1

What is Schedull and who is it for?

Schedull is web-based school timetable software for teachers, timetable coordinators, heads of studies, and administrators. It helps organize classes, subjects, teachers, rooms, availability, and rules, then creates weekly timetables that can be reviewed and edited in the browser.

2

How does automatic timetable generation work?

You enter the school structure, weekly subject loads, teacher assignments, availability, room needs, and rules. Schedull then searches for a timetable that fits those inputs and shows progress while it works. After generation, you can review class and teacher views before saving the result.

3

Can Schedull avoid teacher double booking?

Yes. When teachers are assigned to subjects, Schedull treats those assignments as part of the timetable logic so the same teacher is not placed in two lessons at the same time.

4

What is the difference between hard rules and soft preferences?

Hard rules are non-negotiable requirements, such as a teacher being unavailable or a room being closed. Soft preferences describe better patterns, such as spreading lessons across the week. If a preference is missed, the timetable may still be usable.

5

How should I enter teacher availability?

Enter real unavailable slots first: part-time days, fixed meetings, blocked afternoons, or hours when a teacher cannot teach. Treat ideal patterns, such as avoiding late lessons, as preferences unless the school cannot accept them.

6

What is Advanced Start?

Advanced Start lets you pin specific sessions to known days and modules before generation. Use it for immovable lessons, fixed room access, or institutional commitments that must stay in place while the rest of the timetable is created.

7

Can I edit the generated timetable manually?

Yes. Use the Manual Timetable Editor to make final moves, swaps, or corrections after generation. Manual editing is useful when a human coordinator needs to apply judgement that is too specific to become a general rule.

8

Can I export timetables?

Schedull supports timetable exports on plans that include export access. Export options are designed for sharing schedules with teachers, classes, and school teams outside the planning workspace.

9

Is there a free plan or trial?

Schedull does not offer a permanent free plan. Schools can request a trial by contacting [email protected], and current pricing pages show available paid plans and promotional first-year pricing where applicable.

10

How is school data protected?

Schedull uses encrypted connections between the browser and the application. Account authentication is handled separately from timetable content, and school timetable data is not sold to third parties for marketing.

11

How do I cancel a subscription?

You can cancel from the subscription area in your profile. Access remains available until the end of the current billing period. For billing questions or cancellation issues, contact [email protected].

12

What should I try if no timetable is found?

Start by checking whether each class has enough available modules for its weekly subject load. Then review strict teacher availability, room requirements, shared teachers, and hard rules. Convert nice-to-have patterns into preferences and generate again.
