Yes, you can add my post #129128 to the TODO. Thank you!

I achieved this by adding the following constraints:
2 time constraints: activity has a preferred starting time, activities are grouped
and
 1 space constraint: activities occupies max different rooms (max different =1)

I attach 2 files showing the method mentioned above

Sometimes during exams, some teachers have to be assigned to certain rooms so that they stay for a full day (or 1/2 day and maybe for all days/week). To do this, I think we need to add a space constraint, for example: max room changes in a given day for a teacher.

However, using this constraint will make it impossible to use the recently added constraint: a(all) room's max activities per teacher, unless if we make max activities > 1 ...

Hmm... in that case, we can remove that term. The help and description will remain unchanged; only that term will disappear. Personally, I'm not opposed to it; on the contrary, it's an excellent idea, because I think these constraints can be used in general situations.

Hello dear Liviu,
Yes, that's a good idea, but we need to think about it carefully and not rush into it. Currently, these constraints are recent and primarily intended for creating exam schedules. I'm afraid that if we remove the word "exam," users won't understand their purpose unless we modify the "help" to explain that they are used to create exam schedules.

Also, if we remove this term, it means that these constraints can be used in general cases, but we must provide examples for this, so that the user understands their usefulness in real cases.

Hmm... maybe we need other opinions from other users to make the right choice...

you are welcome, dear Liviu, and thank you too! 

Thank you, dear Liviu, for this important update which has brought considerable improvements; Among them, the issue of impossible files: the user is warned to modify their data before launching the generation due to the new constraint related to the building(s).
 
I was convinced that NSRT is very useful, as I and other users have been using it for almost 6 years to create exam schedules, and it would be very beneficial to add these functions to the official FET.

The idea of integrating NSRT into the official FET proved very useful. I hope other users will contribute their suggestions to further improve FET and make creating exam timetables easier.

Thank you for your reply! Yes, you're right, we can use TiTiTo to view the statistics. Actually, I already use it, but for the final FET file. Often, we need a quick check of the HTML file, especially in multiple generation. It's convenient to directly check the statistics in FET to better choose the best file. If, for example, we have 10 files resulting from multiple generation, it's tedious to import and export them 10 times to check each file.

Hello! @Volker Dirr : Maybe you could take a look at this topic.

... Indeed dear Liviu!  I tested with the number of activities is less than the number of hours open in the buildings, the generation is stopped and the user is notified to modify their data.

I tested it with some files; the generation starts normally, I didn't notice any difference!

If I remember correctly, in previous versions this problem didn't exist. Maybe because of the QT?

I use Windows 10. Maybe that's the reason for this? or maybe the processor?

Good morning!

Could you-please- take a closer look at this report file? The Arabic translation is supposed to be complete, but the report file shows incomplete expressions. This happens every time the multiple generation function is run. I checked the ts file but didn't find any incomplete fields. Is there an error somewhere?
Thanks for your help and continued support!

Hello!
The statistics for MA mode show only data for half-days. Is it possible to add columns that show data for full days (mornings + afternoons), such as gaps, hours? ( min and max).
