Automatic Timetable Generator
A first draft of the week, without the grid on the wall
A timetable committee can spend days sliding periods around until two classes no longer want the same teacher.
The automatic timetable generator in Ultimate School Manager drafts the week from classes, subjects and teachers. You adjust the result, then publish it through timetable management, including substitutions and the USMConnect view.
