Parameter to suppress gaps

[Liviu Lalescu]

Hello, Victor,

Max gaps between single building - I think it is impossible.

File received. But unfortunately I think it is wrong - you did not understand correctly the Mornings-Afternoons approach. It is more complicated in your case - maybe you need to make 3*6 FET days per week and I am not sure Mornings-Afternoons will work. Maybe an Official mode with 3*6 FET days per week will work. I also don't understand why you added the subjects like that, and the activities, not split as subactivities.

Also, a FET day should have only 6 hours.

Hello, Liviu.

I made the modification so that it includes mornings and afternoons as days and removed the part about evenings, which will not be included in this phase of the planning, resulting in 2*6 days.

I created a Python system to fetch spreadsheets on the network and automatically generate activities and constraints. This method of declaring subjects was used to identify which spreadsheet the activity was assigned to, and some activities that could be subactivities are not categorized as such because they come from different spreadsheets.

I sent you a new version of the FET via email, please check if it makes sense.

Thank you very much for the feedback.

Hi, Victor,

It seems OK.

I see that this file solves much faster than your previous file. I will now try to make you the customization of teacher min gaps between ordered pair of activity tags, so that it will take care also from FET day 1 to FET day 2, 3-4, 5-6, 7-8, 9-10, and 11-12.

Hello, Liviu.

Thank you very much for the support. I look forward to hearing back from you.

I will write you hopefully soon, Victor!

Hello, Victor,

I found some possible problems in your file. They allow me to work, but I am not sure they are OK for you. Also they might be the reason why your new file solves so easily/fast: I think you need to update the constraints teacher/students set not available times. Also, please check if you need to update the constraints max days between activities (I think not, they care about real days).

Hello, Liviu.

One of the reasons why this version is faster is that I removed the Max days per week for a teacher.

The constraint for teacher/students set not available times is not complete, but at the moment, I don't think it makes it easier to conduct tests.

Max days between activities constraints are okay.

Hello, Victor,

OK then, I will work on your current file. I am confident it is possible in a short time, stay tuned.

Hello, Victor,

I think I did it correctly. Please get the custom version from here: https://lalescu.ro/liviu/fet/download/custom/victorcapel/

Please let me know.

Hello, Liviu.

That sounds good. I will perform more detailed tests and let you know.

Thank you so much!

Hello, Victor,

I have a personal request, if I may: (only) if my work proves useful, please consider recommending your institution financial help for FET. It is the only way this project gets funded.

You are welcome, and also thank you!

[victorcapel]

Hello, Liviu.

Don't worry, I will recommend financial assistance; moreover, I will promote your project here in Brazil.

FET proves to be a brilliant tool, congratulations on the project!

[Liviu Lalescu]

Hello, Victor,

Thank you for the appreciation and kind intentions!

Hi Liviu,

Thank you very much for the development of FET and all the support.

We sent 2 donations, one of 200 and another of 300 euros, sorry for the delay, but the the bureaucratic process within the company took a bit of time.

I work together with Erick Nimtz, who has already made a donation to you and introduced me to the software.

Thanks again!  =]

[Liviu Lalescu]

Hello, Victor,

Oh, this is very kind of you! I will announce you when I receive it, and I will add it then on the donations page.
