Workflow

A transparent process from intake to publish

Every stage is documented so stakeholders know who changed what, when, and why.

Step 1

Upload & validate

Drag in enrollment, room, and instructor files. We flag issues instantly so you start with clean data.

Step 2

Optimize with DSATUR

Adjust parameters, run the generator, and review conflicts in under two minutes, no macros or scripts required.

Step 3

Publish & monitor

Share schedules, export CSVs, and keep an audit trail so late changes and approvals stay organized.

So what?

Every feature ties back to shared data, faster approvals, and export-ready schedules.

The login system means Registrar teammates can share one secure workspace, pick up where someone left off, and keep data synced without re-uploading files. Combined with per-user storage, each dataset and generated schedule stays accessible when leadership needs an audit trail.

Once a run finishes, teams can export CSVs or rely on our visual dashboards to answer questions in minutes. Conflicts, room pressure, and departmental allocation are visible at a glance, so stakeholders see why a decision was made.

Ultimately, ExamEngine helps registrar operations move faster with less stress—because the context, data, and outputs live in one place built for their workflow.
