Hello. Is there a way to quickly assign preferred starting times for ALL activites in one shot? (of course with 95% constraints or so)
Thanks in advance
Hello!
Of course, activities preferred starting times with selected empty teacher, students, subject, and activity tag. Neglect the warning.
But I don't like this solution. I prefer using only 100% weight constraints for preferred times. The reason is that generation will be slowed and the results won't be satisfactory. I recommend instead teachers/students interval max days per week or subactivities preferred starting times.
Ok, thanks a lot!
Indeed I would that FET place activities starting always from 1st slot every day.
Instead I notice activities beginning at random slot even when all slots are free. That's why I was thinking to constraint preferred starting time for all activities.
Is there an easier way?
Please consider these constraints:
- Students early (max beginnings at second hour).
- Students/teachers interval max days per week (intervals = last hours of the day).
- Activities occupy min/max time slots from selection (I think there is a Help button there).
- Activities min/max simultaneous in selected time slots (I think there is a Help button there).
Thanks. Yes I have a lot to learn about this powerful application.
You're welcome!

In the Block-planning mode, there is also this constraint: Max activities from a set in selected time slots. I did not consider this constraint useful to add into the Official mode, but if you really need it I could maybe make for you a customization or even consider adding it to the Official mode in the official FET.
