Timetable
The timetable as a calendar — week, day or month — for you, a section, a teacher, a room, a student or a programme; each class opens its register. The weekly pattern, with the clashes marked, is one press away.

Rooms
Every room that can be timetabled or examined in: seats, exam seats, type, equipment, step-free access and opening hours. A room is booked by the timetable, never typed.

Buildings
The buildings rooms are in, each on a campus.

Room Bookings
One-off events asked for a room: a guest lecture, a society, an interview day. Approved, a booking holds the room like a class does; a clash is refused when it is approved.

Room Closures
Dates a room cannot be used: refurbishment, an open day, a fault. The timetable and bookings are refused over them.

Meeting Patterns
What the timetable builder is asked to place for a section: hours a week, session length, preferred days, room type and equipment. A section without one keeps the shape of the meetings it has.

Timetable Runs
The automatic builder: build a conflict-free timetable for a term as a preview, see what it could not place and why, then apply it or throw it away. Exam scheduling runs land here too.

Timetable Clashes
Every clash on file: a room or an instructor in two places, students in two sections at once, a room with fewer seats than the section. Empty is the goal.

Scheduling Settings
Whether an over-full room warns or is refused, whether student clashes are checked, the teaching day the builder works in, and the exam rules.
