from colleague "AISSE" One of the problems we meet in PREPARING TIMETABLEs is the case when the number of groups " classes " exceeds the number of class-rooms i mean here you have 20 groups and 15 rooms only .how to manage in such a case .personnally as a user of fet i did not met such a trick as my school has extra rooms .thanks in advance
I am not sure if i understood correct.
I guess you need 2 things:
1. you must be able to detect those problems as early as possible.
so the first trick is that all activities must have a space constraints.
Check FET -> Statistics -> Activities rooms statistics.
Now you will notice hopefully early enough that the timetables is not solve able because of missing rooms.
2. The seconds things is you need to fix that problem. Sadly very difficult to answer how to do that without seeing the dataset. In "normal" case you need to allow more timeslots and are prefer special slots for those activities. So maybe those activities will be taught normally at the end of the day (of course at least 2 different days). So other students can go home and don't get gaps.
