Title: Teacher wants to be in one specific building on one day
Post by: niobee on September 06, 2019, 12:02:29 AM
Hello,
in my school there are 3 buildings and 9 classes (3 for each building).
One teacher has activities in all of these classes, there are 9 activities, each lasts 2 hours.
Usually the timetable of this teacher is like this: on 4 days he works 4 hours and on one day 2hours.

Now to my problem, the teacher would like to be in building A on mondays.. now in building A there are 3 activities total, but on one day he can do only 2.. I don't like to force one class in particular to be on monday, because I don't want to create a too strong constraint.. so I want the program to choose which two activities to put on Monday, but how can I tell the app that I want this teacher in building A?

Thank you in advance!  :D

I think you need a customization.

Other solutions might include: add teacher max building changes per week/day, and adding a dummy activity for this teacher, forced in building A on Monday.

This solution is exactly what I was thinking about, but it implies 2 problems: I need to break the rule "not more than 4hours/day", but this could be a minor problem.. and I need the teacher to be able to move from one school to another on the same day (max 3 per week), but not on monday, but how to set this in fet?

I was also thinking to create a dummy activity (4 hours) for a dummy teacher with no students and to place it in building A on mondays, then try to say that at least 2 of the 3 activities of the real teacher are on the same day of dummy activity.. perhaps this could be a workaround?

No, you cannot set this.

No, this won't work, because the real activities of the real teacher won't be constrained in building A.

Thank you!!

Ad far as I know, this teacher could change school in a few days..  ??? He just arrived, but there was a problem with assigning the teachers.. so the principal told me not to go mad about this request because it is 99% sure he will change school!  ;D

Good for me, so I can go back to the timetable without this "problem"  8)
