Hi, and apologies if this is answered elsewhere in the forum. I couldn't find the answer.
In my school students choose courses, so that no student takes the same set of courses as any other student. I'm only using FET for a small section of the school. Being a begginer using FET (loving it), I have created a subgroup for each individual student and hence placed them in activities accordingly. This seems to work so far, but I have two concerns:
- Will this bring me problems in the long term when I include more students (over 1000)?
- How do I avoid getting a huge list of names on the printed schedules?
Thanks for you help, and congratulations on the wonderful program.
Thank you for the appreciation!
It will not bring generation speed problems when you will include 1000 students. Only that you will need to take care of them, to add them correctly to the activities.
About the huge list of names, maybe Volker can answer better (you can hide the students names in the timetable, I think). Maybe a better approach would be to make a students group for each students sets which belong to an activity.
About the huge list of names:
Maybe you placed the students names into the activities?
It's better to add only a single group name into the activity.
Thank you so much, I'll keep doing it this way, but I'll take a look into Volker's suggestion. FET is truly going to save us many a headache this year...
Hello. I think I understand the "huge list of names" problem (I am also using subgroups for individual students).
I think you're refering to the "Table of Contents" in the HTML output being long due to the large number of repeated subgroups. You can add the following to the CSS in the timetable's HTML output folder to hide the contents:
ul { display: none; }
(It's not very scientific, but currently the only bulleted list element in the HTML output is the table of contents, so you can hide all lists to achieve what you want.)
That is a visual hint, that is correct. But the file name will stay hugh.
I still recommend to add a group. then add all students into that group.
but set only the group (not the students) into the activity. Then you will have got small html files and smaller tables.
