Orario Documentation
Last updated March 4, 2026
Orario is a timetable planning platform for institutions and planners that need reliable setup, policy-aware generation, and repeatable operations across academic terms.
Overview
This documentation hub covers setup completion, planning operations, policy controls, and export workflows for institution and personal planner use cases.
Get started with Orario
Start by completing the organization setup baseline, then move into planner execution and policy tuning. The fastest path is Setup Guide -> Scheduling Guide -> Import/Export Guide.
- Define timetable model, class types, and required rules.
- Configure programme and study plan (or K-12 subject model) for your profile.
- Apply hard/soft constraints, then generate variants and review warnings.
Quick references
Complete setup checklist
Owner/admin setup steps required before planner access is unlocked.
University planning model
Programme, study-plan, and scheduling baseline for tertiary workflows.
K-12 planning model
Class-based timetable setup, subject templates, and warning defaults.
Constraint and variant strategy
Hard constraints, soft constraints, and multi-variant generation guidance.
Import and export behavior
Validation profiles, setup-aware checks, and export defaults.
Common operational FAQ
Answers for setup ownership, planner access, and rollout concerns.
Build your timetable operations
Use these core documentation tracks for daily planning operations:
- Setup Guide: Fill required setup fields and unlock planner access.
- Tertiary Guide: Run programme and study-plan driven planning flows.
- K-12 Guide: Configure class-based planning with subject templates.
Use Orario planning intelligence
Orario combines policy checks and optimization guidance so generated timetables remain practical.
- Hard constraints: Block invalid collisions before timetable generation is accepted.
- Soft constraints: Rank variants based on institutional preferences and tradeoffs.
- Warnings: Flag operational risk without preventing candidate generation.
Collaborate with your team
Keep administrators, planners, and supporting staff aligned through shared setup and planner workflows.
- Role-based setup responsibilities for owner/admin versus members.
- Shared visibility into request handling, resources, and warning outcomes.
- Guided links from planner actions directly into the relevant docs sections.
Secure your operations
Use setup and policy controls to keep planning behavior reliable:
- Protect core schedules with collision and resource constraints.
- Control who can update setup baselines and planning policies.
- Use validation profiles to reduce import data quality risks.
Deploy and scale
Standardize setup defaults, then iterate each term with controlled overrides and export templates.
- Start with quick defaults, then expand into advanced policy controls.
- Run multi-variant generation to compare feasible timetable options.
- Use export presets for repeatable reporting and distribution.
