Timetabling help videos

MIST Services have created a series of video clips that step you through different stages of timetabling. Some videos are for Facility and Facility Scheduler while others are software independant. Should any of the clips pose questions please make a note accordingly and either email them in advance or bring them to the workshop to allow them to be answered.
