Adding Teachers in TimeTabler

Add a new Teacher

  Q.    I want to add another Teacher to my list of teachers in TimeTabler.
Is this possible, even though I have started entering Batches and started a schedule?  How should I do this?

  A.    There is no problem adding teachers.  
You can add a teacher to the list on the Teachers Screen at any time.
To do this you use the "+New" button.

However, if you try to Insert or Delete a teacher then that can cause difficulties, if you have already started a schedule.
So our advice in this case is:
- 1.  Add the new Teacher to the Teachers Screen, using the 'New' button.
- 2.  Use the 'Sort' button to get the best sequence of staff.
- 3.  Use the New teacher as you wish on any of the other screens.  No problem.

- 4. Do not use the Insert or Delete buttons if you have already started entering data in Batches.  [They give a red message to warn you.]
If there is a teacher that you don't need any more, then do NOT Delete, just give him/her a Printing Name of *D [see section C13 in your Manual].  This marks him/her as a "Dummy / Do not print".

- 5. If you want to change the Printing name of a Teacher you can do this at any time.

- 6. If you want to change the Staff Code/Initials of a teacher then after you have changed the Initials on the Teachers Screen, in order to change those initials in all the Batches, use the button on the Batches Screen labelled "Update your batches Globally".  See HelpMovie 26.
