Timetabling

How automatic timetabling actually works at an activity centre

Auto-timetabling is not magic. Here is what it can and cannot do, and why keeping a human in the loop matters.

Every centre manager has spent a Sunday evening moving activities around a spreadsheet. Here is how automatic timetabling takes that off your plate, without taking away control.

Start with the constraints, not the calendar

A good timetable is really a set of constraints: each group should try a range of activities, each venue holds so many people, each instructor is only ticketed for certain activities, and nobody can be in two places at once. ActivityHub treats these as hard rules and builds around them.

Build fast, then adjust by hand

The auto-timetabler produces a conflict-free first draft in seconds. That draft is a starting point, not a decree. Drag a session to a different slot and the day board immediately re-checks for clashes, kit shortages and lapsed tickets.

Why a human stays in the loop

Software does not know that one instructor is brilliant with nervous beginners, or that the wind is wrong for the top lake this morning. Automatic timetabling handles the mechanical work so your judgement goes where it matters.
