Home / Welcome to TimeTabler

 

Dear Timetabler,

Welcome to the club !   We will update our records, and add you to our monthly TimeTabler NewsLetter.

Please find some clickable links below, to information that you may find useful when learning about TimeTabler … but any questions, let us know.

We suggest that you read through the list and follow any recommendations that seem appropriate to your situation; for example, by downloading the latest copies of helpful documents, or signing-up with our free Support Centre, staffed by timetabling experts.

 

If you have specific questions not covered by these notes, just let us know.

We also suggest that you ‘bookmark’ this page, in case you wish to refer back to it later in the timetabling process.

 


Getting Started

 

See what our Users say about our Programs in our Comments and Testimonials.

If you are new to timetabling in general, you may find this page helpful.

TimeTabler on a laptop screenAnd if you are new to TimeTabler then please see these suggestions.

We also provide a Book on timetabling, suitable for the novice timetabler right through to the experienced timetabler.

Before starting work please download a copy of the latest QuickStart Guide.

You will also find it helpful to download the ‘How do I…?’ document.

 

 

 

 

 


Help & Support

 

To see the range of Help & Support that we provide, visit this page.
And also see this e-booklet which gives more details.

See also our “Gold-Start” Plan, which you may find useful.

See the HelpMovies (video tutorials) … these are a good way to get a “flavour” of what TimeTabler is about.

For available Training and Courses, see this page.
Training comes in many shapes and sizes; it can include visits to your school, you visiting a course, workshops where you work on your timetable alongside other timetablers, webinars over the internet, right through to hiring someone to create your timetable for you.
See some examples from our Associates MIST Services.

To reduce costs, you can purchase vouchers for training here.

Our online Support Centre and KnowledgeBase … the first time you use it, please take a moment to register your details … but thereafter, you can ask as many questions on here as you like; just send us your question as a ticket and we will answer (almost always within the hour, and often within 10 minutes).

You should also have a copy of the 200+ page printed Manual.   If you don’t have this for any reason (it comes in a ringbinder), you can buy a replacement.

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

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.
