"What if ...?"
If you or your colleagues are proposing a change to the school's curriculum or timetable structure then it is usually a good idea to do a "What if....?" trial run in TimeTabler.
The proposed changes may be to the curriculum,
for example:
-- changing the number or style of the option blocks in Year 10,
-- changing the setting arrangements for Maths in Year 8.
Or they may be changes to the structure of the timetable cycle,
for example:
-- changing the number of periods in the day,
-- changing from a 30-period week to a 50-period fortnight.
Even if the data that you use isn't the final correct data (eg. due to staff that are yet to be appointed), a "What if...?" investigation can still give you valuable clues about the (im)possibility of the proposed changes.
