Title: Post-processing changes to a timetable
Post by: Mr Robo on February 01, 2012, 05:02:06 AM
Hi

Is there a way of making very minor changes to a timetable after it has been generated without having to re-generate it?

I use FET to generate homework assignments as well as the usual timetable stuff. A homework has students, but no teacher and no room but is constrained to be on the same night as a lesson in the same subject.

FET does a good job, but occasionally teachers want to change the homework night for other reasons. It seems the only way i can do this is to edit about 42 individual html files! Is there an easier way?

Thanks

Nick

In the directory containing all html-files, you can find a fet-file with all activities locked in time and place. If you open this fet-file and regenerate, it will only take feww seconds and you get the same timetable again.
Now, you can "move" actitivities by changing the constraints "activity has preferred starting time" (or "has preferred room" or ...) and regenerate again in a few seconds.

Regards,

Christian
