Hello
After much reading, I'm trying to follow this path to achieve my desided timetable but I have some doubts:
In my high school we have 6 different levels (students from 12 to 17 years): 1ESO, 2ESO, 3ESO, 4ESO, 1BAC & 2BAC
And we have 3 different groups at every level, so we have 1ESO-A, 1ESO-B, 1ESO-C, 2ESO-A, 2ESO-B,...
- After having imported the students in a csv file, should I give the 6 different levels the "year" (by FET) status and the 18 different groups the "group" (by FET) status?
- If so, afterwards, should I place the students as subgroups inside their real groups?
- And then, I have read I must care about "group" activities and forget about "subgroups". But, this way I can't see how is FET going to identify which students belong to French, to Portuguese or to Classical Culture, for instance.
I hope you could enlighten me :-\
Hello,
I recommend 6 years: 1ESO, ..., 2BAC, and 18 groups 1ESO-A, ... . Each student in his own group, and then create some additional groups in the years, like: year 1ESO containing 1ESO-A, 1ESO-B, 1ESO-C, and also containing 1ESO-French, 1ESO-Portuguese, and 1ESO-Classical Culture, in which you add the duplicate subgroups from 1ESO-A, 1ESO-B, and 1ESO-C. So the groups are overlapping.
You can also add subgroups in the activities, without creating the groups 1ESO-French, 1ESO-Portuguese, and 1ESO-Classical Culture, but it is ugly. For the FET generation algorithm it is the same.

Thank you!
I had tried adding subgroups in the activities but you are right, it is ugly; not for teachers timetables but for groups timetables (the ones we should give to the students).
I'll try the other solution.
From what I understand, I must create another set of 6 years with the same names "1ESO", "2ESO",... and then more groups besides the previous 18. Is that right?

No, keep 6 years, but with more than 18 groups. Only the groups contain overlapping subgroups. In the CSV is it easy to import, and in the interface you can create a group and add existing subgroups with clicks. Let me know if you need more help.
Thank you again
I think (and I hope) I got it now.
You'll be informed :D
