Timetable printing issue in SIMs with TT clash (lesson and break duty)

[willkeddie]

Good afternoon all,

I've got an issue in SIMs. With the split lunches and breaks that we have had since COVID, I have had to force some clashes in Nova where some staff are teaching in, say, period 2 but also have a break duty. This has all been done in Nova and appears beautifully as a red clash in the SIMs timeline on the homepage as red boxes showing the clash between lesson and duty. I want this and am happy with it as it remind staff when they taking their register for the lesson that when these kids go on break, they are on duty. I'm getting the little red box 2 in the SIMs timetable showing the clash in that period.

My problem is when staff print their timetable, it shows the duty. I would prefer it to show the lesson. Is there any way in SIMs (or Nova) that I can set this in some sort of print settings?

Thanks in advance

I'm not aware of a way of selecting a lesson over a non-class-code in a printout (but that doesn't mean there isn't one!)

 

You should be able to show both, via the cell settings on the SIMS print preview screen, by dragging extra data items into the cell layout - but I've always found it very clunky (or maybe that's just me...).

It's not very helpful either if the setting is one you only want for a few people who have clashes.

If you do change the setting to show both, exporting either to HTML or Excel for printing often makes things look nicer as it doesn't truncate the text.
