Before you start

For Administrators, Registrars, Operations managers, School owners

  • Select the academic year you are preparing.
  • Prepare class names, optional grade levels, teacher assignments and capacities.

Create the class

Open Classes and choose Add Class. Enter a clear name, such as Grade 5A, and the capacity and other fields shown. Use a grade level when it fits your school structure; mixed or custom classes need not imply a single grade.

Assign the class teacher

Choose the appropriate homeroom or class teacher. Check that the staff record belongs to the current school.

Assign subject teachers

Use the teacher-assignment controls to connect a teacher with the subject they teach in each class. A homeroom assignment alone does not cover every subject required for scheduling.

Review class members

On the full platform, add students to the class and review the roster. Confirm both the school year and subject choices when a student belongs to several classes.

Set weekly subject periods

In scheduling setup, enter the number of periods needed for each class and subject. Compare the total with available teaching slots before generating a timetable.

Good practice

  • Use consistent class names across imports, enrolment and scheduling.
  • Review teacher assignments whenever staffing changes.
  • Standalone AI Timetable classes do not require student enrolment.
