This page allows you to create, edit and delete groups visually.
The groups pane will always have a 'New Group' option as the last item. To create a new group, simply drag the educators, classes, rooms, and subjects onto the 'New Group' item. You may double click the group name to bring up a window that will allow you to set the group's criteria.
To remove a group or an educator/ class/ room/ subject from the group, simply select it and drag it to the trash-can below.
The groups are as simple or as complex as what you want it to be. It can consist of a single educator with nothing else added, to a group consisting of x number of educators, y number of classes, z number of rooms, and w number of subjects where x,y,z,w can range from zero to about 32000. Once again, it is as simple or complex as you require. If you don't need to specify the rooms, leave it out, if you only need control of the computer center or laboratories, that's all you need to enter.
You now have the ability to lock the educator/class/subject and or room and set the default
Min/Day, Max/Day and Per Cycle values. This allows for the easy creation of simple group
combinations.
My definition of a group would be: a logical combination of educators, classes, rooms and subjects that all require x amount of periods at the same time.
