This view is for the planners, who make timetables and schedules for multiple teachers/groups, for the so-called heavy users of the system. The view allows you to get the bigger picture of the timetable planning e.g. in one degree programme. The planner sees which course units are still missing reservations. (the information is based on the scheduling wishes and already made reservations). |

- The picture above shows what the different buttons of the report view do. In the view, the information on the upper course unit has been clicked open -> the teacher’s wishes for scheduling (they plan them with the Year planning tool).
Add the room requirement for teaching
This view allows the planner to add new planning rows (= room needs) on the course unit. Add a new row by selecting the green + button on the course unit (the unit should be opened like the one in the picture, which shows the button) See the picture above.
The picture above shows a window that opens when you select the + button. The fields include:
- Priority helps the planner to form a picture on which course units to schedule first in the calendar
- Name e.g. exercises, lectures.
- Teachers field lists the teachers of different classes (if e.g. one person is responsible for labs and another person holds lectures)
- Groups relate to student groups.
- Starts-ends tells the dates when the classes start and end i.e. if first 3 weeks are lectures and the following 3 weeks are reserved for labs.
- Amount tells the number of classes in total.
- Duration is the time that one class takes, which is chosen from the dropdown menu.
- Scheduling groups may be defined within a course unit e.g. labs for small groups labs1 and labs2. Both groups may have their own schedules.
- Room type (auditorium, labs/training facilities, computer lab)is an important information for the timetable planner.
- Room wish is a wish for a particular room. It shows a list of your favourite rooms, but you may also look for any room by writing down the name or code of the room.

- for the planner.
The reservations you have made will show on the rows (labs, lectures, other type).
You may go to Plan and make teaching reservations by selecting the calendar icon beside the course unit’s name. This view will remain in the background in another browser window, so that you may use both the views as you make reservations (this works best if you can use two displays, one for the report view and Plan and make teaching reservations in the other).
