Once the required lessons have been imported they will be placed in the 'Unused Lessons' folder, where they can be dragged on the planning.

Tips for Finding and Ordering Lessons (These Would Need to be Completed Prior to Importing)

When lessons are imported they will go into the 'Unused Lessons' browser. There is no indication as to the order the lessons are taught in or which pathway the lessons are on.

Entering a number and keyword after the lesson topics in the Programme, or entering a keyword after the Programme title is the best method for finding lessons. This would need to be done prior to importing the lessons.

Finding all the Lessons for a Specific Programme (By Editing the Programme Title)

If unable to find the required lessons due to multiple programmes with the same name, add a search word after the Programme Title. This can then be used to find the lessons when importing them.

The steps are as follows:

1. Go into the Programme with the required lessons, to do this:
   • If the class was in a previous timetable period, change the date back.
   • If the teacher is not the current teacher, change the staff members name.
2. Click on the 'Load Programme' for the class.
3. Enter a keyword after the programme title (i.e. ## or your initials).
4. Follow the import process outlined in the top of this article using the keyword to search for them.
   
   

Establishing the Correct Order for Imported Lessons (By Editing Lesson Topics)

The steps are as follows:

1. Go into the Programme with the required lessons, to do this:
   • If the class was in a previous timetable period, change the date back.
   • If the teacher is not the current teacher, change the staff members name.
2. Click on the 'Load Programme' for the class > select 'Planner'.

   • If the class was in a previous timetable period, change the date back.
   • If the teacher is not the current teacher, change the staff members name.

4. Follow the import process outlined in the top of this article.

Using the Filters in the Lesson Browser to find Lessons

• Staff Selector - Select the staff member who is the programme owner.
• Free-Text Search - Enter key words from the programme title or lesson topic.
