My school uses 2 (or more) different styles of Teaching Group Name (TGN):
If you have more than one ‘standard style’ of TGN in your school (eg. one style for years 7-11 and another for your sixth form) then the quickest way to create this is often to follow these steps:
- a) set-up your {auto} TGNs to give the style for years 7-11
- b) ask TimeTabler to convert those TGNs into “manual TGNs” for those years, so they are stored**
- c) set-up {auto} to give the style for your sixth-form.
This will give years 7-11 one style, and your sixth-form a different style.
** How to convert your '{auto} TGNs' into 'manual TGNs', for a year of activities:
a If you want to do it for a single activity, you can choose the Activity (in the Batch, or on the Curriculum Diagram), right-click on it and choose ‘TGNs: {auto} into Manual, for this Activity’
and/or,
b you can perform this action for a whole year at a time. To do this, go to: "Curriculum Diagram -> TGN -> TGNs: {auto} into Manual, for this whole Year" ... or: right-click on an Activity and choose ‘TGNs: {auto} into Manual, for this whole Year’
Important note: for a) or b) to work, you must first have ‘evaluated’ your TGNs, via "Curriculum Diagram -> TGN -> Evaluate {auto} TGNs" ... or have entered them manually.
Any questions, please ask.
