Before you begin adding enrollment periods and setting up your schedule you must first configure your “District Settings”. You will see the District Settings tab located under the Master Scheduler module:

These settings only need to be configured once, when you originally install the app, they do not need to be updated each new enrollment period. However, you can update them as needed.

NOTE: You MUST add in departments, subject areas, courses and rooms in order for the Master Scheduler to work properly. 

Departments

To add a department click on the “Configure Department” and then click on “Add Department”. You must at minimum enter in Department, Minimum, Target and Maximum size constraints. Adding an abbreviation is optional:

Rooms

To add a room click on the “Configure Room” button and then click on the “Add Room” button. You must enter in a room code and a room name (they can both be the same if you prefer).

There are other fields that are optional but are quite useful for tracking details on courses. Keep in mind that details added to courses here will affect all schools that use master scheduler.
