How to specify that class can have max one 7th lesson or max one 0lesson?
... This can be done in Class's details:
Complex solution:
The simple solution cannot be used if you want to specify two conditions...
Education block - allow some classes to come later or to leave school earlier.
... So the automatic lessons distribution decides that this class has to have 6-8 lessons each day...
(manually set educational block,)
Can I set the min/maximum number of lessons per day for one class?
...to set min/max lessons per day for each class...
Education block - Checking of gaps in class timetables
...
Education block is term used to describe time range when some class has to have education...
Avoid single lesson after lunch break.
... We do not want to have single period after lunch break...
Both groups have to finish the education at the same time!
...
However if some teacher has to go to lunch with children then this behaviour is probably not acceptable for you, because you will need two teachers for escorting children to lunch each day(one for each group)...
What does the warning 'The entered timetable is probably not complete' mean?
...to create a timetable for each class that starts with 1st lesson...
How to apply constraints to whole grades
...
Let's take a case, when you wish to specify constraints, that all "Music" lessons from each grade must be placed on the same day in the week ...
Class can have max 2 gaps per day
... See this article for more information:
However if you need to have gaps in classes timetables, but you wish to minimize them to max 2 free periods in a day, you can do so in this way:
1...
Children can come to the school on second period, but only once per week
... First you need to allow that students can arrive on the second period:
2...
Our school works in two shifts, some classes come in the morning, some in the afternoon
... then you simply need to modify the time-off of the classes:
You may need to raise the number of periods per day in menu Main/School...
Optimizing the room usage for students
... The software allows you to input several constraints to improve the usage of the rooms, depending on what is important to you:
1...
At least one lesson per week has to be in certain classroom
...
Generally you want the kids to be always in the Big Gym classroom, but you know this is not possible...
We have 3 lessons per week and they shall be in the same classroom
... Biology lesson can be in BioLab1 or BioLab2 or BioLab3, the generator can choose one, but it has to be the same room for all 3 biology lessons...
Lesson can be only once per week in certain classroom
... Unfortunatelly these are not enough to accomodate all your Physical Education lessons, so in some cases you allow the Gym to be in the cellar in the basement...
Reducing the room usage
...shall help you to achieve the room assigment that is acceptable from the timetabling point of view...
GymRoom can only be used 4 days per week(GymRoom has to be free on 3 afternoons)
If you specify only the afternoon lessons in the timeoff map, then the constraint will only count days where the classroom is used in the afternoon.
So you can specify for example max 2 on afternoon lesson, this would mean that the classroom is free on 3 afternoons per week...
Concentrate groups of lessons into fewer classrooms
... You can add this constaint that will specify that only 2 of these 3 laboratoris can be used on each day, for example to reduce cleaning costs:
Of course the above is more or less equivalent to removing one Lab from the school...
Student has to finish Biology before he can attend Biology practice
...to complete certain course(subject) before he can start with another you can use one of the following cardrelationships:...
Subject has to be in consecutive weeks/terms
...to be in 2 consecutive terms(it cannot be in term 1 and then in term4) you can input this cardrelationship:
So you define that lesson as 2 times in "Any term" and add the above constraint...
Two subjects have to be at the same time in both weeks/terms
...
However if you want them to be on the same time in each week, because teachers might swap kids, you can create this cardrelationship:
Basivally this will say there can be max 2 periods per all weeks...
Is it possible to prevent two specific lessons from being taught simultaneously?
You can prevent two lessons from being taught simultenously by adding some resource (teacher/class/classroom) that is required by both lessons. If for example Math and Physics are taught by the same teacher, or they must be in the same classroom then this will happen automatically...
Groups have to start at the same time
... If you need two subjects from different classes, please see:
Now: how to make sure two groups start at the same time:
Please check this picture...
The children cannot finish after 8th period, there is no bus after period 8 on our school...
... The have to finish either after 7th or 9th...
I have double and single lessons but doubles cannot be on Monday
... You do not want that double to be on Monday or on Wednesday...
Maximum one planning time lesson per day
...
Using the advanced cardrelationship you can specify that teacher can have max 1 planning time lesson per day:
Take care to specify the correct values:...
Biology in 5A has to be only on Wednesday (or Biology cannot be on Wednesday)
...to be just on one day you can use this cardrelationship:
Basically it says you want 0 periods of biology in 5A on the marked days ...
What does "Apply to" mean in the cardrelationships?
...to tak, ze si zoberies jeden priklad kde vyberies /konkr/ ucitelov, triedy a predmety a postupne opises ako jednotlive "apply" pristupuju k kontrole platnosti podmienky...
How can I define that teacher can have max 3 consecutive periods(but he can have 2 doubles)
...to define that each teacher can have max 4 consecutive lessons:...
Double lesson cannot be over certain breaks
...to define breaks between lessons...
Double lesson cannot be on Monday (specific days/periods/part of the day)
...) (or other required possitions, where you do not want your lessons to be) ...
Checking room capacity
...- if you are using seminars(courses) you do not need to...
Max one history lesson on 6th-7th position in each class (solution 1)
...to be on question marked positions...
Max one history lesson on 6th position in each class (solution 2)
...Do not forget to set "apply to selected subjects in selected classes"...
Distribution of subject over the week
... program tries to distribute subject in class's timetable equaly over the week...
