Generating the timetable

Regenerating after a staffing change

Change the setup, regenerate, compare. The previous version stays exactly where it was.

The workflow

  1. 01Make the change on the relevant setup step, usually staff or classes.
  2. 02Re-run the Final Check to confirm the new arrangement can still be delivered.
  3. 03Generate a new version.
  4. 04Compare it with the current one before making it live.

Keeping disruption down

When you regenerate, you can ask Bell Path to stay close to the existing timetable rather than finding a fresh arrangement. That matters mid-term, when a timetable staff have already learned is worth more than a marginally better one they have not.

Reading the Final Check

The Final Check runs before generation so a school never pays for, or publishes, a timetable that cannot exist.

Still stuck

Tell us where the step stopped making sense.

If the next action was not obvious, that is a flaw in Bell Path rather than in you, and knowing exactly where it happened is the most useful thing you can send us.
