Nova T6 - Scheduling issue

[elarrington]

Hi

 

I am new to timetabling this year. I work in a 11-18 school with approx 1700 students. I have scheduled KS5 (Y13 and Y12), KS4 (Y11, Y10, Y9) and almost year 7. I am trying to schedule the last block for this year group (Languages - 3 classes with 5 lessons). I have attempted to use the 'schedule' button in the blocks menu (effectively it attempts to autoschedule as far as im aware?!?). I have previously stopped this process after a while using the abort button and it has managed to schedule 3 or 4 of the 5 lessons. However, on this occasion it appears to have scheduled all 5 (i.e. all 5 have turned yellow) but the time is still rotating and i cannot select any other module to carry on. I did this earlier and when i clicked abort it 'lost' the final lesson and returned it to an 'unscheduled' state. Has anyone come across this before and does anyone have any suggestions.

 

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this, i understand completely how busy people are at the minute.

 

Take care

Hi Mark, thanks for getting in touch. I think ive managed to resolve this now. My last year to schedule is year 8. Im aiming to get that done tomorrow if possible before tidying up the spread through the optimize screen. If i stumble across more issues am i ok to drop you an email? I really appreciate the offer of support, thank you!

Hi, yes of course please do. The last year to schedule is the hardest - good luck!
