Top right, click on the Build Schedule button to begin with the automated building process. This will use the intelligence and wisdom of the program to build the best possible schedule according your information entered.

In the building graph notice:

·       the peaks (new student conflicts increased) followed by

·       the valleys, as the conflicts were automatically fixed.

One of the many advantages of having a program that can build schedules with higher student accuracy, is that it has a huge effect on the school’s performance; more students have their desired courses and a lesser amount of time needs to be spent re-negotiating with students on which other courses they may need to pick. Your personal placements will be locked in place, and the schedule will be built around this.

What If Insight

This is a very handy feature to give insight into what would happen in a course if:

·       Groups would be reduced: it might be a saving of resources, instead of having 2 groups of 14 students, to rather combine them into one group of 28 students.

·       Groups would beincreased: Often times this might have a significant impact on reducing the student conflicts. E.g. if a new group was added for AP English, the student conflicts would be reduced by 4.
