Schedule– User Guide
On schema.novia.fi you can see bookings made in Peppi. As a student you automatically see the schedule for your own study group. However, schema.novia.fi is mainly used to create an Individual schedule.
It is possible for everyone to look at bookings on schema.novia.fi but if you want to create an Individual schedule you will need to login. When you login to schema.novia.fi for the first time, the programme creates a schedule (Automatic schedule) for you based on the bookings made for your study group in and on the courses you have registered for in Peppi.
Please note that schema.novia.fi only gets information from Peppi. It is not for example possible to register for a course on schema.novia.fi.
Your course enrolment must be confirmed by the teacher, before you can see the bookings in Peppi.
Saturday and Sunday are only visible if there are bookings on these days.
It is possible to create an iCal link and sync the schedule to a calendar (for example a Google, iCloud or Outlook calendar).
Check the Schedule
Click Login at the upper right corner of the page. Login with Novia username and password.
Click Calendar in the upper left corner.
The schedule is visible in the Calendar view.
You can change view between Month, Week or Day and jump back and forth between these by using the arrows.
The Schedule is based on the bookings that are made for your study group and the courses that you have registered for in Peppi.
Create an Individual schedule
Click Login at the upper right corner of the page. Login with your Novia username and password.
In the upper right corner select Calendar Administration from the menu.
Click Add new calendar that is found below the list of Schedules.
In the pop-up window name the schedule (for example “My Individual schedule”) and then click Save.
Your new Individual schedule is now found in the list of Schedules. You can pick which Schedule to use by default.
Add Courses, Groups and Rooms to the Individual schedule
Click Calendar in the upper left corner of the page.
Check that it is your Individual schedule that is shown in the box in the upper middle part of the page (not the Automatic schedule). This is because you are only permitted to edit schedules that you have created, not the Automatic schedule. You can switch between schedules in the drop-down menu.
To add courses (realization), groups or rooms (location) to the schedule, you first need to search for the ones you want to add. Begin by selecting category (Realization search, Group search or Location search). If you select Realization search you can also choose to search by Name or ID, Teacher name or Group ID.
Give a search term (for example Research methods) and click Search.
You will get a list of all realizations that are available. If needed sort by using the drop-down menus (Study begins, Degree programmes, Languages, Locations and Study types).
Click the Realization name or Info to view more information about the course.
No overlapping means that the course fits your schedule, otherwise the list will show how many hours overlap your previous bookings.
If you want to add the course to your schedule, click Add.
Please note that it is not possible to edit the Automatic schedule. If you want to keep the group schedule and only add a few courses, you first need to create an Individual schedule and add the group to the schedule before you add realizations (courses). Click Calendar, then select the Search groups category and search with your Group ID (you have to enter at least three letters or numbers). Add the group to your schedule. It is not possible to delete courses booked for the group, but you can hide them from the schedule, if there are some courses that you plan not to attend to. In the Calendar view click a booking and then in the pop-up window click Hide event.
Delete courses, groups and rooms
In the upper right corner select Calendar Administration from the menu.
Select the schedule that you want to work with from the list to the left. Please note that it is not possible to edit the Automatic schedule.
In the Index list to the right you can see which realizations, groups and rooms that are attached to the schedule. Click the Wastebasket to delete.
Delete a schedule
In the upper right corner select Calendar Administration from the menu.
You can edit and delete schedules in the Calendar list to the left (click Edit or Delete in the drop-down menu).
Please note that it is not possible to edit or delete the Automatic schedule nor a schedule that is chosen as default. If you want to delete a default schedule, you first need to choose another schedule as default (for example the Automatic schedule).
Share the schedule to a calendar
In the upper right corner select Calendar Administration from the menu.
Select which schedule to share. From the drop-down menu click Create share link.
From the same drop-down menu click Copy iCal link to clipboard.
Paste the iCal link in your Calendar programme (read the user guide for the Calender programme on how to do this). You are now sharing the Schedule to the calendar.
If you want to stop sharing, click Remove Calendar Share.
