1 Faculty workload summary

Every professor on one run: each course they teach with its name, hours a week and total hours, a line of totals per professor, and a grand total for the department. Use this to see the whole term at once.

2 Individual loading sheets

One page per professor, with their contact details, every course they carry with its program and term, their totals, and a line to sign. Print one person, or the whole department as a stack of separate sheets.

3 Full program and course loading

Every program, broken into its terms, with each course, who is on it, and the hours. Ghosted terms are shaded and can be left out entirely.

Print what is on screen

The older printout, which copies the cards as they appear in the app, filters and all. The three reports above are built from the data instead and are the ones laid out for paper.

Report Options

Assignments file

Who teaches what, for a sheet that already holds the same courses. To move a whole sheet between machines, use Data → Export everything.

Back up the whole sheet

One file holding everything: every professor, every course with its assignment and hours, the programs that were imported, and the academic year they sit in. Keep it somewhere safe, move it to another machine, or put the sheet back after a browser is cleared.

Restore from a file

Reads a file made by Export everything and puts the sheet back as it was. This replaces what is in the browser now, so export the current sheet first if you want to keep it.

Narrower exports

For moving one part of a sheet rather than all of it. A professors file carries people and their details, with no courses; an assignments file carries who teaches what, for a sheet that already holds the same courses.

Academic Year Configuration

The drawer selector lists this year and the four that follow.

General Settings

Weekly load above this is flagged as an overload.

Stored Data

Professors, courses, assignments and imported programs are kept in this browser. Clearing empties the sheet: nothing is left to plan with until a program page is imported or a professor set is loaded.
