Step 1: 

After creating a teacher account, the first thing you'll need to do is name your planner. It will automatically be titled with the nearest school year by default, but you can change it to whatever you'd like. We recommend creating a planner for the entire school year unless your school is strictly semestered and no classes are taught in multiple semesters.

Step 2:

Next, you'll want to pick your start and end dates. You can do this by clicking in the start and end date areas of the box.

Note: You can edit these dates at any time after you complete the setup process. See this article for more information on editing your semester. 

When you're done, click the Next Step button in the top-right corner.

There are multiple ways to schedule classes on your timetable, so choose the method that works best for you.

Option 1 - Drag and drop method: Simply click on the subject you wish to schedule and drag it onto its desired position on the timetable.

You can edit the length of the class after it has been placed by dragging the two lines that appear on the bottom of the block. The next time you drag and drop a class, it will be the most common length used on the timetable so far.

Option 2 - Schedule in bulk: Click the scheduling icon to the right of the class you would like to schedule.

The following popup will appear for you to select the start and end times of the class, as well as the rotation days that you have this class in your timetable. You can enter the start and end times by typing in the time field or clicking the clock icons.

If your class appears on different times for each day, it may be easiest to schedule all instances at the same time and then move the blocks into the correct time slots.

Click Schedule when finished, and the class will appear on your timetable.

Option 3 - Draw method: Click and drag a box on the timetable to select a class to add, as pictured below. You can edit the start and end times in the window that appears.

Step 2:

Schedule the remaining classes on your timetable. Along with seeing the block now appear on your timetable, scheduled classes will also show in the side list with all of the Days they are currently scheduled on.

You can click on any existing block on your timetable to edit its details, including switching it to another class.

Once a class has been added to your timetable, you can move the block on your timetable by clicking on it and dragging it into a new position.

To edit the length of a class on your timetable, you can click on the two lines at the bottom of each block and drag then up and down.

If you need to remove a class from your timetable, simply move your cursor to the scheduled block and click the X that appears in the top-right corner.

Note: The planner supports overlapping classes! Simply schedule classes with overlapping start and end times and they'll appear side-by-side on the timetable. You can find more more information about overlapping classes in this support article.
