The user will from time to time want to manuallyplace both General and Subject Activities on the Timetable.
General Activities that will be placed will, for example include Assembly, Register and Breaks.
It might also be required that, for a specific Educator, a specific Subject Activity be placed on a specific day and period.
These actions will take place in twodistinctphases in the Timetable Setup.
Note: Best practice is to do the placement for the General Activitiesbefore doing subject allocations. Subject Activity Placement can per definition only
take place after Subject allocation has been completed successfully.

OR

(iii) Once an Activity has been selected, the background color of the Period in the Timetable will change as follows:
a. The Activity can be placed in the Period
b.The Activity can but should not be placed in the Period. This can happen in the following cases:
i. The class already has the specific Subject on another period of the same day.
ii. The Period is not in the preferred timeslot (Early, Mid or Late) for the Activity.
c. The Activity cannot be placed in the period. This can happen in the following cases:
i. When placing another General Activity will lead to an Educator, Class or Room being over utilized.
ii. If the Educatorassociated with the Subject Activity has another activity placed in the period.
iii. If the Class associated with the Subject Activity has anotheractivityplaced in the period.
iv. If the Room associated with the Subject Activity has another activity placed in the period.

(v) Select the Activity by Left Clicking on the Activity.
(vi) Move the mouse cursor to the Time slot Corresponding to the Day and Period where the Activity must be placed. Left Click on the Time slot where the
