Academic Scheduler Help: Printing Professor Schedule Cards
Professor schedule cards are small weekly schedules that can be printed and placed outside their office doors.
To open the schedule card printing interface select Reports > Print Professor Schedule Cards... from the main menu.
When you do the following dialog box will appear.
The left column contains the options for printing the cards and we will discuss each section in detail below. The right
column contains a list of the faculty you will be printing cards for. At the top of the right column there is a small toolbar
for selecting faculty members for printing. The first button will select all of the faculty members the second will unselect
all of the faculty and the third will select all faculty members who are currently in the schedule. You can, of course
select one or more faculty members by using the standard Shift, Control and mouse click combinations as you would in
any other program. Once your options are set press the print button and you will be asked to select a printer, do so and
click OK to send the job to the printer.
The printing option in the left column are as follows.
- Title Bar Information - At the top of the schedule card there is a title bar where you can place
professor information in the left, center and right positions. To select the content for the position simply
click on the drop down and select the content.
- Include - Sets the information to include on the schedule card. Include section numbers will print
the section number of the course along with the course number. Include hour markers will place a line at
each hour across the schedule to make it easier to read. Include standard timeslots will create boxes around the
standard timeslots in the timeslot database. The include tentative courses will display tentative courses as well
using a blue italic font.
- Colors - This set of options allows the user to set the background and font colors for the different
types of schedule items. The current colors are displayed in the small boxes in the subsections. To change a
color simply double-click the color box. At this point a color selection dialog box will appear allowing the selection
of a color. The time divisions color is the color that would be used for hour markers and timeslots if you include them.
- Page Offset - This is the amount of space in inches from the upper left corner of the page where the upper
left corner of the card will be printed. Some printers can print to the edge of the page and other can not. If you
are using a printer that can and are printing these onto special sized cards you may want to set these offsets to 0.
- Schedule Card Size - The card size is the length and width of the printed card.
