New generation mode - Draft

A new generation mode called 'draft' has been added. This can help you in early stages of timetable generation. It allows you to turn off or on whole groups of constraints and try to generate the draft timetable.

Context verification and constraints

You can now select one or more objects, for example a few classes and display only the problems in the timetable related to the selected classes. Same for teachers, subjects etc. Similar function was added to display the constraints the software is checking for each object.
Verify just one class/teachers/subject

Distribution per week/per two weeks

We have extended the card distribution per week options. For each subject you can now specify the default behavior.
Of course you can still input the exact numbers on how many days/how many times per day, by using the card-relationships, however the new default values are much easier to input and shall cover the most situations.
