# Build the support timetable

> Create and maintain the planned support allocation for each school week.

Open **Timetabling → Timetable Builder** after terms, periods, learners and Support Staff are ready.

## Choose a planning view

Use the view chooser to plan by learner, staff member or day. Move between weeks with the arrow controls, date picker or keyboard shortcuts shown below the toolbar. Choose **This Week** for a dated exception or **Whole Term** for a recurring allocation.

## Assign support

Search for a learner or staff member, then select or drag a staff member into the required period. SupportWise shows existing learner support, class support and protected staff time together. A warning appears when an assignment overlaps another booking; review the existing work before choosing whether to continue.

Use **Auto-fill** only after checking staff availability. It fills uncovered learner-period cells for the current week but does not replace a coordinator's review.

<Warning>
  Whole Term mode applies an edit across every week in the current term. Confirm the selected scope before saving.
</Warning>
