All the buttons and the controls, are explained when you click on the button.

A professional result.

Visual Builder Screen

This is the main screen on which you do the actual scheduling.
You can sit at this Visual Builder Screen and drag-and-drop to ‘drive’ through the timetable.

Subjects Screen

This is the screen for saying which Subjects you will want to timetable.

You can return here at any time to edit / alter your data.

Basic Data

Each button leads you to an entry screen.

To enter your data you would start at the left, and work your way across to the right.

And the fully-illustrated printed Manual explains each step, in detail.
