How It Works — DERSIS

1

Define Your Inputs

Start by entering the building blocks of your timetable: courses, rooms, lecturers, available time slots, and any institutional constraints that must be respected. DERSIS gives you a clear, structured way to capture everything that matters — so nothing gets lost in a spreadsheet or forgotten in an email thread.

2

Organize Your Structure

Set up your departments, programs, semesters, and scheduling rules. This is where you tell DERSIS how your institution actually works — which programs share resources, how semesters overlap, and what rules govern when and where classes can be held. The system adapts to your structure, not the other way around.

3

Place & Adjust

Use intelligent placement tools to assign classes to time slots and rooms. Drag and drop entries where they belong, and let DERSIS handle conflict detection in real time. If a placement would cause a room clash, a lecturer overlap, or a program conflict, you will know immediately — before it becomes a problem anyone else has to deal with.

4

Export & Finalize

When your timetable is ready, generate polished, professional outputs that are ready for distribution. Export clean schedules for departments, individual lecturers, or entire programs. No reformatting, no manual cleanup — just finished timetables that look as good as the work that went into them.

Under the Hood

Built to Handle the Hard Parts

The steps above tell you the workflow. Here is what makes each step work well.

Intelligent Placement

DERSIS does not just let you place classes on a grid — it actively helps you make better decisions. The scheduling engine understands your constraints and highlights available slots that satisfy all of them at once. When you assign a class, it cross-references room capacity, lecturer availability, program requirements, and existing bookings in real time.

The result is fewer manual checks, fewer mistakes, and a timetable that comes together faster because the system is working with you at every step.

Effortless Revisions

Schedules change. A lecturer becomes unavailable. A room is taken out of service. A new section gets added two weeks before the semester starts. With manual methods, each change means tracing through the entire timetable to find and fix every downstream effect.

DERSIS handles revisions differently. When you move or modify an entry, the system automatically identifies affected slots and flags any new conflicts that arise. Changes cascade through the schedule intelligently, so you can make adjustments with confidence instead of starting over from scratch.
