Timetabling help videos
MIST Services have created a series of video clips that step you through different stages of timetabling. Some videos are for Facility and Facility Scheduler while others are software independant. To see Help clips for TimeTabler, please click on the Help-movies button at the top-right of each key screen in TimeTabler. A sample of these Help-movies appears here.
Should any of the clips pose questions please make a note accordingly and either email them in advance or bring them to the workshop to allow them to be answered.
