Hi,
I am trying to determine if FET will work for my situation. I am scheduling auditions that have lots of different durations. For example, flute auditions are 20 minutes but voice auditions are only 7 minutes, and both will need to be scheduled simultaneously and continuously throughout the day. Will FET allow me to have many different "period" lengths that overlap? If so, any suggestions on how to do this? Many thanks!
You may be able so solve this by defining the lowest common divisor of all lengths. But maybe you'll obtain more than 60 "hours per day", in which case you need to modify FET to allow more.
Each activity will have its duration, probably bigger than 1.
Thanks very much for this info. The lowest common denominator would probably be one minute, so I think you are quite right that more than 60 "hours per day" would be necessary. Modifying FET would require compiling it, correct? I am working in a Windows environment, and I have hear that this makes compiling difficult. Thanks again!
Yes, compile FET.
It is not difficult, even on Windows.
Change MAX_HOURS_PER_DAY in file src/engine/timetable_defs.h, line 125.
You'll need to modify also the dialog of hours per day or, simpler, change the .fet XML file by hand to add more than 60 hours.
