When you are working with new software, we understand that getting started is often the hardest part.

That’s why we offer “Gold-Start“.

 

What is Gold-Start ?

Gold-Start is a scheme providing Enhanced Support, with guidance by our Experts:

• for new timetablers, and
• for staff who are new to TimeTabler or Options or StaffCover.

Gold-Start-PLUS is similar but includes a 1-day Training Course at a reduced price.

 

What does Gold-Start offer me ?

We offer all our Users a wide range of Support – the HelpMovies, HelpScreens, Worked Examples, the KnowledgeBase, QuickStart Guide, ‘How do I …?’ Guide, Training Courses, the Support Centre, etc.  More details here.

But Gold-Start offers you additional specific Help and Guidance for New Users, to help you get ‘up and running‘ with your new software, as quickly as possible.

 

How can I get Gold-Start ?

It is included free with new purchases of TimeTabler and of Options and of StaffCover.

Or it can be purchased as an extra** if your school already has TimeTabler or Options or StaffCover and you are new to the software, or feel you would benefit from it (see Note 2 below).

The 'master' Class Printout Screen

Class timetable printout screen

This shows you the Preview Screen , so you can design the ‘master’ Class printout, before printing it.
 
There are similar screens for the Staff Timetables and for the Room Timetables.
 
You have total control over the design, the font and the colour, the column widths, the labels, etc, etc.
 
All the buttons and the controls, are explained when you click on the button.

The Printout Menu

This shows you some of the possibilities for the Printouts.
 
Within each of these, there are millions of ways of fine-tuning the exact design of the Printouts.

They can be printed on paper, or produced as web-pages, at the click of a button.

A professional result.
 

Class Timetable Screen

This shows you the Class Timetables, so you can see the pattern while you are scheduling lessons.
  
There are similar screens for the Staff Timetables and for the Room Timetables.
 
If you use dual monitors you can see these more easily and spread them out over the bigger area.

All the buttons, and the symbols, are explained when you click on the button.

Visual Builder Screen

visual builder screen

This is the main screen on which you do the actual scheduling.
You can sit at this Visual Builder Screen and drag-and-drop to ‘drive’ through the timetable.
 
At first sight it looks very complicated.  To see what each part will do for you, please click on: www.timetabler.com/kb/UsingtheVisualBuilderScreen.pdf

Subjects Screen

subjects screen

This is the screen for saying which Subjects you will want to timetable.

You can return here at any time to edit / alter your data.

You can give each Subject a colour – this helps during scheduling, and for the printouts.

Basic Data

BasicData-thumbnail

This shows the Main Menu, and Step 1 : the Basic Data screen, with five big buttons.

Each button leads you to an entry screen.

To enter your data you would start at the left, and work your way across to the right.

Look how straightforward it is, compared to other programs !

And the fully-illustrated printed Manual explains each step, in detail.
