What is the clash rule

Learn how the timetable stops teachers and rooms from being double-booked.

The builder will not let one teacher or room be in two places at once.

What to do

  1. Open Academics → Class timetable and pick a class.
  2. Click an empty cell and choose a teacher.
  3. A busy teacher is greyed out, with where they are busy.
  4. Pick another teacher, or move the other lesson.

The rule

  • A teacher cannot have two lessons that overlap on the same day, in any class.
  • A room cannot be used by two lessons that overlap.
  • Lessons next to each other are fine. One can end at 08:45 and the next can start at 08:45.
  • Co-teachers count too. They are blocked elsewhere, like the lead teacher.
