Timetable generator now has break time and level wide courses

Previously, i released an open source time table system built with laravel. This project is particularly useful for institutions that want to schedule their time tables automatically but do not have the means to.

New Features

• Settings

There is a new settings page which allows you access a settings feature. With this new feature, users can now set their preferred break time by selecting the break time drop menu on the /settings page.

• Level

A level link has also been added to the main menu bar as seen in the image above. With this new feature, you can list courses that will be offered by all students in a particular level, per session, per semester. It's like adding courses to a department; except that there is no department included here.

Now when you add courses, you need to generate schedule so that it assigns a fixed slot on the time table. If you then generate time table for a particular department, you will notice that all level wide courses that bind the department will have been introduced, just as it's supposed to be.

• Break Time

Finally, when you generate a time table, you'll notice that the break period you set from /settings has taken effect. It fills up the entire column and prints a Break string.

Demo

A demo of this application can be previewed for now at timetable.tosinsoremekun.com. I plan to make this a free SaaS platform so i'll be getting a domain name and host it on a VPS. Again, all this is subject to availability of funds.
