Title: Number of working days per week
Post by: raihan on January 14, 2009, 05:59:11 AM
In my university few classes can be taught on Saturdays, but most classes have to be on days from Monday to Friday. How can I indicate in FET that only some of the activities are available on Satudays?

I think you can use the activity(ies) preferred starting time(s).

Or maybe define some activity tags for the activities: MonFri or MonSat, and add constraints activities preferred starting times for each activity tag.

Thanks, I have figured out that I could also indicate available days for teachers too, like some of them can work on Saturdays and some not. I have built a small timetable for my department using FET, worked great.  :)

and you can also do it with not available students (years/groups/or subgroups).

so if all groups of year 1 are not allowed to have school at saturday, then you just need to add a not available constraint to the year.

i think in most cases the not available constraint for students and teachers is the fastest solution.
