TT - Copy Master Timetable
This program enables you to copy an entire master timetable from a selected year and term/semester to a target year and term/semester. For each cell in the timetable definition, all of the details, including subject, year group, class group, teacher and room, are replicated.
Select your ‘Source Timetable’ and ‘Target Timetable’ and click on the 'GO' button to replicate the source timetable to the target destination.
When using multiple timetables, you must specify Source and Target Timetable ID's (see below). Alternatively, in single timetable mode, the appropriate Year and Term/Semester combinations are entered.
Important!
The ‘Target Timetable’ must fall within a Year and/or Term/Semester exceeding the Source Timetable Year and/or Term/Semester. If not, a validation error will occur stating, ‘The Year and Term/Semester values from the Source Timetable must be less than the Target Timetable values', and you will have to reselect a 'Target Timetable’ that conforms to these validation requirements.
The 'Target Timetable' cannot be the same Year and Semester/Term as the Current Timetable.
As a workaround, you could temporarily change the 'Current Year' and 'Current Term/Semester' in TASS.web program Student Admin > Timetable > Setup Information > Timetable Setup on the 'Timetable' tab to the previous year/period before running this program.
After copying the timetable, ensure the 'Current Year' and 'Current Term/Semester' are reset to the Current Year/Period.
This workaround will alter the current timetable that is visible to users in TASS.web, Staff Kiosk, Parent Lounge, and Student Café. It is best to perform this task outside of regular hours to avoid any potential conflicts with ongoing timetable-related work.
