Configure days and time slots
Schedull uses days and time slots as the timetable grid. Define the school week first, including breaks and shorter days, then add class-specific schedules only when some groups do not follow the common structure.

Shared schedule or class-specific schedule
Most schools should start with one shared schedule. Use class-specific schedules only for groups with fewer periods, different teaching days, or a distinct daily rhythm.
- Shared schedules are easier to review.
- Class-specific schedules are useful for mixed primary and secondary structures.
- Changing the structure later can require another generation run.
Setup checklist
Use the same time-slot names that staff already use. Clear labels make exported and published timetables easier to read.
Add every active teaching day.
Name periods consistently.
Mark breaks as non-teaching time.
Check that weekly subject loads fit the available periods.
FAQ
Should breaks be periods?
Represent breaks clearly so lessons are not planned there and staff can read the final timetable without guessing.
