BeED timetable: school scheduling dashboard
A scheduling dashboard where school staff plan a full academic year, filter it down to one class, and open a single day without losing the wider view.

The problem
Schools were planning academic events on tools built for other jobs. Staff needed to see a whole year to avoid clashes, then see one day in enough detail to know which teacher is in which room. Those are different views of the same data, and moving between them meant starting the search again. BeED asked for a dashboard that holds both, for administrators who plan the year and teachers who only care about their own classes.
What we decided
The calls that shaped the build, and what each one let people do.
- 1
Three calendar scales, one filter state
Week, month and year views sit behind one toggle and share the schedule filter. Choosing a day in the year grid opens that day’s plan beside it, with the same academic year, level and class still applied.
An administrator spots a busy week in the year grid and reads the shift-by-shift plan for 22 September without re-entering the filters.

Filters shaped like a school
The schedule filter runs academic year, then level, then class, with separate shift and item filters on the day plan.
A teacher narrows the institution-wide calendar to the classes they teach, so the day plan shows their timetable instead of everyone’s.

Detail on hover, not on a new page
Each timetable row carries a subject chip and a class label, and opens a card with the educator, the facility and the entry description in place.
Staff confirm who is teaching and in which room while staying on the day they are planning.
What we delivered
Capabilities above are read from the delivered interface.
- Week, month and year calendar views behind a single toggle
- Colour-coded day cells that mark which days carry entries
- Schedule filter by academic year, level and class
- Day plan with shift and item filters and timed entries
- Entry detail showing educator, facility and description
- Radial schedule navigator for the dashboard’s feature areas
- PDF export of the calendar in view
We do not publish performance figures for this project. The records we hold describe what was built, not a measured before-and-after, and we would rather show the product than quote a number we cannot stand behind.
