Welcome to the AntPlanner Help Page!

What is AntPlanner?

A visual way for you to experiment with course schedules. AntPlanner takes inspiration from Michael Yang's Zot Scheduler and is created and maintained by a UCI alum.

How do I use it?

Quick Start

  1. Search for a course by selecting the course criteria then clicking 'Display Results'
  2. To add a course, hover over the course name and click
  3. To remove a course, click on the course event in the calendar view
  4. To clear the calendar, click the 'Clear Calendar' link above the calendar

Saving / Loading (BETA)

You can now save your schedule so you can edit or view later on. Steps:

  1. When you have finished selecting courses, click the 'Save/Load' link above the calendar
  2. Enter a unique username for retrieving your schedule. Make sure the username is something that nobody would guess so that someone can't just guess your username and edit your schedule (Password support will be added in the future). For privacy reasons, please refrain from using your UCI Net ID or any personally-identifiable names.

Note: Due to resource constraints, saved schedules are held up to 30 days and then deleted. You may continue to create and save a new course at that time.

Something is wrong with 'X'

Create an 'Issue' on the AntPlanner project issues page. You may or may not need a GitHub account for this. I'll try to address the problem as soon as I can.

Can you add 'X' feature?

Create an 'Issue'. See above section, "Something is Wrong with 'X'". Tag the issue as "feature request".

How can I contribute?

AntPlanner is currently a one-man project. There are a bunch of things to do and features to add but I'm extremely busy these days. Since we're on the GitHub project page already ;), I'd like to encourage users to report issues or to even check out the codebase. Feel free to submit patches or even implement a new feature! The code is open for everyone to see on the Source page. There is a Readme on the page that describes how to get AntPlanner running on your own computer!˝

Disclaimer

The author of AntPlanner is not responsible for anything bad that happens as a result of using the AntPlanner application. Course listings are automatically scraped from the WebSoc website and it may be possible for course names/times to be wrong due to a sudden change in WebSoc, a bug in the code, or any other mishap. Though this is unlikely, always check your schedule when you've finished checking your courses!
