When using Primary Time, name and save the Primary Time file to a network location:

To name and save the Primary Time file to a network location:

Double click on your desktop to open Primary Time.
The Year Group Allocation tab is displayed.
Select File > Save from the main menu.

The Save As dialog window is displayed.
Navigate to a network location where Primary Time files can be kept.

Important: Ensure that the Primary Time file is regularly backed up, to avoid loss of data.
Type a name in the File name field, based on the naming scheme your organisation implements.
Click .
The timetable data is saved.

Tip: Consider making backup versions of the Primary Time file periodically, to protect against a corrupted file.
Perform timetabling functions and save data on the relevant window.
Select File > Exit from the main menu to exit from Primary Time when finished.

Tip: If you do not save data on a relevant window, you may be prompted to save or discard the most recent changes.

Tip: When you restart Primary Time it displays the last opened file. Avoid using File > Close, as it may cause confusion when you next start Primary Time; only rudimentary data is displayed which may cause concerns that timetabling data has been lost.
