Cycle Start Dates
To gain the most out of the Daily Organiser and maximise the performance of the app, we strongly recommend that Cycle start dates are used. Cycle start dates are used in conjunction with Cycle Limits and Uncounted Replacements to set the maximum number of replacement classes that a teacher can take. They are used to reset cycle-based information for allocating replacements. When a new cycle start date is reached, the values for the counted replacement cycle limits and any uncounted replacements for under-allotted staff will be reset.
The Cycle Limit is the maximum number of counted replacements a teacher can take for a timetable cycle and resets at the start of each cycle. For example, if your school has a 5-day timetable cycle, then the cycle limit is usually the maximum number of counted replacements that a teacher can take during that 5 days.
Uncounted Replacements are often used to give teachers who are not on a full load, uncounted replacement classes each cycle to balance their loads.
