Multi-divisional timetables (MDT) in iSAMS or Ed:gen:
Overview
iSAMS say: Multi-Divisional Timetables is a feature that enables schools to create multiple ‘divisions’ within the school, and thus create separate registration rules for each ‘division’. This is particularly useful for schools with multiple campuses or tiers such as 3-18 schools. Each division of the school can now have AM and PM registrations as well as create their own lesson by lesson registrations.
With Multi-Divisional Timetables enabled, teachers can now also be assigned to one or more divisions in our HR Manager module. This in turn filters through to cover arrangements.
Exporting your timetable
If you have this feature in iSAMS then you can have separate timetables for different parts of the school (perhaps with different period timings). When you import them into iSAMS it will allow you to run multiple import processes and then merge them into one 'master' timetable.
Note: If you have more than one school, you will need (at least) one TimeTabler licence per school.
The basic steps are:
1 - Create 2 (or more) different Schedules in TimeTabler, in the usual way; one for your Senior school and one for your Junior (say).
2 - Export your Senior and Junior Schedules from TimeTabler to iSAMS (or Ed:gen) separately, ensuring correct period numbers are used (as required by iSAMS**).
3 - Upload/import each separately into iSAMS**. iSAMS** will merge them as required.
