It is done!

Thank you for this fantastic project and all the help you provided!

Miguel Freitas, Portugal

Once again, thanks for all your help!

I would like to make a donation, to help you improve this awesome project.

How can i do that?

Hello!

Thanks again for this great software and for all the willingness you have shown.

In my school, I have this time distribution:



As you can see, teachers can go to lunch at different times, depending on the classes they teach.

What is the best way to ensure that all teachers, between 11:50 am and 2:50 pm, have at least 60 consecutive minutes for lunch?

Thank you.

Thanks!

I have 3 subjects. S1 can be on the same day with S2 or S3, S2 can be on the same day with S1 or S3, S3 can be on the same day with S1 or S2.
But I can't have S1 + S2 + S3 on the same day.

Hello!

How can I make sure that three subjects do not coincide on the same day. I can only do with two.

Thanks!

Thanks!!!

Hello!

When I generate schedules, sometimes some afternoons are occupied with only one block (as in the attached example). Ideally, each afternoon should be as busy as possible and as many afternoons as possible should be free, so that the students are at school as few afternoons as possible. How can I introduce these kinds of conditions?

Thank you.

Maybe you could add that option to the software? Easier for beginners. Anyway, thanks for the tip.

And, once again, thank you for this awesome free software! If i can, i will try to make a donation, for helping you in this great project.

I wanted to leave feedback that I managed to solve my problem, with times of 10 minutes. It took some work to convert all 600+ lessons already released as 50-minute lessons.

I leave the recommendation to have a form of direct conversion between different times, for example, converting all 50-minute lessons into 5 10-minute lessons. I don't know if it will be possible.

Thank you for your help!

Queria deixar o feedback de que consegui resolver o meu problema, com tempos de 10 minutos. Deu algum trabalho a converter todas as mais de 600 aulas já lançadas como aulas de 50 minutos.

Deixo a recomendação de haver uma forma de conversão direta entre tempos diferentes, por exemplo, converter todas as aulas de 50 minutos em 5 aulas de 10 minutos. Não sei se será possível.

Obrigado pela ajuda!

Thanks for the reply.

Yeah, I wasn't seeing any other solution either, other than adding 10 minute hours.

Besides all the work it will take (I already have the schedules done in 50 minute hours), I'm also worried about what the final look of the timetables will be like.
With 7 daily 50 or 60 minute classes, that will give about 40 or 50 10 minute FET times. Will the schedules have 40 or 50 lines?
Is it possible to improve the look of the timetables?

OK, I saw that you changed the image, now, but why did the values change? (I could understand the Portuguese terms.)

The first problem, which I pointed out, is that teachers should be prevented to have two activities at the same real time.

About the second problem, you could simply add 6+1+4 hour per day and not available constraints as needed for students. Then you will simply consider the slots as needed. Or, as you say, consider a FET hour = 10 real minutes. But this is unnecessarily complicated.

I have changed the values, to try to make the clock-in and clock-out times as close as possible, to avoid teachers having too much time on hold for the next class if they have to teach a different group.

Regarding the second problem, I still don't understand the solution pointed out. The suggestion was to launch 6 times in the morning, 1 at lunch and 4 times in the afternoon. But how can I guarantee, on the one hand, that teachers don't have overlapping classes and, on the other hand, that they don't have gaps?

For example: Teacher A will teach group 3 from 08:30 to 09:20. But he can´t teach the second time in the morning to group 2, nor the first time of the morning to group 1, since the classes started at 09:00.

How can I guarantee these conditions, without using actual hours or breaks?

I've already changed the image, so that you can better understand what i need. Each group has to come in at different times, have different breaks and go to lunch at different times.

I see 2 problems: one is an issue pointed out, that there are blocks that, in different cycles, overlap.
The other is the question of how to enter the times/hours: for example, the first time in the morning for group 1 is 09:00-10:00 but for group 2 it is 08:10-09:10. How should I enter the hours/periods per day?
Should I enter in 10 minute intervals? Won't the timetable be too confusing and illegible?

Good Morning!

First of all, I leave my public thanks for this fantastic software!

I am responsible for making the schedules at my School, but the classes must be out of phase/in bubbles, because of COVID-19. That is, they cannot come in at the same time, they cannot take breaks at the same time, and they cannot go to lunch at the same time.

Basically, the schedules should have this form:



What is the best way for me to enter times/schedules? Thanks.
