Untis data and their relation to AlekSIS
========================================

Untis is a proprietary timetable management software which is popular
in the German-speaking area, but used internationally. AlekSIS provides
functionality to automatically import data from Untis into data models
of the core and `Chronos`, the timetable and substitution app of AlekSIS.

Currently, we only support importing data from the MySQL database of
`Untis MultiUser`. This is done through configurable background tasks
which are executed in a specific interval or at specific points in time.
