  • To be read first

By dividing the year into periods in EDT, you can manage major variations in timetables at the start of the year (change of timetable for each term or semester, three-week trip with reorganization of timetable for classes remaining at the institution, etc.).

In many cases, period management in EDT is not necessary. If your modifications concern only a few courses (substitutions, canceled courses, one-off courses, etc.), make them in the display Daily management and absences.  Find out more about weekly management.

1 - Periods must be created only when the timetable changes during the year.

If some courses are not held all year round

If courses are only held for part of the year, create your periods before placing the courses.
  • Your classes are taught on a three-monthly basis, activate the trimestral breakdown.
  • If your classes have semester courses, activate the semestrial breakdown.

    If some of your classes have trimestral courses and others semestrial, you can activate both breakdowns.
  • If your classes take place during certain weeks of the year, activate the weekly breakdown.

If you need to rearrange your timetable

If all your classes are year-round, and you need to rearrange your timetable during the year (for example a trip for 3 weeks, or an internship for 2 months), activate a customized breakdown when the main timetable has been calculated.

2 - When you work on a period, you only act on that period.

When you select a week on the week or period slider:

  • you only see:
    • courses taking place during this period,
    • the resources available for this period in the course form,
    • the unavailability entered for this period.
  • you only act during this period:
    • to enter unavailability,
    • to allocate resources to courses,
    • for the creation, duplication, transformation, deletion and certain modifications of courses (place, duration, frequency, discipline, weighting, designation, site, modalities, respect of recesses).

Caution, certain characteristics are always modified for the entire year: subject, stationary/variable placement properties, export status, locking.

3 - The periods that can be configured in EDT must not be confused with the grading periods that are configured in PRONOTE.

A grading period corresponds to a trimester or semester, but also to any period for which you wish to calculate an average (for example a mock exam) or edit a competence assessment (for example a monthly assessment).
