Omniscol plans and options

Omniscol is sold under a simple model: several plans, core Premium features, some contract-based activations and a standalone Staffing offer. The exact price and scope depend on the contract with your school.

The plans

Plan Who is it for? Included
Lite Very small schools, independents, solo trainers, trials Timetable generation and printing. No publication, no school years, no multi-site, no student management, limited resources. Visible modules: Timetable management + minimal Administration.
Staffing Schools that only need staff duty planning Only the Staffing module, for supervision duties, study hall and group supervision
Standard Typical school (primary, middle, high school), a single planning team, weekly timetable Lite + publication, school years, multi-site, student management, daily planning, absences, dashboard, display panels, iCal, limited read-only API
Standard Plus Schools that need Standard plus Staffing Standard + Staffing
Premium Higher education, continuing education, more complex multi-site or multi-program organizations Weekly, cyclic or calendar timetables, dated availability, several active timetables, more configuration options (lesson status, off-grid placement, one-off events, lesson delivery mode, videoconference links...), full token-based API, MCP, OIDC / SSO, external synchronization, advanced options depending on the contract (collaboration, snapshots, custom roles).

Not all features are activated the same way:

  • some features are included in Premium by default (calendar mode, calendar availability, several active timetables);
  • others are activated according to your contract, most often on Premium accounts;
  • a few cases can still be activated exceptionally on a Standard account when there is a specific need;
  • Staffing also follows its own logic, since it can be sold on its own.

Standalone Staffing offer

The Staffing module is also sold without the rest of Omniscol for schools that only need supervision / duty management. The account then exposes only the Staffing module, absences for assignable staff and the necessary user screens. No timetables, no teaching dashboard, no display panels. See Overview of the Staffing module.

Contract-based activations

Feature Description Activation
Custom roles Custom roles with a fine-grained permission matrix. According to the account's contract
Snapshots Backup points, digest, restoration and rotation according to a contractual quota enabled by Omniscol. According to the account's contract
Collaboration Collaboration between administrators, real-time presence depending on configuration. According to the account's contract
Logs Log consultation screen with retention depth enabled by Omniscol according to the contract. According to the account's contract
Linked accounts Different Omniscol accounts linked to share room, teacher or class occupancy between schools that each have a separate Omniscol subdomain. On request, after scoping
Several active timetables on a Standard account Exceptional case for some genuinely separate school accounts (for example a self-contained middle-and-high school, or a primary-middle-high school). Specific activation, with adapted scoping and billing
Direct assignment of students to classes and groups in timetables Usually, schools plan without the precise list of students and their assignments. They therefore work with classes and groups through a theoretical number of expected students, specifying the organizational logic; once the timetable is finished, students are (possibly) assigned to classes and groups afterwards. However, another way of working exists, common in training organizations, where the precise list of students on each class and each group is needed upfront, when designing the timetable; the non-conflict logic between groups (mutual exclusion) is then automatically deduced by Omniscol. This changes the data model and the way the product works, and can therefore only be enabled as an option by the Omniscol team. On request, after evaluating the specific planning approach
Staffing Supervision / duty management module (exams, study hall). Also sold as a standalone offer. As a standalone offer, in Standard Plus or according to the contract
Additional modules Possible additional modules. Depending on the module and the contract

Notable features explained

Calendar mode

Positions lessons date by date rather than on a typical week. It is a feature included in Premium by default, essential for higher education, continuing education and training centers. See Calendar mode.

Groups of groups

Combine several groups — from the same class or from different classes — into an entity that can be scheduled as a single block. Available on all accounts, whatever the plan, and on all timetable types (weekly, cyclic, calendar); no particular activation is required. See Groups of groups.

Several active timetables in parallel

Publish several timetables simultaneously over the same weeks, merged dynamically. This is included in Premium by default. Omniscol can also enable it exceptionally on some Standard or mixed school accounts when the need and billing justify it. See Multiple active timetables in parallel.

Linked accounts

Link several Omniscol accounts to share the occupancy of common resources: teachers, rooms, buildings or classes depending on the case. Activation is done on request by Omniscol, because the linked accounts and shared resources must be scoped. See Linked accounts and shared resources.

Custom roles

Finely restrict an administrator account's rights — module by module, with a choice of operations (view / edit / delete) and the ability to switch off an entire module in one click. See Custom roles.

Snapshots

Save the state of the account at a given point in time and restore it later. Invaluable before a risky operation (massive overhaul, large import, start of the year). See Backup points.

Real-time collaboration

Several administrators can work on the same account with presence indicators when the option is enabled. See Real-time collaboration.

MCP

MCP lets you connect a compatible AI agent such as Claude (recommended), with its account identification via OAuth2. See MCP.

Logs

When the option is enabled by Omniscol, the Logs screen lets you view and export the entries logged by Omniscol. It should not be presented as a full audit with before/after diffs or request replay. See Activity log (logs).

ERP synchronization

Synchronization with external systems is a contract-based activation, generally on Premium accounts, when a connector is configured. Aurion and Auriga connectors exist; adding a new ERP is handled as a project, with a documented API, a sandbox and mapping scoping. See Synchronization with external systems.

Standalone Staffing

The Staffing module is available separately, including as a standalone offer (without the rest of Omniscol). See Overview of the Staffing module.

How to know which plan and options are active

Visible in Settings — a section at the bottom of the panel, which displays the active plan and the subscribed options. The plan + the options determine which modules are available in the left-hand menu.
