Print the annual timetables
- Go to the tab:
- Select the resources in the list on the left.
- Click on the button in the tool bar.
- In the popup window, select the Type of output and define the formatting options in the tabs:
- Page: you can add information on the top or bottom of the page, especially the variables; New You can print the variable Permission slip on the students timetable.
- Contents: tick the information to appear in the courses;
- Layout
: you can print several timetables per page. Verify the results in the preview to be sure that it is legible;
- Presentation
: you can modify the font, times to be printed along side of the grids, the criteria according to which the courses are colored (the colors are those associated with the subjects and classes) (Color).
- Verify the results using Preview and then click on the button Print.
Display the A/B weeks in the printed timetables
- In the print window, go to the tab Contents.
- In the rubric Information in the courses, tick Fortnight. EDT takes and displays the designation defined in the menu Parameters > institution
> Calendar (Week A/Week B).
Note: you may want to print a timetable for each of the two weeks. For this, tick A grid per fortnight in the tab Layout and then in the tab Page insert the tag
Fortnight in the Grid title in order to know what week it is.
Display the name of the class in the printed timetables
- In the print window, go to the tab Page.
- Place the cursor in the field Grid title, click on the button Insert and choose the tag Name.
New Print a daily course in one block
Daily courses taking place at the same time can be printed in one go.
- In the print window, go to the tab Layout.
- In the frame Organization of timetables, tick the option Merge the identical courses.
Keep multiple timetables on one page
- In the print window, go to the tab Layout.
- Click on the number of timetables wanted per page and select the most appropriated orientation in relation with this number (for example, an orientation Portrait for 2 timetables; Landscape for 4).
- Verify the legibility with the Preview. If some courses do not have the space to be displayed, they are replaced by suspension points.
- You have several options to hold all the information:
- tick Ignore the time frames without a course (tab Layout) so you do not print empty lines: if a class or teacher never has class after a certain time, the timetable stops at that time, even
if other classes may take place later in the institution;
- opt for more concise wording (rubric Information in the courses tab Contents): you can display the name of the teacher without the first name or civil status, prefer the code of the subject
to its designation, hide the names of the groups...
- reduce the size of the font (tab Presentation);
- to avoid printing too small, set up a referral system (tab Presentation): if the information to be displayed is outside the frame (for example, for complex courses with multiple sessions), it is not truncated but displayed
at the bottom of the page or in the timetable;
- if the timetable changes significantly from one period to the next or from one fortnight to the next, prefer to print two separate timetables to limit the amount of information on each (A timetable per period or
A grid per fortnight, tab Disposition).
Fore increased legibility, in advance, you can:
- group the class meetings of the complex courses (Complex courses);
- launch the printing from the student’s timetable rather than the class's timetable: every student only sees the courses that concern them.
Print without or with few colors
- In the print window, you can:
- choose Print in black and white;
- print the text rather than the background in color (tab Presentation, box, Courses' color). In this case, be sure to allocate relatively dark colors to the subjects (or classes, if you
choose this criterion of coloring for the teachers' timetables) (Color).

- Go to the tab Daily management and absences > Teachers/Classes/Students > Timetable.
- Select the resources in the list on the left.
- Click on the button in the tool bar.
- In the popup window, select the Type of output and define the formatting options in the tabs.
