I  will try to make an example of what I mean. Imagine I have 2 years with teachesrs A, B, C, D, E and F and a week with 5 days, the day is divided in 4 hours. The attached files has this example.

When the teachers ask for an activity I have to match the year, the availability in order to have a valid set of data. In the example, it is impossible to generate the timetable, because there are open slots that need a teacher. In this case I have to change the Activity or the teacher.

In this simple example it is very easy to visualize, but I have 396 activities, 25 different groups( some divided into subgroups with different activities simultaneous for esch subgroup) and 50 teachers. The week is divided in 5 days some groups have their days split in 6 hours and others in 4 hours.

Visualize the  availability of teachers per year/group would help a lot to identify the locks in the process.

Thank you again for the great software.

The idea behind this kind of report is to identify possible locks in the relationship between the "Teachers not available times" and the activities of each teacher in a given year.

This information is important to our institution because we have many teachers that have other jobs and we need to adjust their availability to the activities. Some situations can be only seen with this kind of data crossing.

I have inserted all the data in the program, but it can't generate, so I have to dive into the data to identify the problem. I had a problem with one activity that is caused by another activity in other Year, and I can only see that looking into all the years and crossing the data manually, without a timetable.

I would like to generate a report that show the teachers and theirs restrictions (mainly the "Teachers not available times") and Activities related to the years (with its Groups and subgroups), in a way that I can better manage the distribution of the teachers activities according to their availability.

I have been making this by hand, but it generates a lot of work on each manual iteration on the timetable. As the data is stored on the FET database, it could be generated directly by the program.

I think in a pair of tables per year, one with the teachers and their activities in that year and another with the "teachers not available time" for that year.

With this table it could be simpler to redistribute Activities or teachers.

Thank you for the great program

Thank you, Volker.

I started reading the HTML code after the post and realized that there are tables inside the tables, but I haven't tried to put the size in the even and odd table definitions. I will try to get the tables working with these changes.

On the cell span issue. It can be a suggestion on future versions as it would increase the readability of the tables as it will have no repeated cells for activities with more than one hour.

Another suggestion for a future release is the option to only "print" to HTML the hours that the students have. In my case, I have students divided in turns (morning, afternoon and evening) and each turn only have ativities in that specific turn. When I generate the tables, the morning students' table have the afternoon and evening hours as not available (there are restrictions for this in the .FET file). The same occurs in the afternoon and evening students. I suggest that these not available hours of the students don't end up in the final HTML table.

Thank you, anyway.

Hello all.

I need to reformat the HTML outputs in order to print them, so I need to have the tables with a fixed size.

I tried to edit the CSS file in order to have this result, but there is a problem with some of the tables.

I tried a solution that Volker gave in the topic http://lalescu.ro/liviu/fet/forum/index.php?topic=102.msg444#msg444 but, for some reason, it doesn't worked. But, changing the table format from

Code Select Expand

table {
  text-align: center;
}

to

Code Select Expand

table {
  table-layout: fixed;
  width: 2000px;  /* Important */
  text-align: center;
}

worked in the sense of having the table and the columns with fixed width, but this way some of my activities don't show up correctly.

Actually, the text of the cell appears 3 or 4 cells after the correct location and with some texts superimposed to others.

There are two files in te attached zip that can be used to show the problem.

In my table I have some activities that are splited between two teachers. These activities are always in 2 period classes (2 FET hours with the same teacher), but FET repeats the same activity two times, others activities appears as a one activity that spans through 2 FET hours. It would me better  if these activities showed up the same way the others do (1 of 2 hours instead of 2 of 1 hour). I think that this is a limitation and I suggest that this change could be added in future versions. If I am wrong, please show me how to do this change

Thank you, all.

It was very strange, I removed the restrictions of "min hours daily for a teacher" and it still go stuck, but then I add a restriction of min hours for all teachers with a value of 2 and removed it after a non completion and now it worked.

I still don't got what messed the data in my machine, but now it's back on.

Thank you, guys.

Hi,

I am setting up a timetable using FET 5.19 and today I encountered a strange behavior.

After a successful generation I changed the CSS level of the generated HTML and FET stopped working. It start but can't continue after allocate 6 out of 396 activities. The process used to last a few seconds to finish, but now it lasts for more than a minute and can't go further than 6 activities.

I attached the file, if someone can can help.

Thank you.
