On smaller screens the panel moves above the timetable, and the timetable can be scrolled sideways.

1. Click a Grade Level button (for example Grade 11) to show its sections. The number next to it is how many active sections it has.
2. Click a section. Its timetable and subjects load immediately, without reloading the page, and the section stays highlighted.

The colored dots show each section's progress, and are refreshed after every change:

Only active sections of the active School Year are listed.

Rows are the time slots of the section's Shift Type, with their Start, End and Duration; columns are Monday to Friday. Yellow rows are breaks and never accept classes.

• Occupied cells are colored by subject (each subject always gets the same color) and show the subject, its hours and room, and the teacher.
• Empty cells are white and read Available.
• A slot can hold more than one entry when their durations fit inside it, for example two 30-minute classes in a 60-minute slot. The free part of a partly used slot reads + Add · 30m left.
• Clicking a cell outlines it in blue. Hovering an occupied cell shows its @gi('pencil-square') Edit and @gi('trash') Delete buttons.

An entry's assigned hours come from its duration: 60 minutes = 1:00 hour, 30 minutes = 0:30. Hours are written as hours:minutes throughout this page.

The quickest way to add a class is to click an empty cell. The Scheduling Panel turns into a New Entry form that walks you through four steps; its header shows the day, time and free minutes of the cell.

1. Click an empty cell (Available or + Add) in the timetable.
2. Subject. Pick a subject. Each one shows its code, scheduled / required hours and status. Only subjects of the section's Track, Grade Level and active Term are listed, plus the Activities.
3. Teacher. Pick a teacher. Only teachers assigned to the subject are listed; a teacher who already has a class at this day and time is marked Conflict and cannot be chosen. Each teacher shows their current assigned hours.
4. Duration. Type the minutes or click a quick pick (30m, 45m, 60m, 90m or Full, the whole free time). The preview shows the hours added and whether the subject will still have hours left, Completes the week, or Exceeds by some time. Click Continue.
5. Room. Pick a room. The section's default room is listed first; rooms already used at this time are marked Booked. Or click Save without a room.

The entry is saved the moment a room is picked. The cell fills in, the subject hours, status dots and panel refresh, and a green toast confirms it. The panel then returns to its overview.

The Subjects list in the panel offers a second way to schedule, handy for placing the same subject in several slots:

1. Click a subject in the panel's Subjects list to expand it.
2. Choose the Teacher (if the subject already has a teacher in this section, that teacher is used automatically). For subjects that need a special room, also choose a laboratory or workshop Room. Only teachers with at least one open slot in this section are offered, with the number of open slots.
3. A token labeled Subject + Teacher appears. Either:
   • click the token to highlight every free cell where it fits (green dashed outline), then click a highlighted cell; or
   • drag the token onto a highlighted cell.

The duration is chosen automatically: the hours the subject still needs, up to the free time in the cell. Press Esc to drop the selection.

Editing an entry

1. Hover the occupied cell and click @gi('pencil-square') Edit.
2. In Edit Schedule Entry, change the Day of Week, Time Slot, Subject, Duration (minutes), Teacher or Room. The Section and Shift Type are shown for reference, and the Assigned Hour is recalculated from the duration.
3. Click Update Schedule Entry. All conflict and hour checks run again before saving.

Deleting an entry

1. Hover the occupied cell and click @gi('trash') Delete.
2. The window shows the day, time and subject. For an activity without a teacher that also exists in other sections at the same day and time, you can tick those sections to delete it there too.
3. Click Delete Entry, or Cancel.

The cell empties and the hours, status and dots update immediately.

Occupied cells can be dragged with the mouse. Two different gestures keep moving and copying separate:

• The drag locks to the first direction you move in (a row or a column); it never bends into an L shape.
• Break rows and occupied cells crossed by a copy are skipped, never overwritten.
• While dragging, valid targets are highlighted green and invalid ones red.
• If a drop is not allowed, the cell snaps back, nothing is saved, and a red toast explains why. If some copies have warnings (for example exceeded hours), you are asked to review them; skipped cells are reported in a gray toast.
• A double-clicked cell that is not dragged within 5 seconds returns to normal.

Every save, edit, move, swap and copy is checked. Blocking problems stop the change and show a red message; warnings ask you to review and decide.

A section may have the same subject more than once on the same day; this is allowed without any warning.

Activities such as Flag Ceremony are added the same way as subjects, but with a shorter flow: pick the activity, optionally a teacher of the section's Grade Level who is free at that time (or Continue without a teacher), then the duration, and click Save Activity. Activities count toward no subject hours.

After you add an activity, the system offers to add it to other sections that are still free at the same day and time. The window Add activity to other sections? lists them by Grade Level; keep Select all sections ticked or choose specific ones, then click Add to N sections. Close the window to skip.

The Subjects list in the panel works as the section's hour tracker. For each required subject it shows the subject and its teacher, the scheduled / required hours, a progress bar and the status:

Above the list, Schedule Status shows the whole section: Unscheduled (no entries), Incomplete, or Complete once every required subject reaches its hours. A legend explains the dot and cell colors, and the Entries badge counts the section's entries. Everything updates after each change.

Auto-generate fills the empty required-subject hours of the sections you choose, with zero teacher or room conflicts, spreading the load across qualified teachers. Existing entries are never changed.

1. Click @gi('magic') Generate Schedule at the top of the Scheduling page.
2. Tick one or more Year Levels. Their sections are listed with their status.
3. Tick the sections to fill, or Select all. Click a section to open its detail panel, which shows each subject as Teacher available, No free slot, No teacher or Complete.
4. If some ticked sections were generated before, a review step asks what to do with each one:
   • Skip — leave the section as it is.
   • Lock & fill remaining — keep its entries and only fill what is missing.
   • Regenerate all — replace its generated entries. Entries added or edited by hand are kept.
5. Click Generate.

A summary appears in the Auto-Generate panel: how many entries were placed and how many sections are now Complete. Subject/section pairs that could not be placed (for example because no teacher is assigned or no slot is free) are reported as needing manual attention; fix the cause and generate again, or place them by hand.

1. Click @gi('eraser') Remove Schedules.
2. Tick the Year Levels, then the sections to clear (sections without entries cannot be ticked).
3. Click Remove Schedules and confirm with Remove.
