Cyclic timetable

A cyclic timetable defines recurring lessons over an arbitrary number of days (Day 1, Day 2, … Day 6, etc.), not necessarily aligned with the 5- or 7-day week.

It is typically used in North American systems (6- or 8-day cycles), in some international schools, and more rarely in Europe.

Difference from the weekly mode

When to use it

If your school runs on a 6-day cycle (for example Day 1 on Monday, Day 2 on Tuesday, Day 3 on Wednesday, Day 4 on Thursday, Day 5 on Friday, Day 6 the following Monday, Day 1 the following Tuesday…), the weekly mode is not suitable — the cyclic mode is designed for this case.

If you are in Europe with a 5-day cycle strictly aligned with the week, stay in weekly mode — it is simpler to configure and publish.
