A practical planning example
Three year groups sit exams over four days. A practical paper uses a specialist room while two written papers share a hall at separate times.
Set up this workflow
- Enter each paper as a dated activity with an explicit start time and duration.
- Assign invigilators as people and halls or laboratories as resources; check capacity against the intended group.
- Account for setup, movement and clearing time before approving the session sequence.
Prepare, review and publish
Choose your dates, timezone, open days and breaks. Set person and resource profiles before entering activities. Generate a candidate draft, inspect unplaced work and conflicts, and compare alternatives where useful. Keep manual review in the process: a quality score helps compare candidates and is not a guarantee of an optimal schedule.
What to check before rollout
Review room and invigilator exports against the exam brief. This workflow plans activities; it does not allocate individual candidate seats or certify examination-board compliance.

Account access and outputs
Public demos use sample data. Creating workspaces and entering your own scheduling details require a verified email and active paid subscription. A verified email and active subscription are required for paid generation, publication and timetable exports. Paid access covers all five workspaces within your account scope. Use the live billing page for current pricing and available payment methods. Check exported PDF, Excel, Word or CSV files with the software your team uses before distribution.
