Guide to using SUTD Timetable

Guide to using SUTD timetable

Accurate as of this commit

Purpose. After your courses have been confirmed, the school provides a timetable. It looks like this with a very disproportionate size.

A very disproprotionate timetable (I am a drop-down. Click me to expand the image)

The timetable provided is inaccurately embedded in the table. Porting the timetable to Google Calendars is troublesome, and you need to see how packed is your hectic schedule in SUTD.

There are two parts to using this app

• Uploading your timetable from SUTD MyPortal to the app
• Downloading your timetable from the app to Google Calendars

Uploading your timetable

Please search if your module has already been uploaded on the main page https://opensutd.org/sutd-timetable/#/main. You do not need to upload your timetable if your module has already been uploaded.

Check if your calendar has already been uploaded

If your timetable has indeed not been uploaded, please go to the upload page. Log in to SAMS (which is the school admin management system).

When you are logged in, you will be presented with a blank screen.

Then, go to the page with your classes (which is the URL of the "Right Click and Save" button). Right-click, Save As, as a complete webpage.

Save as a complete webpage

Then back at https://opensutd.org/sutd-timetable/#/upload go to the next tab and upload the file. This is how a successful file upload looks like:

Successful file upload

Your file will be present in the system once uploaded.
