Monitor output for departments |
|
If the Department Timetable module is used, it is possible for each department to perform its own cover planning with its own department file. Each department can then of course create monitor output from its own data. If necessary these individual outputs can also be integrated into a shared display.
For the integration of the individual monitor outputs it is first necessary to create the .gpn-department files by exporting them with the function ”Modules | Department Timetable | Export” (In this case the department name is displayed in the Untis titlebar.)
For the export of the monitor HTML files a directory must be created to which all departments must have access and which contains a sub-directory for each department with the department’s short name (from Untis) as name.
As an example, a school with the departments Econimics, Electro, and Metal must therefore create the following directory structure (you are free to choose the name and location of the “Departments”folder).
The departments now generate their monitor output in their own folder (Webserver:\Departments\Economics, Webserver: \Departments\Electro, Webserver:\Departments\Metal).
Untis or a .gpn-file (main file) is set up for the integration of the monitor HTML files at one workstation
For this a special format with the name “&join” is created on the monitor HTML tab. This format should be the last active format in the list. The export path of this format determines the output directory for the merged HTML files of all departments. All other entries of this format are ignored.
The shared output directory for the department files is entered on the “Directories” tab under ”Settings | Miscellaneous” (in this example C:\dep_test).
All departments whose output is to be merged must be entered in the master data of the “main file”. The sequence of the department entries determines the sequence in which the HTML files will be merged.
When the export is launched Untis looks in the shared department directory (in the example Webserver:\Departments) for subfolders with the department names and merges the files found there into the complete output for monitor display in the export directory set under the “&join” export directory.
You can use the parameter < LIN=@abt > in the HTML template subst_monitor.thtm. Untis will then replace this parameter with the name of each relevant department.
