When you are managing the timetable in school you won't need all the screens that are available in NOVA. The main ones you will be dealing with are the following;

• Block Screen. Here you can;
  • Edit the teachers for each lesson
  • Move lessons to different times
  • Lock and unlock lessons so that they don't move around the timetable
• Classes screen. Here you can;
  • Edit staff that are teaching the class
  • Add rooms (but if they are added here then they are harder to change from the timetable view)
  • Add facilities if needed
• NCC (Non Class Code) screen. Here you can;
  • Add meetings/ PPA/ blanks for part timers/ other items that you might want on a timetable like a duty or on call rota.

Watch the video and take some notes on what is happening in each screen.

Now you have seen the video go back to your copied file (don't practice on the actual timetable file) and explore the radio buttons, drop downs and options so that you are more familiar with the screens.

Once you are comfortable then complete this section and move onto the next part of the course.
