Timetable display TBA classes and classes without eventRef in the timetable
Details:
Our PeopleSoft developers created a view that combines data from two key tables—CLASSTBL and CAMPUSMTG—to support the Timetable integration. The CLASSTBL includes all courses at TCU, with relevant details such as time, location, and instructor. The CAMPUSMTG table, however, only includes courses that have a meeting pattern and thus a generated Event ID.
Because of this, courses without a defined meeting pattern (e.g., independent study or upper-level research courses that don’t meet at regular times) are not included in the CAMPUS_MTG table and therefore don’t appear in the view being used by the Timetable integration. As a result, these “TBA” courses are not surfaced in the mobile app's Timetable feature.
Our main concern is that students may rely on the Timetable as their primary method of viewing their class schedules, potentially causing confusion or missed obligations when “TBA” courses are absent from the display.
Would it be possible to either display those courses statically somewhere within the Timetable interface or include a disclaimer noting that not all enrolled courses appear in the Timetable due to the absence of scheduled meeting patterns?

This seems to be a configuration issue. In our documentation we recommend to combine the fields from both tables to create a unique ID for every event.
