You cannot import constraints by CSV. You could do that by the .fet XML code, but it is not as easy.

I was able to get that working by writing a couple of generators!

Wow, thank you!  I tried it with my file that works with the release version and the custom build hangs during generation.  Not sure what is wrong.  Can I send you the file (not sure how to do that?)

Thanks

I don't know what would be involved in a customization.  Seems that this would be a useful feature in general, but has some ramifications since everything is based on period.

For now, I can deal with the additional constraints and just add them via a CSV import.  I think it will have some effect on what appears on the timetable, so that will need to be factored in.

Thanks for the quick responses

I tried this with 1 of the private lessons, which I already have set up with tags.

All the private lessons are set up with the tag "1-on-1".  I already had a space constraint for that tag that contained a list of the rooms (that's the only way I could get the private lessons scheduled to the rooms).

I have a single "Room Sanitation" activity, to which I added a "Sanitation" tag.  I added a space constraint for that tag with the same list of rooms.

I then added the consecutive constraint for one lesson + Room Sanitation (I realize I ultimately need multiple sanitation activities).  The generated timetable has the lesson+sanitation correctly scheduled consecutively, but in different rooms!  So, I had to add another constraint for the two activities to be in the same room if consecutive.  That works, but requires a lot of additional constraints to be created.  Is there a way to do this last constraint with activity tags?

Thanks!

I have a small set of rooms to which private music lessons are timetabled.  I need to enforce a Covid rule that the room needs to be unoccupied for 15 mins before the next lesson begins.  So, I need a way to schedule a "sanitation" activity after every other activity.  Is this possible or is there an alternative way to achieve this?  I already have my timetable set up with 15 min periods.

Thanks for any help!
