TT - Generate Master Timetable

This program will generate the master timetable, based on the data previously validated through Student Admin > Timetable > External Data Interface > Validate Imported Data. This program will also 'clear' the data previously imported in Student Admin > Timetable > External Data Interface > Import Data in readiness for the next import cycle.

Selecting this option invokes one of the following behaviours, depending on whether you are using multiple or single timetable mode:

1. In multiple timetable mode, the timetable definitions previously defined in Student Admin > Timetable > Setup Information > Timetable Setup on the 'Timetable Definitions' tab, are available for selection from the dropdown list. Selection of the required timetable definition will automatically populate the year and term/semester with the predefined values.
2. In single timetable mode, the dropdown list is not available for selection. The current year and term/semester defined in Student Admin > Timetable > Setup Information > Timetable Setup on the 'Timetable' tab are automatically displayed.
   
   

Important!

The year and term/semester values in both modes are read-only and may not be changed.

Make your required selections and click the 'GO' button to proceed with the timetable generation and clearing processes. You will be prompted with a dialogue stating 'Do you wish to proceed?' Select 'OK' to proceed with the validation process and produce the report.

Fields that require detailed information
Timetable	The timetable definition previously defined in Student Admin > Timetable > Setup Information > Timetable Setup on the 'Timetable Definitions' tab. This field is not available (nor required) in single timetable mode. Only timetables that have been set up with a calendar will be available in the dropdown list. If a timetable is not appearing here, check that a calendar has been set up using program Student Admin > Timetable > Setup Information > Timetable Setup.
Year	The year previously defined and relevant to your selected timetable mode (see points 1 and 2 above).
Term/Semester	The term/semester previously defined and relevant to your selected timetable mode (see points 1 and 2 above).
Year Group	Year group against which to generate the master timetable.
Campus	This field can only be used if you have set up your timetable to allow the uploading and operation of separate campus timetables. For more information, refer to How-To guide 'Additional Steps Required to Load a Campus-Specific Timetable'. If you want to generate the master timetable for a single campus, select the appropriate campus from the drop-down list. Important! If you are using the campus timetable upload facility that is defined in this document and are in the process of uploading your second campus (the first is already uploaded and a timetable generated), then it is essential that you select the correct campus from the 'Campus' drop-down list.  IF YOU LEAVE THIS FIELD BLANK IN THE GENERATION PROCESS, THEN THE FIRST CAMPUS TIMETABLE WILL BE OVERRIDDEN BY THE SECOND CAMPUS TIMETABLE.
