Off-site rooms are marked with an off-site code entered under master data.
Off-site rooms with graduated lesson starts
Enter the same (numerical) off-site code for all the rooms at an off-site location where you operate a system of start time graduation . Permitted values are between 1 and 9.
Your school has two off-site locations. The first is a 15 minute walk away from the main building, the second a 10-minute walk away from the first off-site location. Enter a value for each off-site room as described above to enable Untis to schedule the teacher as follows:
Period 1 – main building, Period 2 – off-site location 1, Period 3 – off-site location 2.
Untis allocates one free period for the return from one of the off-site buildings to the main building or from off-site location 2 to off-site location 1.
Untis takes into account:
| • | The walking times for teachers and students to off-site subject rooms and classrooms |
| • | The walking times for teachers and students from off-site subject rooms and classrooms back to the main building |
It is advisable to reduce the number of times teachers and students are obliged to move between main and off-site buildings to an absolute minimum. The following example shows how to do this:
For teachers who teach both in the main building and at off-site locations, enter the number "1" under Subject sequence - Teachers for lessons that take place in the main building, and the number "2" for lessons that take place in the off-site building.
Untis will then attempt to schedule as many periods as possible in the same building for the teacher.
Off-site rooms without graduated lesson starts
If you are unable to graduate lesson starts as described in the previous section, you need to schedule one free period each for the walk to and from the off-site location for teachers and students.
To achieve this use the off-site codes A – E for the relevant off-site rooms at your external locations.
To ensure the correct treatment of off-site rooms during optimisation, enter the following details:
Under "Master Data | Rooms"
| • | Off-site code |
| • | Room weighting |
Under "Scheduling | Weighting | Rooms"
| • | Optimisation of room allocation |
| • | Optimisation of the off-site rooms |
Periods scheduled for rooms with off-site code '1' are marked y and Y in the scheduling dialogue. Periods scheduled for rooms with other off-site codes are marked z and Z (upper case letters denote couplings).
