Hi there,
I'm messing with FET but I'm stuck at a very basic level.
I want to set this hourly schedule for my daily lessons:
08:30-10:00
10:15-11:45
12:00-13:30
14:00-15:30
15:45-17:15
17:30-19:00
In FET I was able to set only the starting hour (eg 08:30) but not the duration.
What I'm a missing?
Thanks to anyone helping.
In FET, you can have only the same duration for all hours, and duration 1 hour. Maybe you can try to give the name of only the start hour and work like that.

That is good, because each period has duration 1 h and 30 min. So each period has the same duration.
so you can add this names into FET->DATA->Days and Hours.
So "Hour 1" is "08:30-10:00"
and so on.
The word "Hour" is maybe not the best, FET mean "period".
if you add an activity that should take 1 hour and 30 minutes, then you just add an activity with duration 1.
duration 1 doesn't mean 1 hour, it mean 1 period. (And you periods are 1h and 30 min.)

in our school most periods are one hour each. but the beginning of the day has two periods of half hours (8:00-8:30, 8:30-9:00) for social activities. Yet, sometimes we do assign one hour class at that time-segment. how can I tell FET that these two half hour periods can be combined to one hour class?

Maybe you could define a FET hour=1 real half hour. So you have double FET hours per day than real hours. Then, each activity has duration 2 FET hours and preferred starting times for all activities with duration 2 is allowed on odd FET hours, and starting times for activities with duration 1 (one real half hour) is on first 2 FET hours.
My solution may be too complicated for what you need and others may have better solutions.
