When the schedule is published, you may want to display it together with direct links to online meeting platforms such as MS Teams, Zoom, or Google Meet. This allows students and lecturers to join their virtual classes with a single click. This article explains how to set up and manage those links within Wise Timetable.
You can combine multiple student groups (cohorts) to attend a single class. Wise Timetable will automatically calculate the total number of students across all groups and suggest an appropriately sized classroom. If needed, this number can be adjusted manually, for example, when you know that only a smaller subset of students will actually attend a particular course or module.
How many times have you tried to exchange classes, only to discover overlapping conflicts that make it impossible? Wise Timetable offers a powerful solution to this common scheduling headache. With our intelligent conflict control tool, you can:
● Instantly detect overlaps between classes, rooms, teachers, and student groups
● Safely attempt swaps and receive real-time feedback on feasibility
● Ensure schedule integrity while exploring flexible alternatives
Whether you're managing a complex university timetable or fine-tuning a weekly schedule, this feature helps you stay in control and avoid surprises.
Instead of always selecting "View" on the main screen and then choosing a tutor, room, group, course or student, Wise Timetable also allows a faster way. When you are working on a single lecture slot and want to immediately see its tutor, room or group timetable, you can simply use function keys to switch directly to the correct view. This way you save time and stay focused on your work.
Wise Timetable instantly detects scheduling conflicts and highlights them across the whole timetable. You can choose to solve them automatically, make manual changes, or allow exceptions where needed. This way the timetable stays accurate, flexible, and practical for everyday university use.
Wise Timetable provides a wide range of reports that help universities manage their resources better. From tutor workloads to room usage and unallocated lectures, everything can be analyzed in detail. This ensures that management decisions are based on accurate data and real scheduling needs.
