I'm not sure I've understood you. Whether I allocate things as their real category or as rooms, I can't find how to set constraints. The predefined constraints appear to be inappropriate for my situation, and I can't find where I can specify arbitrary constraints.

Here's an example of the desired schedule:

My basic constraints are listed in the link I posted above. If something is unclear, can you explain? Because I thought I'd spelled out exactly and in detail what I'm looking for.

EDIT: Looks like the image link doesn't work for some reason. Once again, here's the site where I explained in more detail.

Get Help / Can FET make this kind of schedule?
May 03, 2011, 05:16:16 AM
I'm trying to schedule a set of special weekend classes and support activities. The class schedule is fixed, and the scheduling algorithm can ignore the students (because the schedule is already determined).

What I need to do is assign teachers to the classes. In most cases, most teachers should rotate between classes. In other words, suppose that in a given term a particular class has 7 sessions and there are 5 teachers available to be scheduled. Thus, each teacher should be scheduled once, and two of the teachers should have an additional time they're scheduled. Multiply this by 6 events, and add in the requirement of weekends off and the ability to force a particular teacher to be scheduled for a manually-specified time in some cases. That's my situation. You can find a more detailed problem description here.

I can't figure out if this is possible in FET, because the documentation is focused on the more common cases. Can FET help me?
