The Timetabler module is a stand-alone tool for building school timetables. It imports data from d6+ and lets you set up and refine a timetable without affecting anything in d6+ until you are ready to upload. Once complete, the timetable is uploaded to d6+ to create subject groups and generate timetables per learner, staff member, class, or venue.

Frequently asked questions

Does the Timetabler module affect d6+ while I am building the timetable?

No. The Timetabler is stand-alone and does not affect d6+ until you upload the completed timetable. You can build and refine the timetable freely before uploading.

What do I need to do in d6 before starting in the Timetabler?

Before setting up a timetable for the next year, complete the Admin Year-end Preparation first, to allocate learners into their new classes, complete Step 1 of the Curriculum Setup, and assign subjects to all the learners. The Timetabler imports this data from d6+. For assistance with these steps, contact support@d6plus.co.za.

How is the Timetabler licensed?
