[isams] iSAMS Scheduling

[BFish]

Tech support got stumped on these two questions so wanted to see if the community may know who have used it before?

 

My first question involves the attached image to this post. For the current academic year as you can see I have made a schedule; however, no class names appear in the schedule even though you can clearly see a student has been assigned to a class. The same issue occurs for room schedules and teacher time table schedules. Any ideas?

 

The second involves me adjusting to iSAMS from MB, which MB makes doing this so easy. Our school does a rotating block 7 day schedule and repeats. For example, on Wednesday, August 8th of 2017 it was day 1 and all classes from day 1 would be offered. The next day is day two and so on... The next day 1 in August would be Friday, August 11th. This rotation repeats throughout the school year. In iSAMS I thought based off of the 150 page instructions you would create your entire rotating schedule within a weekly schedule. Then duplicate that week for each week of the school year and adjust the day orders within the week. However, I learned that if you duplicate a week it does not copy the classes assigned. Any thoughts or success stories on doing a rotating block schedule?
