Edit Instructor

Edit information about an instructor in this Edit Instructor screen.

Details

• • External Id

    • • Id that identifies this instructor throughout UniTime

      • If possible, matches the university's employee Id

      • Cannot be changed by the user (unless an administrator adds a new setting with name "tmtbl.instructor.allowExternalIdEdit" and value "true" to make external id editable)

      • Can be looked up by clicking on the Lookup button (see description in Operations) if you enter the last name or the account name for the instructor

  • Account Name

    • • If you know the university account name of a new instructor, you can look the person up by this account

• First Name

  • • First name of the instructor

    • The Lookup button next to the first name takes you to the People Lookup screen, pre-populated with the instructor's name; this lookup operates over all tables in UniTime (such as instructors, managers, ...), as opposed to the Lookup in the top/bottom row of buttons

• • Middle Name

  • Last Name

    • • The only mandatory field in this screen

  • Email

    • • Instructor's email address

  • Department

    • • Shows the department selected in the Instructors screen

  • Position

    • • Position classification of this instructor

      • Note: This field is user maintained and is not required elsewhere in UniTime; it may be useful, however, for grouping instructors or in exports for departmental report

  • Notes

    • • For your use only

  • Ignore Too Far

    • • By default (when unchecked), the solver prohibits placement of back to back classes taught by the same instructor in rooms that are more than a short distance apart

      • If checked, the solver will strongly discourage but not prohibit long distances between back to back classes of this instructor

        • • Use with caution!

          • When your timetable is created, make sure you check whether the instructor for whom you chose to ignore too far distances has a feasible timetable (that the instructor can in fact teach the classes that are back to back)
