Timetable Manager

Overview

A timetable belongs to one batch. It holds many slots: each slot is a recurring weekly entry (day of week, start time, end time). Multiple timetables can exist for one batch but only one is isActive at a time.

Creating a timetable

1. Open the batch from Tutor dashboard → Batches.
2. Click Timetable in the batch sidebar → New timetable.
3. Give it a title — e.g. "Term 1 (Jan–Mar 2026)".
4. Click Create. The timetable starts empty.

Adding slots

1. In the timetable editor, click any empty cell in the 7×24 grid.
2. The slot dialog opens — set day of week, start/end time, and the optional fields below.
3. Save. The slot appears on the grid.
4. Drag the slot to reschedule, or grab its edges to resize.

Slot fields

• dayOfWeek (0=Sunday … 6=Saturday).
• startTime / endTime — 24-hour HH:MM.
• subject — e.g. Physics.
• teacherName — useful when you have multiple teachers on the same batch.
• room — e.g. Room 2A, or Online.
• recurrenceEnd — optional date when this slot stops recurring (e.g. mid-term break).

Publishing & deactivating

A new timetable starts active. Toggle isActive to take it offline without deleting — useful when you switch to a new term:

1. Build "Term 2" timetable while "Term 1" is still active.
2. On term boundary, deactivate Term 1 and activate Term 2 in one click.
3. Students' calendars update on next iCal refresh.

Student view

Enrolled students see slots aggregated across all their batches in their timetable. They can also subscribe to a live iCal feed that updates as you change the timetable.

The aggregation only includes active timetables — so deactivating a timetable removes it from every student's view immediately.
