After entering the data
The table took a long time was not out to solve when I put one gap for the professor in week
you are sure you need so many locked times and room?
i unlocked all times and rooms.
then i was able to solve even with only 1 gap per week to all teachers.
i guess you took the data with locked times and rooms from the result directory.
please
a) use the "original" file
or
b) open the file with locked times/room. generate the file. then fet->timetable->advanced unlock->unlock all activities. now you can work again with that file. so modify gap to 1 and generate the table.
Sorry to enter in your topic but I think this is more than easy instead of opening another thread and to complicate the stucture of this forum...
Yes, my problem is a little different, but I see Wolker is very active and willing to help....thx!
So..my problem to summarize....
I have year I, subdivided into S1, S2. Each of the s1 and s1 si subdivided into 6 subgroups..so the structure is quite complicated (yIS1g1,yIS1g2,yIS1g-3-6,y1s2g6-12). For lectures, we have the entire S1 and entire S2 associated to 1 teacher/maybe 2.
The subgroups g1-12 have to be associated to teachers for the practical activities (partially the same teachers, but to others as well). My problem is, due to the large number of g's (12), each subject has to be separately associated to each g.
Please tell me how to use the association in order not te enter each g and activity and teacher and to set several groups-g1,g4,g6,g7 to one subject and teacher. Each group has to be set separately in a timeslot, not all together (this is how it does now if I add several subgoups into the selected box)
Thanks for your patience.....

Difficult to say. I fear i didn't understood 100%. I need more information. Maybe sent me an old timetable from the last year. I guess it will be easier for me to understand the problem with an old timetable.
Maybe your years-groups-subgrous division isn't the best.
Can you please read the "years, groups, subgroups" chapter?
compare:

Can you use the automatic "split year" feature to simplify your problem?
Thanks Volker for your advice. I hope now I can handle it. Now I have about 600 processes that seem to be handled ok...now I still have to input some more...keep your fingers crossed!
