Get Help / soft conflicts?
August 04, 2011, 05:30:00 PM
What are soft conflicts? I find no mention of the expression in the manual and hardly any mention of them in the forum either.

Timtetable >> Show Soft Conflicts will show me the following info, which I don't really understand. Also, how many soft conflicts are too many to assume that chances are that the timetable won't ever be generated properly? I seem to have a high count in my log below :P

[code]Total conflicts: 2.58e+06
Conflicts listing (in decreasing order):
Time constraint basic compulsory broken: unallocated activity with id=1 (T:Lindsey, S:Math B, St:Class1) - this increases the conflicts total by 10000
.

.
. a zillion more....

Time constraint basic compulsory broken: unallocated activity with id=90 (T:Olga, S:History 1c, St:Class2) - this increases
.

.
. ...and so on.
