How to Export to your MIS (SIS) or Admin System


 

Overview of Exporting:

When you have completed your timetable in TimeTabler , you can export your final schedule to any of the MIS (Management Information Systems) listed below.
All exports are with the full agreement and cooperation of the MIS Supplier concerned, and in many cases we are also Official Partners of the MIS/SIS/Admin-System supplier.

The documentation (which you can read by clicking on the links lower down the page) describes what you have to do, in detail – and it comes in 3 parts:

  • Export-Doc-1    Preparing your data for Export  (scroll down to Part 1 below)
  • Export-Doc-2    Exporting from TimeTabler  (scroll down to Part 2 below)
  • Export-Doc-3    Importing into your MIS system   (scroll down to Part 3 below)


Can you check my export data for me ?
(Note that if you prefer, then our Training Partners, MIST Services, offer 2 services:
(1) a service where the TimeTabler data is checked and reconciled and ensures all the validations ‘pass’, allowing your timetable to be imported into your MIS. This service is just £75+vat. If this is of interest, please email:  mist@mistservices.co.uk   or
(2) a fuller service where they will transfer your timetable into your MIS – details here).

 Part 1    Preparing & entering your data into TimeTabler:

For most (but not all) exports, you want the names of your Staff, Subjects, Rooms, etc., to be the same in TimeTabler as in your MIS.    For almost all exports, you can schedule using different names if you wish to, and only match when you come to export (so you can schedule in TimeTabler calling a teacher ‘CJo’ even if in your MIS he is called ‘CJOHNS’) … but it usually saves time at the end if you make sensible choices while you are entering your data into TimeTabler, from the start.
So we suggest that you use this document while you are preparing & entering your data into TimeTabler: Export-Doc-1 : Preparing for Export (400kB).

This document also explains about 2-stage (double) importing, which can be a big advantage to you and to your office colleagues.

Any questions; just ask us on the Support Centre.
