We recommend using the plaform for as long as required during timetable planning and construction. Typically this reduces workload from months to weeks or even days
Shamail Siddiqi, Co-Founder and CEO: Overall excellent solution. Some improvement areas. For example, being able to have mixed duration slots, 15 mins and 45 mins instead of just 30 mins and 1 hour. Some technical glitches here and there. When I replicate classes and update group names, they don't change across the system. Rules sometimes need to be created for each lesson - should be some way to simplify.Stephan, Headmaster: Up to now it seems to be an intersting way to create timetables. The interfaces to other applications (import/export options) do not seem as flexible as I need them to be. For example, I have to manually export qualifications and employment levels of teachers, subgroups of students from year groups and corresponding elective subject groups from the corresponding applications (databases such as Escola, SL-Planer) and then migrate them one by one into Skolaris. Timetables created in Skolaris are not exported in such a way that they can be processed in the aforementioned applications.Eirwen Oswald, Principal: The support given when we got stuck was brilliantDave, Timetabler: I would give this a 9, because I can cope and find other ways of doing things where the program lacks functionality. So for what it is it is 9 in terms of me having a product that does most of what we need it to do at any given time. (If they later include some other aspects such as taking student options into consideration when optimising, I would give it 10) The reason I give it 2 above is that there are bugs in each part of the program that can mess up data, hang the program, crash the program or otherwise stops it from doing what it should do. They do respond and fix software and roll out updates but I have seen multiple times that they roll out a bug fix for one thing only to mess up something else and this has happened on more than on occasion. So I have spent 4 hours today, trying to figure out why something that worked before Christmas when merging groups doesn't work today. I've had to go back to previous versions to check that it was not me (user error) and then go back and log a report for them that they would understand. So 4 hours when I wanted to be using the tool and instead have got nowhere. Now I know it is not my fault but an upgrade that has messed up that feature I can hopefully progress with what I wanted to do but my whole morning - and my motivation - have been lost!Katherine, Deputy Principal - Academics: There are still some kinks that need to be worked out. Rooming is very clunky and I spend too much time working through this areaGreg, Head of Curriculum Services: It is modern, intuitive, feature rich and goes far beyond jujst a timetabling package.
