Time units define how the academic year is segmented within the school’s system. This configuration is essential for organizing the school calendar, assessment periods, and the pedagogical tracking of students.

1. Accessing Time Units

To configure time units, follow this path:

    Settings » System » Support Table » Time Units

2. How to Configure Time Units

On the right-hand panel, you’ll find a list of all time units already registered in the system. These units represent the different periods that can be used to structure the academic calendar, such as: Year, Term, Semester, Final Evaluation, and others.

These units serve as the foundation for building the hierarchical structure on the left, which reflects how the school organizes its academic year in practice. This structure is used by the system to calculate attendance, grades, and other academic indicators.

3. How to Build the Structure

First, create the desired time units in the list on the right (if they don’t already exist).

          Example: see image below

Then, drag and drop the time units into the left-hand panel, arranging them according to the school’s academic structure.

Example:

    Academic Year
└── Trimester (1st, 2nd, and 3rd)
└── Final Evaluation

When creating class groups, the school will already have a predefined framework, making it easier to configure each class according to its specific needs. If any class has particular requirements, adjustments can be made since the base structure is already in place.

The system is flexible and can adapt to different school models. Whether your institution uses trimesters, semesters, or custom cycles, this structure can be tailored to fit your needs.
