TimeEdit, module by module
TimeEdit names its modules in single words and Nordic institutions prefix them — TE Core, TE Reserve, TE Viewer. This page says what each one is called here, and is plain about the three that need more than a word.
TimeEdit to Wise Timetable
The module names below are TimeEdit's own; the prefixed forms (TE Core, TE Reserve) are what Nordic staff pages use.

|---|---|---|
| Core | Manual scheduling | The desktop planner. |
| AutoPilot | Automatic scheduling | Automatic generation. |
| Preferences | Collecting scheduling data | Lecturer availability, submitted by the lecturer. |
| Data Manager | Preparing scheduling data | Importing data. |

The three that need more than a word
Workload. TimeEdit sells workload as a module. Wise Timetable does both halves of it out of the timetable itself. The reporting half is hours by lecturer, by department and by programme, with unassigned sessions shown rather than quietly omitted. The costing half is a rate table in which every lecturer has their own line — everyone can be on a different contract — with rates that can differ by the kind of session or by the study programme, and a report that works out what is owed for a period from what each person actually taught. Paying lecturers from the timetable is the detail. What Wise Timetable does not run is a workload allocation model — the instrument that decides in advance how much of each kind of duty a post carries, which in most institutions is negotiated with a union rather than scheduled. If you need the model rather than the figures, say so early.
Curriculum and Study Guide. This one we do not have, and we will not stretch a word to pretend otherwise. Curriculum approval and the online course catalogue are a different product here, not a module of this one. There is an approval step on room bookings and on reports; there is no curriculum approval.
Evaluation. It depends which sense of the word, and the two senses are worth separating before a shortlist is drawn. If you mean student course-satisfaction surveys, we do not run surveys. If you mean the evidence of academic work that a lecturer signs and a faculty files, that is in the web administration: per lecturer, for a month or any period, split into teaching, consultations, colloquia, exams and other activities, with signature lines and a sheet heading the faculty writes once. Slovenian institutions ask for it by name — Evalvacija — and it is named that way in Slovenian for exactly that reason.
What actually has to move
Rooms, staff, courses and student structure, plus whatever the Preferences module has collected — availability is usually the data an institution most regrets losing, because it was gathered from hundreds of people one at a time.
Wise Timetable reads Excel, CSV, XML and a documented REST API. There is no TimeEdit-specific importer and this page will not imply one.
The wider question is in changing timetabling system.
