Set up your school schedule

This is the one screen that turns a messy timetable into a full term of recurring events. Import it however you have it — a photo of a printout, an exported calendar file, or by adding courses by hand — and Latte fills your calendar in one go.

note

Setting up your school schedule is a web feature. Once it's set, your timetable syncs to mobile like any other events.

  1. Open Calendar and click Schedule in the controls above the grid. The Schedule setup screen opens.

  2. Choose how you'd like to import your schedule:

    • Upload Picture — a photo or screenshot of your timetable; Latte reads the course times and details out of it.
    • Upload .ics File — bring in a calendar file exported from another app.
    • Pick Courses — add your courses by hand and paint them onto the week.

      "pom": {
        "page": "SchedulePage",
        "call": "waitForChoiceView"
      }
    }
  ]
}

  3. On the Link Courses step, Latte matches what it found against courses other students already created. For each one, enroll in the existing course or let Latte create a new one.

        "call": "openLinkCoursesStep"
      }
    }
  ]
}

  4. Review the events, then confirm. Latte tells you "Your schedule is set!" and your courses and recurring class events land on your calendar.

On the Latte desktop app

Schedule setup runs the same way in the desktop app.

Good to know

This isn't a one-shot deal — you can edit any event afterwards, run setup again to rebuild it, or restore an earlier version if a change didn't work out.
