Fields that require detailed information
Maximum Number of Days	The maximum number of days in the timetable cycle. This number can be between 1 and 25 inclusive. In its simplest form, a Monday to Friday timetable will have 5 days.
Maximum Number of Periods	The maximum number of periods to be defined for any one timetabled day. This number can be between 1 and 30 inclusive.
Current Year and Current Term/Semester	This setting indicates which timetable year is currently in use. It will also determine the timetable that is displayed in Teacher Kiosk (including Analytics), Parent Lounge and Student Café. Important! The number of terms/semesters available in this drop-down must be predefined and is set up in Student Admin > Student Records > Setup Information > Student Records Setup.
Multiple Timetables Enabled	This Yes/No flag indicates whether multiple timetables are to be used at the school (defaults to 'N'). If multiple timetables are not set up, you will be prompted for a password to enable this flag. This password is available from the TASS.web helpdesk. The decision to enable multiple timetables is based on three critical areas: Days — Different sections of the schools may require their timetable cycle to be composed of a different number of days. For example, the Junior School runs on a 5-day cycle whilst the Senior School runs a 10-day cycle. Periods — Different sections of the schools may require their timetable days to be composed of a different number of periods, with different start and end times. For example, the Junior School operates with 6 periods per day whilst the Senior School runs a 10 period day. Calendar — Different sections of the school may require different calendars to be defined in each section. For example, the Junior School operates on a 5-day cycle with its own calendar whilst the Senior School has its 10-day cycle defined within its own calendar. Important! Once multiple timetables have been enabled you will not be able to rollback to single timetable mode. If you are unsure of whether you need to implement multiple timetables, please discuss this with the TASS.web Helpdesk prior to implementation.
Multiple Campus Enabled	This Yes/No flag indicates whether multiple campus timetables are to be used at the school (defaults to 'N'). This field will become editable if your school has more than one campus defined in program Student Admin > Student Records > Setup Information > Student Records Setup on the 'Campuses' tab. Multiple Campus Timetables can be enabled where: The same year group(s) are offered at more than one campus. The timetable differs between the two campuses. When set to 'Yes' a timetable will be required to be generated for each campus. Important! Once multiple campus timetables have been enabled, it cannot be disabled. If you are unsure of whether you need to implement multiple campus timetables, please discuss this with TASS Support prior to implementation.
Unitised/Vertical Timetable	A Unitised or Vertical curriculum is one in which students participate in subjects that are not specifically defined against their specific year group. For example, a high achieving mathematics pupil who is currently in year 10 may be undertaking a timetabled year 12 mathematics class.

Important!

If you are running a Unitised/Vertical Timetable then a unique subject code must be set up for each 'unit of study'. For example, 'Year 8 English' must have a different subject code to 'Year 9 English'.

Subjects are setup in Student Admin > Student Records > Setup Information > Student Records Setup on the 'Subjects' tab.

If you want to switch between unitised/vertical and non-unitised/horizontal contact the TASS.web Helpdesk for assistance.
