TimeTabler joins The Key Group

Wednesday, May 15th, 2024

Leaving NOVA-T for TimeTabler

We’re thrilled to announce that TimeTabler has joined the MIS Division at The Key Group.
The Key Group is home to a number of leading, school-focused software brands including Arbor, The Key, and GovernorHub, and we know this will be a great new home for our community of schools.
We’d like to explain a little more about why we’ve made this decision, and what it means for you, our school timetablers:

Why have we taken this decision ?

We’re passionate about supporting even more schools with TimeTabler, Options and StaffCover, and want to bring in new investment and expertise to help us do this. We chose The Key Group as they have a strong focus on supporting schools to get the most from their operational software – whether that’s MIS, accounting software, or timetabling tools. They share our values, support TimeTabler’s mission, and have the investment needed to keep TimeTabler at the forefront and develop it into the future.

What does this mean for you ?

You will still use the same great software and be supported by the same team you’ve always worked with – the only difference is that we will be adding new colleagues to the Team, who share our passion for helping schools to get the most from their software !
TimeTabler will continue to integrate with all the same MIS / SIS / Admin systems, so schools can continue to use TimeTabler and Options regardless of which MIS you use. Our wonderful community of Associates will be staying with us too.

We’re really excited about what the future holds with TimeTabler as part of The Key Group.  If you have any thoughts or comments at any time, just let us know at letusknow@timetabler.com.

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.

 

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.

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

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.

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.
 

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.
