What does TTMaker do?

Put simply, TTMaker automatically schedules groups of people. It can schedule individual people or groups of 10, 20, 50, 100, ... people.

TTMaker is clash-free scheduling software. "Clash-free" means that no person is scheduled in more than one place at the same time. TTMaker automatically ensures that your completed schedule is clash-free; you don't have to manually prevent clashes, or manually fix them after the schedule has been built.

How do I use TTMaker?

For scheduling purposes, TTMaker uses the terms "participant", "group" and "venue". In an education environment, here's what these terms mean to you:
student or teacher is a participant
class or course is a group
classroom, lecture theatre, or sports ground is a venue

Here are the typical steps you'd take to use TTMaker for creating a school or university schedule:

  1. Enter your students and teachers as TTMaker participants. To save typing, you can use TTMaker's powerful import facility if you already have this information in electronic form.
  2. Create a TTMaker group for each class or course. Add the teacher and the students as members of the groups in which they participate.
  3. Create your classrooms, lecture theatres, sports grounds, etc. as TTMaker venues.
  4. Create the days and timeslots for your schedule. TTMaker has extremely flexible features for day and timeslot definitions.
  5. Click the "Build timetable" button to automatically generate your clash-free timetable.

What else can TTMaker do for me?

Our scheduling software provides many powerful features to give you control as your timetable is automatically built.

Here are some of the things you can do:

  • Control which venues your classes can be scheduled into by specifying the facilities that the venues provide and the groups require. For example, a singing class may need a room with a piano.
  • Control which venues your classes can be scheduled into by creating your own definition. We call these "styles". For example, you could give all your science labs the style "Science" and all your science classes could then be restricted, automatically, to the science labs.
  • Control how many times a class is scheduled in your timetable. Also, you can control how many times a class is scheduled in each day.
  • Provide availability information to control when classes are available for scheduling in each day.
  • Provide availability information to control when individual teachers and students are available for scheduling in each day.
  • Control how many consecutive timeslots a class requires when it is scheduled.
  • Use powerful venue rules to control the way classes are scheduled in a venue's timeslots.

How do I get started?

The first step is to download TTMaker and try its powerful scheduling for yourself.

We recommend that you use a small sample of your data and create a timetable with the demonstration version of TTMaker. By trying TTMaker with a small sample of your data, you'll quickly determine whether it is the right software for you.
