Title: Grouped activities not split by break
Post by: evanchio on July 11, 2024, 09:01:19 AM
Hello, thank you for the FET software.
I have a question about grouped activities with breaks.
F1 have 4 class ABCD, two teachers (T1/T2) teach F1 (AB/CD) English. They want to have a test together once per week.

I set the activities F1AC (Eng Test) have the same starting time, F1BD(Eng Test) have the same starting time, then I grouped F1AB(Eng Test) together, I want to have the result:
Period 2          F1A(Eng Test)   F1B(Eng Test)
Period 3     F1C(Eng Test)   F1D(Eng Test)
----X----- Break
Period 4
But some times it will have the result :
Period 2         
Period 3     F1A(Eng Test)   F1B(Eng Test)
----X----- Break
Period 4     F1C(Eng Test)   F1D(Eng Test)
I know that it can be solved by set them be consecutive activities and assign the 1st activity having starting time Period 2 or Period 4.
But can I solve it with those activities are grouped? (not in order) and not split by break.

Many Thanks.

Hello! You are welcome; thank you, too!

I think you could use the constraint max hourly span of a set of activities, probably max span = 2 (duration of A + duration of C).

PS: You wrote AC same starting time and group AB together, but in your illustration it is AB same starting time and AC together.
