Can you do that part way through a year?

Hi, Once the timetable is in progress is it possible to add in break and lunch duties. We currently just have the teaching periods on SIMs. J

Hi, I was wondering whether anyone can help me with trying to assign a year 12 students to year 13 lessons in sims? Many thanks Jen

Gave this ago, but it seems insistent on displacing other lessons, this time a group of yr10 lessons! The newly assigned post 16 lesson went yellow so no green appears. The post 16 block then looks fine. It's only when you flick through the blocks for other years that I can spot anything dodgy and that's a Year 10 option block which has now gone blue and the timetabled slot dispersed. It just doesn't seem to want to clash! Is there a setting somewhere that is incorrect, or do I need to lock the year 10 lessons in first?

Great, thanks will give it a try.

So I need to drag it to the place on the timetable still and then that screen should appear? Many thanks for your help.

Hi, I have now attached the screen shot. Basically have managed to increase the number of periods, and then to place it have been left clicking on the first column (where it will normally display the period) and dragging it down to the relevant period on the bottom left timetable bit. The problem is the only option it gives me is to displace the lessons that are already there, which I don't want to do. @Cache mentioned that it should give an option of clash, but doesn't seem to happen. Can anyone help. Many thanks Jen

I haven't had that option, but maybe it's because I am doing it on the wrong screen. Will post a screen shot if I can to check. Thank you so much for your help, much appreciated.

Hi, Thanks for your response cache, I have managed to do the bit where you say if it's a single lesson for one subject within the block, first increase the minimum number of periods, build your block so that the lesson you want on it's own is on it's own line. When you say blanks and protect the other slots, do you mean where the lesson should have been? Also when I was trying to drag it into a new slot, I was doing this by left clicking the first Colum and then dragging it on to the correct space on the bottom left timetable, the issue is every time I do this it's says there is a clash and will only let me put it there if I displace the original block.

Hi, Thanks, that would work, but when I was looking at it there is way of doing it, as it turns the mapping squares from yellow to black so showing that you have two blocks operating in one slot. Jen

Hi, I am trying to finalise our 6th form timetable and have an issue which I know can be solved, but can't quite remember how to do it. We have 5 teaching blocks in 6th form which cover the whole timetable. I want to put a lesson out of block, this is possible from a student timetable point of view as the students who opted for that option don't do a lesson in the block I want to move it to. How do I do this without it knocking all the lessons in the original block out. Many thanks Jen
