Building the timetable
Conflict detection and safe swaps
How many times have you tried to exchange two classes, only to discover an overlap that makes it impossible? Wise Timetable detects clashes as they are created and tells you whether a swap will work before you make it.
Detected immediately, across every dimension
A clash is not only two sessions in one room. It is a lecturer in two places, a student group double-booked, a laboratory session without its equipment, or a cohort scheduled across two buildings with four minutes to walk between them.
Wise Timetable checks all of these continuously and highlights conflicts across the whole timetable the moment they appear, rather than in a validation pass you have to remember to run.
- Overlaps between classes, rooms, lecturers and student groups
- Capacity violations where a group no longer fits its room
- Equipment and facility conflicts
- Violations of lecturer availability as submitted by the lecturer
- Breaches of institutional rules such as maximum daily teaching load
Test the swap before you commit
The exchange tool is the part administrators tend to notice first. Select two sessions you would like to swap and the system tells you immediately whether the exchange is feasible — and if not, exactly what blocks it.
That turns an afternoon of trial and error into a few seconds of checking, and it means you can explore alternatives safely rather than making a change, discovering a downstream clash, and unpicking it.
- Instant feasibility feedback on any proposed exchange
- The blocking reason identified, not just a refusal
- Automatic resolution where a clean solution exists
- Manual override with a recorded exception where you decide the rule should bend
- Schedule integrity maintained while you explore alternatives
Exceptions, handled honestly
Sometimes the right answer is to break a rule deliberately. A professor agrees to an extra hour; two groups genuinely can share a session this once. Wise Timetable allows exceptions rather than forcing you to distort your constraint set to accommodate a one-off — and records them, so the exception does not silently become the new normal.
