4.2.2 Allocating Resources

The current view setting (see subsection 4.1.1) determines how resources are allocated to a lesson when it is scheduled by dropping a lesson card on the timetable window. If the current view setting is Venues, then the venue is set according to the timetable row corresponding to the drop position, and a teacher is allocated automatically; if the view setting is Teachers, then the teacher is set by the drop position, and a suitable venue is allocated automatically. If the view setting is Groups, then both the teacher and venue are set automatically by FineTime.

There may be occasions when more than one teacher or venue would be equally suitable for a particular lesson. In such cases, FineTime shows a list of the most suitable candidates for the lesson so that you can choose yourself which resource should be assigned to the lesson.

Should you wish to change a resource for a lesson, for example because you do not agree with FineTime's automatic choice, you can do this by moving the card to a different row in the appropriate view. For example, to change the teacher for a lesson, select the teacher view and move the card to the desired timetable slot.
