Dashboard

NOTE

You can access the Dashboard from the sidebar on the main site. The link is here.

Overview

The Dashboard is the central feature of CoursePlan.search, where you can plan your course schedule and explore conflict-free solutions. It allows you to select courses, filter sections, and visualize possible timetables based on your preferences.

The mechanism behind the Dashboard is simple yet powerful:

From the selected courses in your Course Cart, the system picks one enabled section for each course and searches for all valid schedules without time conflicts.
You can refine your options using filters and time slot restrictions to customize your schedule further.

Entrance

The Dashboard provides access to different semesters. When you visit /dashboard, you will see a list of semester entrances. Each semester is independent, and you can manage schedules separately for each one. Once inside a semester, you can switch between semesters using the arrow buttons at the top of the page.

Hovering over a class reveals detailed information, including:

Section number
Course name
Location
Instructor
Duration

Filter

Course/Section Filter

After adding courses to the cart, they are disabled by default. You can enable or disable courses by clicking on their respective cards. For enabled courses, you can further enable or disable specific sections by clicking on them.

When searching for solutions, the system will select exactly one enabled section from each enabled course to generate valid schedules.
