Hello,

Can you please help me with a constraints - Wherein I can ensure daily 3 or 4-hours daily activity for a Student irrespective of any activity tag like Lecture/Tutorial/Practical or Student (Year/Group/SubGroups).

The purpose is to have minimum 3 to 4 hour of any activity for the Student in a day (ensuring no off day),
so that Students coming to the campus for a day - spend atleast 3 or similar hours for the class (activity) and they are not coming to the campus for a day for a single class (activity). Because in that case - Student will prefer not to come to the campus on that day for 1 hour activity.

Please suggest

Thank you Liviu for all the kind support, this version works.
using the same for the further TT generation and will keep you posted.

Thank you Liviu for your kind quick response and understanding the concern.
Yes, a global setting of check box to override the previous results makes sense, so that it gives flexibility to opt for any of the desired options.

Multiple generation with every time new folder output still works, as an individual needs to check all the relevant outputs manually.

Thank you for considering it.

Thank you for your kind reply.
The challenge with this is - after every change - when a TT is generated. A new folder gets created. Then I need to open the folder -> search the required output file and view the changes.

Earlier - I just needed to refresh the page (after every new TT generate) and the new output/changes were visible but now I have to go back to the new folder -> open file to see the output.

Please suggest - if i go back previous version of - 6.22.0 - Do I lose any great feature.

Thank you for your support.

Hello,

I am using the latest version of FET - 6.28.1
Every time a new output folder is created - with I "Generate New". Earlier "Generate New" used to override the TT output unless the FET file was saved with new name.

How to Every time get the "Generate New" output in the same folder unless the file name is saved as.

Thank you for your support.

Hello Volker,
Thank you for your reply.
As suggested, Removed 4 constraint and added - All Students Gap Per Week (0 Gap per week) - but did not get output even after 7min of running (My laptop is i7 with 8gb RAM).
Does this mean that to get quick output - we need better configuration than this one.

Trying to apply conditions as suggested. and hope this helps.

Hello Volker,
Thank you for your reply. Attached is the FET file for your kind reference.

Yes I want to reduce the gap and want to further optimize before the time table is freeze for the entire semester - so that students are not waiting for their next class (too long) - probably a gap of max 1 hour (between 2 activities max.)

and also No day has more than 6 hours (or max 7 hours) hours of teaching approx.
Also alteast each day has 3 hours of teaching (exception on Thursday with 2 hours)
Also No day is a free day (Mon to Fri)

Thank you for your support & guidance (if any for the FET file and the way activities and constraints are defined)

Hello,

Need your guidance on options to optimize the Student wise time table before it gets freeze.
Please suggest the options - Students wise
1. wherein  2 to 3 hours of gaps can be removed
2. minimum 3 to 4 hours of sessions are there daily
3. when one "Student group" is optimized, the other Students groups still requires re-running

This results in running of the FET Time table multiple times but still the most ideal version is not achieved.

Looking forward to your support. to understand the list of final optimizations applied to  timetable and then freeze.

Thank you Vangelis for the reply.
yes after creating this ticket - i realized Min & Max hours per day (with out any free day helps).
but now will also try as suggested "Spread the activities evenly over the week" - as have never tried this.

Thank you for all your guidance and support.

Hi,
is there any rule which i can apply -
So that Program/Class wise activities occupies all 5 days in a week (Mon to Fri).
I do NOT want any free days for the students.

right now activities are getting squeezed to 4 or 3 days a week (i am sure this is to optimize the TT but i want all days with Activities).

One option i tried - wherein applied "Student Not Available Time" and kept blocking the last hours per day to get the shorter version of available slots. but is there a better way to do this.

Need your help please.

Bharat
