Functionality of Timetable Zone/Section
Higher education institutes with a broad time schedule can systemize their schedules into morning, afternoon, and evening zones, each offering similar activities such as classes, breaks, and assemblies.
Create (Getting started)
For the creation of a Timetable Zone/Section you will need to go to Academic Settings > Timetable > and select Dropdown lists. Zones contain Sections; thus, it is recommended to start with Zones.
After selecting Zones, press the Add new button and fill in the information needed for the new Zone, on the popup window and save.
The same procedure applies to Sections as well, with the addition of the Zone selection.
Below, you will find an example of Timetable Zones and their Sections.
You can copy the Timetable Zones/Sections to another Period.
Groups (Group category)
Once you create Zones and Sections, you can connect them to Groups.
Note: Group, on these screenshots, is a Cohort.
Go to Groups > Manage Groups. Select Column Options (image 1) to make Zones/Sections visible on your Group grid. (image 2)

The Grid has been updated to include the Zone and Section details for each Group.

To Select the preferred Zone for the Educational Program of a student go the Student Form > his/hers Educational Programs > from the Actions button select Edit.
On the popup window, you can only select the preferred Zone (not Section) for a Student and a specific Educational Program. He/ She might choose another Zone for another active Educational Program.
Here is an example of a selected Zone, as seen in the Educational Program, on a Student Form.

You can use the Timetable Zones/Sections filters to organize your Timetable Periods.

You can also Edit a Timetable Period to set or change a Timetable Zone/Section from the Actions button.
Set a Timetable Section to match the Timetable Period and Save.
Use the Bulk Actions button to Edit the Timetable Section, selecting the appropriate Academic Periods.
Choose the right one and Save.
