It does seem to be working, although now it is feeling the pain that I had trying to reduce split classes! 

I have also found that my (3) is already solved by viewing activities days vertical I just hadn't seen that view before!
And no problem on (1) as it seems to be doing what I want anyway!

Thank you very much for your help!

I had accidentally missed the BP version. I tried using AAT but the fact it had to be 30 was throwing things off so went back to official. BP seems to be doing what I want at initial glance.

I am assigning a single department of classes to a single department of teachers given that all blocks (A group of classes) are already timetabled at specific times where some blocks do overlap at real times. I want the ability to set certain classes to certain real teachers which I have done through preferred time slots.

A few final things that I could do with your help please.

• I need to make sure that real teachers have a max number of activities (I believe I have done this via the "Activities occupy max time slots from selection") but is there a way to check this via statistics?
• I am trying to reduce the number of split classes over real teachers. I currently am using "Students set max days per week = 1" which works ok however has to have a weighting of 100 meaning I have to manually adjust this to find a feasible timetable. Is there another way of relaxing this so that certain classes can be split if they have to be?
• What is the best way to export this so that I can see a "department timetable" in other words, shows all Real days against Real teachers with classes?

Many thanks for your speedy replies!!

Hi all,

After looking through the forums etc I have managed to use FET to help assign classes to teachers by using the real teachers = FET Days and Real time = FET Hours. However I have encountered one issue that I can't seem to solve.

I have a class which will have 4 periods over the week split between 3 teachers (2, 1, 1) during 4 school set time periods which I have assigned. A problem I am getting is that FET is assigning 2 of the Activities for the class to be happening at the same real time and day = FET hour over 2 different FET Days = Real teachers. Is there a constraint that tells FET to ensure activities start at a different FET hour (Real day and time) for different FET Days (Teachers) without me assigning them therefore removing the flexibility of the 4 activities to move around the different teachers during those times.

Hopefully I have been clear enough here.

Many thanks.
