I am using FET to schedule a course that meets two times in a standard 5-day week.
The two activities must have a full day between them so MinDaysBetweenActivities is set to 2, at 100%. However, I do not want the activities to be scheduled on both Monday and Friday, because I consider Monday and Friday to be "consecutive" days. See below.
OK:
Tuesday and Thursday
Monday and Wednesday
Tuesday and Friday
NOT OK:
Tuesday and Wednesday
Thursday and Friday
Monday and Friday
Is there any way to make FET consider Monday and Friday consecutive for purposes of the MinDaysBetweenActivities constraint? If not, is there any way to express this constraint in FET some other way?

hmm... there are even 2 days between them (Saturday and Sunday).

A MaxDaysBetweenActivities set to 4 at 100% should help.

Very nice, Volker, I didn't think of this.
Yes, that worked perfectly.
Thank you so much.
