Getting started

schedU turns your institution’s teachers, subjects, and rooms into a complete, conflict-free timetable. This guide walks you from a blank slate to a published schedule.
1. Enter the basics
Open the wizard and tell schedU about your institution: its name, the board or curriculum you follow (or define your own), and the range of classes or year groups you run.
You do not need everything up front — you can add teachers, subjects, and rooms as you go.
2. Add teachers, subjects, and rooms
Enter the people, subjects, and spaces schedU will allocate:
- •Teachers — names and the subjects each can teach.
- •Subjects — with the number of periods per week you want for each class.
- •Rooms — tagged by type (lab, hall, standard) and capacity.
3. Generate
Click generate. schedU’s engine places every period while respecting teacher availability, room constraints, and elective groups — then validates the result so there are no clashes.
Generation typically takes seconds. If your requirements change, just regenerate.
4. Review, refine, and publish
Edit the timetable inline like a spreadsheet. Every change is re-validated instantly, and schedU explains why each slot was chosen.
When you’re happy, export class-wise, teacher-wise, and room-wise timetables as PDF or Excel, or print them directly.
