Management of Time-Table for an institute is always a critical job, wherein it is utmost necessary that the periods are allocated to teachers and classes in a manner that fulfills several and, sometimes, stringent requirements. Some institutes work on 6 days a week and 8 periods in a day with only 1 recess, while others work on 5 days in a week and 9 periods in a day with 2 recesses. Some even work for 10 periods a day with 3 recesses. Average load per teacher varies from a few periods to as high as 36 periods in a week. There are groups of classes taken together. Some classes are grouped together and then attended to by a group of teachers. Some classes are split into two, three or four labs. Some classes are held in special rooms. The concept, the design and development of TTABLE take care of all such important requirements of institutions. Time-Table can now be prepared with all your conditions fulfilled. TTABLE has been designed to be transparent. It provides for all possible combinations and is equipped with all tools that you may need to specify your custom requirements. TTABLE is a user friendly, completely menu driven, interactive dedicated software, designed and developed for management of time-tables. The present version is for schools. It manages Time-Table up to 6 days a week and up to 10 periods a day and accommodates 3 recesses, with absolute flexibility. It accommodates parallel teachers and/or common (combined) classes, simultaneous allocations, two consecutive classes, laboratory periods, fixed test periods and many more. There are several convenient features for advanced users. TTABLE has a data entry module for Teachers/Classes weekly work load. This is the most convenient way of data entry. It also has a special procedure to build distribution table for a teacher from the allocations for that teacher.

	INFORMATION NEEDED BEFORE USING TTABLE The following information should be chalked out before proceeding to prepare Time-Table. Parameters for Time-Table - No. of days / week, No. of periods per day, Position of recesses (Max. 3), No. of Sections of each Class. List of all teachers. Class for which the teacher is in charge of, for each teacher. Classes, Subjects, no. of periods assigned to each teacher a week Parallel Teachers for elective subjects, SUPW etc. Classes to be attended to together (Common/Combined Classes) Consecutive Periods. List of all subject codes TIME REQUIRED TO MAKE TIME-TABLE USING TTABLE [Based on Pentium 233 MHz, 10 GB Hard Disk and 32 MB RAM] Time required for making Time-Table with the help of TTABLE is discussed below. Data Entry with Class-wise, subject-wise Data Validation: Time taken to complete this activity depends upon the number of teachers and the pace of Data Entry Operator. On an average, it may take a minute for each Weekly Work Load Table or Assignment Table or Distribution Table. Allocation (Custom and Auto): The time for this activity depends upon the number of teachers. User input shows that an allocation takes about a minute per distribution table per round. Auto-allocation takes about 3 seconds per teacher on an average. The time taken for readjustment depends upon complexity of the allocations and the load per teacher. In most of the cases auto-optimisation takes about 15 seconds per shortfall. On a faster computer, the time taken is relatively less. TTABLE may be installed on a computer with best configuration. THE PACKAGE Presently, TTABLE software is supplied on the on a System CD with a Hardware Lock. TTABLE requires a free diskspace of about 10 megabytes. A diskspace of 50 megabytes is desirable. TTABLE is installed with the help of the TTABLE System CD. The System CD can be used to re-install TTABLE on another computer, should it become necessary. SYSTEM CONFIGURATION The minimum configuration of the Computer System is AT-386 with 4 MB RAM. The software uses Expanded Memory (EMS), to reduce the requirement of Conventional Memory. 8 MB RAM is advisable and at least 2 MB should be allocated to EMS. Under Windows 3.1/3.11, it can be run as any other MSDOS application. Under Windows 95, it should be run only after restarting the computer in the MSDOS mode, so that the key diskette is accepted. There is no need to restart the computer in MSDOS Mode, If TTABLE is invoked using a Hardware Lock.
