Term timetable functions are generally used in the following cases:
| • | timetable change during the school year (e.g. at the end of the school half-year, when one or more teachers are absent for a considerable period etc.), |
| • | a time-limited course system (e.g. all classes have ten weeks of lessons). |
With a term timetable the school year is divided into several periods of time and a timetable can be created for each of these terms independently of each other. You could of course save each timetable in a separate file, but you would then have to accept a number of disadvantages. The term timetable offers the following advantages:
| • | You have a single file for the whole school year. |
| • | Statistical analyses can be performed at any time on the complete school year. |
| • | Term and timetable changes can take place during the week. |
| • | Weekly overview reports (especially for printing or for output to the intranet/internet) accurately reflect the changing timetable. |
| • | Cover planning always accesses the currently valid timetable automatically. Mistakes are impossible. |
