Configuring periods

The Periods panel lists the time slots for the selected group. Each period has:

Field	Notes
Name	Display name shown on the timetable grid (e.g. `Period 1`, `Lunch`, `Assembly`).
Start Time	When the period begins (HH:MM, 24-hour format).
End Time	When the period ends. Must be after the start time.
Sort Order	Controls the top-to-bottom order of periods on the timetable. Lower numbers appear first. The form prefills the next sort order automatically.

Click the + row in the Periods table to add a new period. The start time prefills from the previous period’s end time for convenience.

Assigning a group to a section

A section must be linked to a timetable group before its timetable can be edited. Do this when creating the section, or by editing it afterwards:

Go to Sections, open the section, and click Edit.
In the Timetable Group field, select the appropriate group.
Click Update.

Each section belongs to exactly one timetable group. Multiple sections can share the same group.
