We interact in a variety of ways (see below) and you can use some or all of them, according to your school's needs:
1) Import of Basic Data: in your first year of using TimeTabler, you will want to get a “head-start” by importing a list of your Basic Data (Teachers, Subjects and Rooms) from Bromcom into TimeTabler.
- What to do in Bromcom: export an Excel list of your Teachers, Subjects, Rooms
- What to do in TimeTabler: Import Basic Data into TimeTabler
2) Scheduling: You will then use all the tools in TimeTabler to schedule your timetable.
This part is done independently of Bromcom, so that your school timetabler can concentrate on creating next year's timetable.
We provide lots of help & support for you to do this, in 12 ways.
3) Export your final timetable: from TimeTabler to Bromcom:
Once you have completed your timetable in TimeTabler, you will want to export it to Bromcom.

That is the basic process, but there are extra transfers you can perform if you need / wish to:
A) Re-export your timetable: If you need to make changes to your timetable mid-year, you can do this in TimeTabler, and then re-export the new / modified timetable to Bromcom.
B) Review changes made in Bromcom: Smaller changes to your timetable can be made in Bromcom (eg: room swaps in September). If you can send these changes back to TimeTabler, then they will be updated in TimeTabler.
C) Student Options (Electives): Similar links are available between Options and Bromcom.
