Fully automatic generation algorithm, allowing also semi-automatic or manual allocation
Platform independent implementation, allowing running on GNU/Linux, Windows, macOS and any system that Qt supports
Flexible modular XML format for the input file, allowing editing with an XML editor or by hand (besides FET interface)
Import/export from CSV format
The resulted timetables are exported into HTML, XML and CSV formats
Flexible students structure, organized into sets: years, groups and subgroups. FET allows overlapping years and groups and non-overlapping subgroups. You can even define individual students (as separate sets)
Each constraint has a weight percentage, from 0.0% to 100.0% (but some special constraints are allowed to have only 100% weight percentage)
Limits for the algorithm:
- Maximum number of working days per week: 1,000
- Maximum number of hours per day: 1,440
- Virtually unlimited number of teachers
- Maximum number of subgroups of students: 30,000
- Virtually unlimited number of subjects
- Virtually unlimited number of activity tags
- Maximum number of activities: 500,000
- Maximum number of rooms: 30,000
- Maximum number of buildings: 30,000
- Possibility of adding multiple teachers and students sets for each activity. (it is possible also to have no teachers or no students sets for an activity)
- Virtually unlimited number of time constraints
- Virtually unlimited number of space constraints
A large and flexible palette of time constraints:
- Break periods
- For teacher(s):
- Not available periods
- Max/min days per week
- Max gaps per day/week
- Max hours daily/continuously
- Max span per day
- Min hours daily
- Max hours daily/continuously with an activity tag
- Min hours daily with an activity tag
- Min gaps between an ordered pair of activity tags
- Respect working in an hourly interval a max number of days per week
- Min resting hours
- For students (sets):
- Not available periods
- Max days per week
- Begins early (specify max allowed beginnings at second hour)
- Max gaps per day/week
- Max hours daily/continuously
- Max span per day
- Min hours daily
- Max hours daily/continuously with an activity tag
- Min hours daily with an activity tag
- Min gaps between an ordered pair of activity tags
- Respect working in an hourly interval a max number of days per week
- Min resting hours
- For an activity or a set of activities/subactivities:
- A single preferred starting time
- A set of preferred starting times
- A set of preferred time slots
- Min/max days between them
- End(s) students day
- Same starting time/day/hour
- Occupy max/min time slots from selection (two complex and flexible constraints, useful in many situations)
- Consecutive, ordered (and ordered if same day), grouped (for 2 or 3 (sub)activities)
- Not overlapping (also for activity tags)
- Max/min simultaneous in selected time slots
- Min gaps between a set of (sub)activities
A large and flexible palette of space constraints:
- Room not available periods
- For teacher(s):
- Home room(s)
- Max room/building changes per day/week
- Min gaps between room/building changes
- For students (sets):
- Home room(s)
- Max room/building changes per day/week
- Min gaps between room/building changes
- Preferred room(s):
- For a subject
- For an activity tag
- For a subject and an activity tag
- Individually for a (sub)activity
- For a set of activities:
- Have the same room if they are consecutive
- Occupy a maximum number of different rooms
