Elements of the matrix

Subject-Groups (instead of subjects): If the element type “Subject” is in the lines or columns, subject groups can be displayed instead of subjects. If you have defined the element type “Subject” for cells, this option will have no effect on the way in which the lesson matrix is displayed.

 

Group classes by

If you work with lesson tables or with the Department Timetable module, you can also group the classes by these criteria.

 

Cells

You have the option to display weekly periods, value units or lesson numbers.

 

Total for

This is where you can display the totals per line either for the weekly periods or for the value units.

Note: Consider couplings for totals

If you choose to display totals and also activate the selection box Consider couplings for the totals, periods belonging to the same coupling will only be counted once.

 

 

If you only wish to create the totals for a certain part of the matrix, mark the desired area and select the <Print> or <Print preview options>. This will output the total above the selected area.

Other settings

Selection of the week : Lesson display will be limited to one week, i.e. only those lessons will be displayed that take place in the selected week. This option is only available with the Multi-Week module.
Entries in the cell create a new lesson : If this box is not activated you can revise existing entries in the lesson matrix, and your changes will have an immediate effect on the lesson in question. However, if the box is checked your entries in a matrix cell will lead to the creation of a new lesson. Existing entries will be retained unchanged.
Suppress empty lines when filtering : In certain cases, e.g. when columns and lines display teachers and subjects, filtering can lead to a large number of empty columns and lines. Checking this selection box results in only those columns and lines being displayed that actually contain data. This function is especially useful for large schools with a high number of master data elements in order to guarantee clarity.
