Thanks

Hi FET Forum,
At our school, during self-study periods, one teacher supervises multiple classes by floating between them to check if students are studying or playing. How can I set this up in FET? I need the teacher to be assigned to multiple classes simultaneously during these periods without conflicts. Any guidance or constraints to use?
Thanks!

Our school uses a student management system that requires timetable data to be imported in a specific Excel format. I'm wondering if someone can assist me on how to export data in this format using FET ,Titito (or any other tool). For reference, please see the attached screenshot for clarification.

  Thanks a lot

[Filtering in dialogs:]

Thank you for your thoughtful response! I truly appreciate you taking the time to consider my suggestions and for adding them to the TODO list—it means a lot knowing they might contribute to FET's future development.

I only discovered FET last week, and I must say—it's a wonderful piece of software! I'm still exploring its features, but it's already clear how powerful and flexible it is for timetable planning. Kudos to you and Liviu for creating such a robust tool!

Regarding your questions:

• Filtering in dialogs: Yes, I've tried filtering in the activities/constraints dialogs—it's quite helpful! The keyboard shortcut tip (e.g., pressing "s" to jump to names) is especially handy.
• Activity grouping: I see the challenge with uncategorized subjects/teachers. Attached is a mockup of how folding might look in the "Add Activity" dialog (grouped by activity type for clarity). It's just a rough idea—feel free to ignore if it's impractical!

Thanks again for your hard work and dedication. FET has already saved me hours of manual scheduling, and I'm excited to keep learning its advanced features.

[incredible work]

Hi Volker,
First of all, thank you for your incredible work on FET. The application is a masterpiece of thoughtful design and functionality, and your dedication to keeping it free and open source is truly admirable. You've empowered countless educators and institutions around the world with a tool that's both powerful and elegant—hats off to you!
I'd like to suggest a UI enhancement that could make FET even more user-friendly. In dialogs such as Activities, Subjects, Teachers, Students, and Constraints, the lists can become quite long and difficult to navigate. It would be extremely helpful to have a fold/expand toggle for grouped items—similar to how code folding works in editors like VS Code.
For example:
•    In the Activities dialog, fold all activities under "O1 Business" or "O2 Science"
•    In the Subjects dialog, collapse subjects by department or level
•    In Constraints, group and fold by type (e.g., time constraints, space constraints)
This would make it much easier to focus on specific sections without excessive scrolling, especially when working on large timetables.
Thanks again for your continued work and generosity in maintaining FET!
