In Year One, when you first purchase TimeTabler (and after you have worked through the step-by-step Tutorial) you will need to enter your own data. Follow these steps:
1) The first step is to go to File Menu -> Blank Data.
This will delete all the Tutorial data, leaving the screens blank, ready for your data.
2) Then you can enter your own Basic Data, of Teachers, Subjects & Rooms,
• either: by typing them in,
• or: by importing this data from your iSAMS MIS. Details of how to do this are shown in a document you can download here.
You only need to enter all the Basic Data in the very first year of using TimeTabler .
Thereafter you will simply update the data by editing it. For example, if a Teacher leaves or if you introduce a new Subject.
For full details of how to do this, see the HelpMovie on “Tidying-up last year’s data”.
Note: If you use Ed:gen, it can export the same information; ask iSAMS for details.
