School Networks: One Project per School or All Schools in a Single Project?
The decision between licensing one project per school or a single project for the entire network depends on the level of integration between the units.
🚀 When to Use a Separate Project for Each School?
If each school operates independently and there are no shared teachers between units, the best approach is to license a separate project for each school.
🟧 Easier Management
⚡ Smaller projects are simpler to administer and customize for each unit.
🟧 Total Independence
⚡ Each school can operate without interference, optimizing its own schedule separately.
🔗 When to Combine All Schools into a Single Project?
If teachers are shared between different units, we strongly recommend managing all schools within a single project.
POWERCUBUS offers advanced features to handle this scenario:
🟧 All Units in One Centralized Project
⚡ Schools are registered in the system, allowing for centralized control.
🟧 Automatic Travel Time Calculation
⚡ The system calculates the time required for teachers to travel between units.
🟧 Custom Travel Speed Settings
⚡ Define the teacher’s travel speed based on their mode of transportation (car, motorcycle, bus, etc.).
📌 This ensures that classes are scheduled considering the time needed for teachers to move between locations.
🔀 What If I Choose Separate Projects but Have Shared Teachers?
If you opt for separate projects for each school, additional precautions are needed to manage teachers working at multiple locations.
Two possible strategies:
🟧 1️⃣ Set Separate Availability for Each Unit
⚡ The teacher provides different availability for each school.
⚡ Example: Teaches at School A on Mondays and Wednesdays, and at School B on Tuesdays and Fridays.
🟧 2️⃣ Schedule One School First, Then Block Times in the Other
⚡ The first school generates the schedule considering all teacher availabilities.
⚡ Then, this information is passed to the second school, which blocks the occupied time slots.
📌 The second strategy requires more manual adjustments between schools.
💡 The POWERCUBUS Advantage
