The Staffing App is more than a timetabling tool

Before Subject Selection
Ensure
Feasibility
Evaluating the number of classes that can be staffed prior to subject selection can inform the range of elective options offered to students. The semester feature helps balance staff loads across the year and gives visibility on where options may need to be restricted to one semester. This proactive approach ensures that students are making choices that result in grids that can be staffed, and reducing the disappointment of missed preferences due to classes not running.
During Grid Creation
Evaluating staffing impact is crucial when determining the number of classes to run. The Staffing App allows for easy testing of different gridline configurations and class numbers and their respective impacts on staffing. It allows for the balancing of loads while constructing gridlines across multiple-year groups. This eliminates the need to switch between student option files for a holistic view of staff loads, thereby streamlining the grid construction process.
