# Auto-Generate Timetable

Let eSkool build a complete, conflict-free schedule in minutes.

* What used to take days now takes minutes
* No manual coordination — eSkool handles availability automatically
* Classes are distributed evenly so no teacher or room is overloaded

### Before You Start

Make sure the following are configured:

* [**Subjects**](/en/school-setup/classes-programs/subject.manage.md)
* [**Teachers**](/en/school-setup/staff/staff.subjects.md) assigned to their subjects
* [**Classrooms**](/en/school-setup/school-year/room.create.md)
* [**Holidays**](/en/school-setup/school-year/datespan.create.md) for the school year
