Once you have entered (see chapter 2) or imported (see chapter 3) your school details, you can begin the work of devising your timetable. In the reservoir area of the FineTime window you can see the lesson cards which have been generated for each student group according to the courses they are taking. Your task is to schedule the lessons by moving these cards to the appropriate locations in the timetable area of the FineTime window.
You may choose to schedule all the lessons yourself by dragging lesson cards from the reservoir to the timetable using the mouse, or you can use FineTime's automatic scheduling feature to considerably ease your task. It is also possible to combine the manual and automatic approaches to create your optimum timetable while still saving a great deal of time and effort.
In section 4.1 of this chapter we describe how you can set the timetable view to highlight different aspects of your timetable, and to facilitate lesson scheduling. Section 4.2 explains how to schedule lessons by dragging lesson cards with the mouse and how to use automatic scheduling.
