I have a working timetable. Next week, an excursion takes place for 3 days, where 3 out of 9 students sets and 3 teachers participate. Thus, none of them will be at school during these days. How can I change the timetable of these 3 specific days in order to avoid the gaps for the other 6 students sets, due to teachers absence?
hmmm...
You can unlock that days, delete the depending activities and generate again. Maybe you need to delete also some constraints (like min hours per day, ...)
But that is much work. I fear you will be faster if you currently try to solve that manualy.
I am currently working / coding an option that can solve that problems, but i am not ready yet. So you must wait some more weeks :-(

I think you 're right. It is too much. It was easier to get the original timetable, delete all 4 days and delete the 3 affected subgroups. Then, I deleted all time constraints not needed (the vast majority). I deactivated the activities not applying to that day and generated a new timetable. I did the same for all 3 days. Ie I created 3 timetables, with a single day each. It was easier than working with the whole set and the results were better than my manual efforts :)

Too bad for me, since I need this next week :)
It doesn't matter I'll have it for the next similar case!
Thank you!
Hi Volker,
are there any news regarding this change you mentioned? From time to time I need to modify a single day's timetable, due to a teacher's absence. It would be very convenient if there was a way to do this automatically.
Thank you!
Hi,
i am coding on a soltuion. not perfect yet, but basic stuff is working. i will release a test version in less then a week. (i think at the end of this weekend).
Great news, thank you very much! :)
Still not ready, still a lot to do. But I promised to publish in less then one week.
It's not a FET variant, it is also not a FET competitor. It is more like a FET add-on. But these "add-on's" doesn't fit into FET and so i decided to code an extra program.
The "Partial change of timetable due to teachers absence" stuff is still beta. The ical export stuff should work, even for FET Custom versions (for Moroccan and Algerian schools).
It was a hard and long decision: This software won't be published as open source at the moment. It will be closed source / commercial. Of course I will still continue developing FET with Liviu like in the past. So don't worry. FET will stay open source and development will continue.
You can test this preview for free.

Thanks for your effort. Could you please give some short instructions on how to use it?
Using File->Manage Timetables, I imported a generated timetable. Then I add the teachers that they will be absent in a particular day/time interval. Then how do I proceed? How can I generate the new timetable?

Correct.
Then go to "substitution". You can see the "problematic" activities there. Now you (currently) need to manually select a teacher that should substitute (double lick at the teacher name. You can also double click on the room name to change the room.). As you can see i will add some help in one of the next releases (display only teachers that teach the same students and/or display only teachers that teach the same subject). As soon as that is done (it will take some time) i will try to automatically detect lessons that can be bring forward.
I fear a total automatic generation will not be coded (soon), because i tired do to it with FET and the dataset of our school. Result: In most cases it is nearly impossible, or if it is possible much to many activities need new times. So it doesn't make to do it.
Since there is a new board in this forum, please don't report or ask about TiTiTo in the FET boards. Please use the TiTiTo board:

Of course still use this board it is a FET topic.