I do not want my geography to be on Friday and then on Monday
... So if you do not want to have the lesson on Friday and then on Monday you have to define an advanced cardrelationship...
I want subject in one class to be on the same positions as subject in another class
...to have Math lessons in 5...
What if 2 specific subjects must be taught simultaneously?
... You do not have to specify this...
I need subject Math to be on the same position in classes 5.A and 5.B
...to menu - Specification/Card relationships/Add...
Spreading lessons on different periods each day
... I don't want all the math lessons to be at first period each day...
I want to have Math lessons in a class on the same period every day
...
Advanced usage: In some cases you might need to use the advanced cardrelationship...
I need subject Geography to be last lesson on a day in classes 5.A, 5.B, 5.C...
You can specify this with card relationship:
...
Modifying the default card distribution per week for the subject
... The more the slider is to the right the more evenly the subject is distributed within a week...
I want just one PE/Art/Drama lesson per day
... and make sure you use "Apply to Classes"...
I have Geography two times per week. It shall not be on consecutive days.
...
Then change the Default carddistribution over the week to "Ideal/No Consecutiive days":
Then:
-if you have this subject 2 times per week it not placed on two consecutive days...
How can I define lessons that can be outside teaching block(in the afternoon)?
...to be in the afternoon you can add this cardrelationship:
Now the selected subjects can for example be on 8th period, while normal teaching ends at 5th period...
There can be two maths on one day, but not consecutivelly
... If these cannot be one behind another you need to add this advanced cardrelationship:
Notes:
- make sure you select the appropriate subjects, if you for example already have double lesson from that subject, they will not be placed...
There can be two math lessons on one day, but they need to be placed consecutivelly
... In this case you can tell the software to place these consecutivelly:
Add a new cardrelationships and select entries marked by red color:
The green color is optional, if for example you have 6 math lessons, the software will by default spread them on 5 days(one day will have two lessons)...
Biology cannot be on the day after Chemistry
...-you can use the map bellow to specify that for example class cannot have biology in the morning when it had chemistry in the afternoon on the previous day...
Double lessons must be before single lessons
... How to input this?...
Biology has to be in the afternoon in certain classes and in the morning in other classes
...
If you do not want to affect all lessons, you can leave the timeoff empty and define advanced cardrelationships like:
The cardrelationship says that there can be max 0 - meaning no biology lesson on the marked periods in the selected classes(5a/5b)...
5A has to have Biology right before or after biology in 5B (the two classes have to have biology lesson on consecutive periods)
...to input two cardrelationships for this:
1...
We have teacher who teaches only 2 days per week and it doesn't matter which
... Program will then choose the most suitable days within the given number:
Note: If you specified days precisely, be careful not to specify other teachers similarly...
Windows (gaps) in teachers timetables
... Because of these "gap=free periods", they have to stay in the school with no lesson and they can't leave because they have other lessons later...
Teacher is teaching 2 lessons per week in class 5A but both are in the afternoon.
...to balance the lessons so that if teacher is teaching only two or three lessons in one class they shall not be placed every time late in the day...
We need one free Math teacher for every period in week
... when there are 5 Math teachers in your school and you wish to ensure that there always be at least one of these teachers free on every period (e...
How could be distributed the first/last lessons for all teachers in equality?
...
Example for first lesson:
You have to set for all teachers constraint "Max number of first period lessons" as advanced card relationship, see picture:
Same way you can input "Max number of last period lessons"...
Our class teachers always have to teach the 1st lesson
... See these articles:
However if the teacher teaches more subjects or they have double and single lessons , then it is better not to lock these cards, but rather specify it in the Class - Constraints ...
Our teachers cannot teach more than 6 lessons consecutively
...If this value is set to 6 then your teachers cannot teach from the 1st to 7th period in a row, but they can teach 1st and 2nd, then pause and then from 4th to 8th...

How to ensure lunch break for teachers
...to make sure that every teacher has at least one period free during lunch time for lunch, you can input it this way:
Example: Lunch between periods 3-5...
Two teachers cannot teach at the same time
...to specify this kind of constraint, since most cases are solved by the fact that the teachers have to use the same room or they teach the same group of students...
Teacher cannot teach 4th in Grade 5 and 5th lessons in Grade 6
...
You need to use cardrelationship:...
Teacher must have some lessons in the morning
... that each teacher has to have at least one lesson on periods 1,2,3:
Notes:
- you can of course change the time map to better reflect your definition of morning...
We need two free teachers on each period to make sure we have enough teachers for substitutions
...
So if you have 30 teachers at your school and you want to make sure there are always 2 free, you put max 28 teachers on one period...
Teacher cannot teach both in the morning and in the afternoon
...Apply it to teachers - so that it is checked for each teacher indivdually and mark the the two timeoffs the corresponding periods...
Our teachers have substitution duty lessons, we need min 2 at each period
... which we strongly recommend to you - see this topic:
1...
Teacher cannot teach in two different classes in one day
... teacher cannot teach in 5A and 5B in the same day:
If you have more classes you will need to add more cardrelationships, depending on what you really need...
Teacher can teach max 2 periods per day in one class
...
It is important to correctly select the apply to comobobox...
Two teachers are teaching together, but only 3 times per week out of 5 lessons (lessons with assistant)
