WHITS End
WHITS End is a web-based system that allows teachers and students to
view student schedules. Westside High School's modular
scheduling system is managed by a custom computer program created
decades ago. It contains no output capabilities except printing
and the export of 6 key data files. WHITS End is a Filemaker
based system that uses time-scheduled AppleScripts to import data from
the scheduler, process the data, and assemble it into FileMaker Pro
database records (over 65,000 records, in fact). The Filemaker
web server then assembles and serves out the schedules to web browsers.
The schedule for the current day of the week is highlighted in blue in
the web interface.
Note: This system was created about seven years ago and is still
in operation as it was created back then. The processing of
the data originally took nearly 8 hours (we had it set to operate over
night) on the processors of that day. The same system
running on today's computers takes about 20 minutes to process the data.
