wTimetable - Ability to Link Multiple Periods Within a Block
Modules > wTimetable > Curriculum Plan
A new feature now allows users to link multiple periods within a block, enabling selected sessions to be scheduled together—even across breaks and lunches.
Linking Multiple Periods
Users can now select two or more periods within an expanded block and link them together using the new Link Period(s) option (accessible via right-click to select the periods and then left-click once to display the action).
Supported Block Types:
- Simple
- Linear
- Options
Linking Rules:
- Only unscheduled periods can be linked.
- Only consecutive periods (e.g., Period 2 and 3) can be linked.
- Periods already linked to others cannot be re-linked.
- If a double session exists and one period is linked, the second period will be automatically included.
Multiple Linking Visibility
To avoid confusion when multiple sets of periods are linked in the same block, each set of linked periods will be numbered (e.g., 1, 2, etc.). This helps users easily distinguish between different linked groupings.
Unlinking Periods
Users can unlink periods as follows:
- To unlink a single period: Left-click on the period and select Unlink Period(s).
- To unlink two or more periods: Right-click to select the periods, then left-click once to choose Unlink Period(s).
Rules for Unlinking:
- Only consecutive linked periods can be unlinked.
- All selected periods must belong to the same link group.
- The user must start from either the first or last period in the sequence — mid-sequence unlinking is not allowed.
- Clicking on one of two linked periods unlinks both.
- Clicking on one of three or more linked periods will only unlink the selected one if it's at the edge of the sequence.
Remove all Links:
Users can left-click on any period within a linked group (without right-clicking) to remove the entire link set.
Auto Schedule Linked Periods
During scheduling of a linked multiple sessions, the following constraints will be ignored:
- AM/PM Register
- Splitting Lunch
- Breaks: BR,AS,PS,LU
- Rule of “only one class per day”
Double Sessions Across Breaks in MIS
When the timetable is applied in the MIS, any linked double sessions that span a break will be registered as two separate single sessions across the following areas:
- Staff > Actions > Staff Timetabling
- Staff > Staff Profile > Details > Timetable Panel
- Staff > Staff Profile > Timetable
- Modules > Attendance > User Timetable
- Modules > Cover
- Modules > Curriculum > View Timetables
