How can you define how long a lesson lasts in Nova-T6?

[PGamester]

We run with 8 periods a day. Lesson 1 is 35 mins long, Lesson 2 is 40 mins long, Lesson 3 is 35 mins long etc etc etc

In order to use the analysis reports accurately to see how much time has been allocated to a member of staff I would like to be able to reflect this in Nova.

Is it possible and, what is the default amount of time used by the system?

 

Many thanks

I don't think it is done in NT6 itself, the times are defined by the cycle exported from Nova to SIMS and it is SIMS that uses the times not NT6.

Thank you. How long is a session in Nova-T6? I ask because you tell Nova how many hours the teacher is employed for and it gives you their teaching commitment based on the timetable and whether or not they are above or below their expected hours in a classroom. But how does it calculate this?

I think you can only set one period length on the Cycle screen (top left)

That answers my question. I will split the difference and that way we will be just about on point. May I ask which Handbook this is in? I only have my training guides so need to download this book of wisdom!

It's the training manuals - there's a Part A and Part B dated copies of which can be found online
