Title: How to add days in basic data without modifying existing constraints?
Post by: pnlshd on April 27, 2024, 09:44:10 PM
Hello,

Any idea how can I properly add days to the week in the basic data without affecting existing constraints?

I have a case where I am building an exam timetable and I want ALL students to have min 7 resting hours which is the number of lessons per day (basically saying all students should not have two exams in consecutive days but in an easier way than manually doing min days between activities) but the problem is that exams take two weeks and I have not added the off days in the beginning and now this constraint considers the end and start of the week as having no rest. I wanted to add this day and make it not available for all students but I don't want the current Teacher not available constraints to get affected (aka shifted when I add it).

Thank you.

I managed to do this by manually adding the day and modifying the number of days in the source .FET file. If you have any general feedback about the problem itself you are most welcome :)
