Use the mouse to drag the right and bottom edges of the grid to the size you require for your school cycle. Click on the cells in the grid to change any Day names. Also, you may reserve a period for the whole school by clicking on the relevant cell and typing in a descriptive text. To remove text click on the cell and erase the text.

Up to two breaks can be specified by dragging the vertical bars between the period numbers to the right or left. The example shows only one break as the second break has been moved to the beginning of the day. Note that such breaks affect the whole school.

Should you require more flexible breaks, move the bars to the beginning and end of the day so as to disable them. Then designate the required periods as breaks by typing in text such as 'Break'. Of course you will need to increase the number of periods in the day to compensate. The number of available periods in the school cycle will be shown in the box at the top left.

It is also possible to have a variable number of periods per day. Simply set the number of periods per day equal to the maximum number and then block off unwanted periods by typing in text such as 'Free'.

Remember that these arrangements will apply to the whole school. If periods are to be reserved for individual grades, see the Reserved Periods tab.
