Window groups

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

Different timetabling tasks often require the instant availability of very different types of data. When assigning teachers to lessons, for example, you may find that an open scheduling dialogue is more a hindrance than a help. Equally, the presence of a weighting window on screen would unnecessarily clutter up the screen when all you are trying to do is some manual fine-tuning of the timetable.

 

Untis solves this problem with the Window Groups function that allows you to set up the screen for a specific timetabling task and save the window position so you can call it up again at a later point in time.

 

The following example will demonstrate how to create a windows group.

 

1.Open the demo.gpn file and arrange the windows as shown in the figure

 

 

AH_12_087

2.Click on the <Windows Group> button in the main tool bar. Alternatively you can open the window via the function "Windows | Window Groups".

 

 

AH_12_088

3.Click on the button <Save window group as> and assign meaningful short and long names.

 

Enter 9 in the field "Window group number" and confirm with <OK>.

 

 

AH_12_089

 

Please not that a button has been added to the "Window Groups" tool bar.

 

 

AH_12_090

 

If your screen does not display the tool bar, please left-click on the main tool bar and check the box "Window Groups".

 

 

AH_12_091

Now click on other button in the tool bar. Each button has been assigned a different window arrangement.

Tip:

You can transfer the window groups from one file to another at any time. To do this, open the file into which you wish to import the settings and select "File | Import/Export | Timetable/Input Format". On the "Import window groups" tab you can now navigate to the .gpn file from which you wish to import the window groups and start the import process.
