Teacher portal

The teacher portal is the interface dedicated to teachers. It covers a teacher's three daily needs: viewing their timetable, entering their availability, declaring their absences. By default, it also gives access to the timetables of colleagues, classes and classrooms.

Teacher timetable

For the current week, the teacher sees the lessons they teach: subject, class, group, classroom, times. Three views available:

• Week — standard grid view.
• Day — chronological agenda view.
• List — chronological sequence without a grid, convenient on mobile.

Timetable changes (a lesson moved or cancelled, an exceptional lesson added) are reflected: the teacher sees the up-to-date state each time the view is opened or reloaded.

Entering availability

If the school has enabled availability entry, the teacher opens their personal record via the Information entry in the user menu; the Availability tab presents a grid where they declare their preferences for the next timetable construction:

• Unavailable slots — a blocking constraint: the algorithm never places a lesson there, and a manual planner would create a conflict by doing so,
• Undesired slots — the algorithm avoids placing a lesson there, without an absolute ban, and a manual planner sees a warning there,
• Preferred slots — the algorithm favors these slots.

Unmarked ranges remain neutral: available, with no preference.

See Teacher availability for the exact meaning of the colors and best practices for entering them.

The teacher can also add free-text comments (no teaching on Fridays because of another professional commitment) that help the administration understand the context.

Declaring an absence

The Declare an absence button lets the teacher report their own unavailability:

• dates concerned;
• full day or specific time slots;
• reason;
• short comment.

The request appears in the Absence management module with a pending status until an administrator approves it. Substitutions are then handled in that same module; the portal form does not move lessons and does not attach a supporting document. See Declaring an absence.

Viewing colleagues' and classes' timetables

By default, the teacher can view the timetables of other teachers (useful for scheduling meetings), of classes (to identify a free slot for a field trip) and of classrooms. A strict setting (see Visibility restrictions) hides the timetables of other teachers; it only applies to these timetables between colleagues — access to class and classroom timetables remains open.

Syncing with a personal calendar

As on the student side, the share icon Sharing in the timetable view opens the Sharing window, whose iCal tab provides the personal subscription URL to paste into Google Calendar, Apple Calendar or Outlook. See iCal — subscription and dynamic link.

Convenient for teachers who want to see their lessons in the same calendar as their meetings and personal life.
