Hi all!
First time on this forum as I recently downloaded FET and am trying to implement it for a secondary school (about 1000 students, 100 teachers). However, I'm confused on the 'Teacher constraint' : it says (and I quote the manual)
"Time constraints (teachers) → A teacher is not available
<...>
It might happen that teachers, students or rooms are not available.
This constraints must have weight 100%."
Does this mean it is not possible to add a preference on a teacher's availability like "Teacher A would love to have all Thursday off" (should the timetable have a valid solution. If there is no solution possible : too bad for him, he will have to teach on Thursday). I tried adding a weight below 100%, but it is not accepted.
Sincerely, Steve
