2.6.3 Changing time preference

This scenario shows a female teacher changing her time preference.  It's assumed that the teacher has already started the Teacher application but has not logged into the server.

The teacher begins by clicking on any fields in the Time Preference window shown in Figure 1.  The default setting sets all time slots with values of 5.  This is base on a system from 0-10, with 0 meaning absolutely not available and 10 meaning very available.

Assuming that the teachers enter in the correct username and password, the changes made to the teacher's time preference will be save to the database.

 

Using Time Range editing

In this next scenario, a male teacher will edit his Time Preference by utilizing the Range editing feature.  It's assumed that the teacher has successfully logged into the server.

The teacher uses the Time Range editing feature by inputting the teacher's desired values inside the boxes located at the bottom of the Time Preference window.    The teacher decides to input a value of 7 from 9pm to 11pm on Mondays, Wednesday, and Friday shown in Figure 5.
