How can we specify the Long Breaks/Recess times?
If there are longer breaks between periods that shall be explicitly indicated in the timetable printouts (e.g. recess, lunch, long break,...), you can add them by using the menu: "School (1.) - Bell times/Rename periods (2.) - Add break that will be printed between lessons (3.)".
In the new dialog Period (4.) you can specify:
- the name and the abbreviation of the break - this will be printed in timetables headers,
- position before period - create only one break between periods
- bell-times - when the break starts and ends
- custom text for printouts - this text will be printed in the the timetables break's column,
- reports the break should be printed in - you can specify exactly in which reports you wish to display this break,
- specify the bell-times for printing - you can select the group of classes assigned into specified Bell, where the break will be printed,
- specify if double lesson can/can not be over this break.
You can notice a break's indicator on the main screen - bold thick between periods numbers.
The break is always printed as an entire row or column in the timetable.
Notes:
- it is not necessary to add every break. You will be able to display bell-times for periods on the printouts, so students will see exactly how much time they have between periods,
- by default no double lesson can span over created break. See: All double lessons can be over certain break
- do not create more than one break between periods, even if the offline software allows you. It is not supported online.
