i want to make a timetable for school. every teacher is teaching 2 subjects and has a minimum of 3 classes per day and there are 4 sections. so how can i create a timetable that will automatically generate the time table when put teacher name with their subject? Any Solutions?
we'll need a bit more information; how many teachers are there? how long is each period? [not very necessary, on further reflection] how many periods are there in a day?
Surprise!! Is that possible? I am also looking for it. But doesnot know how to design algorithm..
It should be possible to turn the table into a mutable one. I can try making it.

wow.. Happy to hear that.. school period starts at 10.15 am and first 4 periods have 45 mins each and it ends at 1.15 pm.. then lunch break from 01.15 pm to 2.00 pm. then 5th period starts from 2.00 pm to 2.40 pm, then 6th period from 2.40pm to 3.20 pm and last period that is 7th period starts from 3.20 pm to 4.00 pm.
there are 10 techers. every teacher can teach 2 to 3 subjects and in one day maximum period he get is 3. there are 4 sections. that means at a time 4 classes are going on.
There are also some optional subjects in which for a single section and for that single period there must 4 teachers go to that class to teach the the same section(students will move to differernt extra classroms to study the optional subjects)
i have seen a website where the timetable is created automatically when we enter teachers name, subjects that they are teaching, subjects, optional subjects, no. of classes, no. of sections etc. then it automatically generate the timetable for that school. should i give the website link for more clarification??
Sure!
This is a data modelling problem.
Seeing a working example would help expose the underlying data model.

That is a highly evolved web site with experienced assistance available.
So I have to ask, are you doing this
- as a Computer Science exercise (run your own dairy farm), or are you doing it
- just to solve one problem and be done with it? (buy some milk)
actually i dont know how to do it..coz m new to this.. but really want to do this.. it will help me a lot...can we just start with a normal timetable for only teachers and only one class
In that case, you need a solid foundation to build on.
Have you ever used
- tables, with rows and columns?
- a spreadsheet?
- SQL ?
- a relational database?
nope sir.. i m totally new
Here is a taste of what would be in store for you if you follow this path ...
Read it and decide how far you want to go.

i started with teachers name, class name and subjects name.. i put them in their respective spinner.. then what should i do?
Start a Google Sheet, and type those three lists into separate sheets, appropriately named, one per column.
Don't hardwire data into your app. It annoys the Blocks Editor and any one trying to work on your app.
You also will need sheets for:
- school calendar (dates school is in session) for the current term
- class periods (period name, start time, end time)
If your school has different periods on different days, you will also need a sheet for:
- calendar periods for the current term, listing which periods are available on which dates, with 2 columns:
- date
- period name
Decide for yourself whether you want to type all that up directly into a sheet from your PC (easy), or code part of your app to add/edit that data into the various sheets of your app.
I recommend the sheets because they make the data for your app easy to update and visible to people maintaing your app.
For sheet setup, see the Spreadsheet component docs.
I ll try sir
how to send data to the spreadsheet? i put the spreadsheet id and in the block section i used write col block. But it does not appear in the spreadsheet.
To diagnose this, we would need:
- The exported .aia file
- A link to the spreadsheet (View allowed)
- The name of the Screen where the problem occurs
- A Downloaded Blocks Image of the block issuing the request.
