The overall diagnosis function provides an overview of the classes and teachers that have ended up with the worst timetables (measured against your settings).

 

Call up the total diagnosis function via "Scheduling | Overall Diagnosis".

 

 

 

The overall diagnosis function applies to only one week – for the same reasons stated above for the diagnosis function (see previous chapter). Select the desired week via the date combo box.

 

Next to the date combo box, you will see another box where you can specify if you want to display a teacher list or a class list.

 

The list itself is organized in order of least desirable timetable. The first column of the list entitled "Points" contains the total number of penalty points. Additionally, the list displays the three worst periods in each timetable, again with their respective values.

 

Click on one of the three periods in the list to display the causes of the bad result under "Reason". When you have an accompanying timetable open at the same time, the period is displayed immediately. Please note that when you first open the overall diagnosis window or click on <Refresh> (and before you click on any of the periods), the cause displayed under "Reason" always refers to the first period in the row.

 

 

 

The example shows that the overall diagnosis tool detected a split double period. Click on the entry in the overall diagnosis window to highlight the period in the accompanying timetable. The other periods of this subject – in this case, only one other period on Friday – are also highlighted.

 

The problem can be resolved by increasing the weighting of point "Avoid errors with double periods" by one level.

 

An empty field under "Reason" indicates that the timetable for this class or teacher is already very good (i.e. has relatively few penalty points). In relation to the other periods, the displayed period may be one of the three worst placed ones. Overall, however, it is fairly well placed. It is unnecessary, therefore, to change the period manually.

 

In short, the diagnosis function provides an overview of all timetables while the overall diagnosis function targets the worst timetables in the school and aims to improve them. The overall diagnosis window also displays the causes of violations.
