Timetabler actually calcuates the timetable for you! Whether you run your timetable on an Archimedes, A3000 or PC Compatible machine Timetabler is the answer you have been looking for. Clashes and conflicts between staff, courses and rooms normally associated with producing a timetable are coped with, together with individual special cases such as 'closed' periods, course with none or two staff, rooms used for 'outsiders' etc. Courses can be flagged for concurrency to allow for example History and Geography being taught at the same time if the class is split, or exclusion so that for example Physical Education and Cookery are on seperate days to avoid pupils bringing two extra bags.

The reporting facilities within Timetabler are very comprehensive with the ability to preview for period/day/week, staff/student, stream/course/room and timetable overviews. Both manual and automatic allocation of resources are available and the two may be combined or used independently. Once the timetables have been created for the school, the program can be used to give continued information on the use of resources.
