Splitted sessions that should be consecutive

[Cyrus Ireri]

I have a scenario where the class should have its sessions two consecutive even when there is a break in between.Apart from the first and second sessions,all the others  will force a teacher to teach his/her session then be back after the breaks .How do i ensure that happens with ease.I have tried having two activities consecutive but its unable to generate when the 50 sessions are added.

Every day there should be 1 double and the other 8 sessions be splitted that are consecutive even after breaks.This is for revision purposes

[Liviu Lalescu]

If there is min days between them with consecutive if same day, FET will not span them over a break.

Please send me your file. I'll look at it tomorrow (Sunday, actually today ).

There we go.My area of concern is for form 4P,4S, 4L, 4J.All two splitted activities of any subject should be done max once in a day.

The easiest variant will be not adding the break hours. The table will become smaller and easier to read by that. Also generating will be (a bit) faster.
In worst case, if you need to see the breaks (but i don't think so, since you can add the break times as a comment, so the information is also visible but without enlarging the table), you could add the hours again after generating with software TiTiTo.

Hello, Cyrus

Please allow me some hours, because I am just in the process of releasing the new FET version.

I'm introducing fet to a school that has been timetable using asc and wish to change to fet.They threw the challenge to me since thats what they have been doing.I was shocked to see with asc, they could create a lesson with duration 2 and occupy two slots that have a break in between.It really shocked me.How that was possible i couldn't understand.I only told them with fet,it was possible to have the sessions splitted but make them consecutive.Lets see what we can do without removing breaks and involving another software.Its a good challenge to us.

Hello, Cyrus

Take your time.The new release fet version means alot to us.

[Cyrus Ireri]

I have àn idea.I will use tags that have min gaps of one.

[Liviu Lalescu]

Cyrus, I am nearly ready with the new release. I will see your file a bit later.

But I am not sure I understand correctly the problem. These 2 subactivities must be separated by a break, or they may be either continuous (no break in between) or separated by a break?

Because of the timings,the 3rd hour activity must continue after break and that continues with other sessions.For group 1-3, i will have one common tag for all activities and same to the form 4s.I will give gap min gaps between the two so that when one is in form 4, they will not be in form 1-3 hence avoiding collision.The only thing about form 4s is i will have half the sessions and lock all sessions after breaks to enable continuation.I will share the outcome later when done.

I am sorry, Cyrus, maybe I am tired, but I still don't understand the problem. I will try to relax a bit and read again a bit later. Maybe your file will enlighten me, I'll see it a bit later.

Volker, did you understand the problem?

[Cyrus Ireri]

Worry not.It shall be well

[Liviu Lalescu]

I saw your file. I think I know the problem. You have 5 days and some activities are split 1+1+1+1+1+1 (6x1). This is not good. You should add 1+1+1+1+1 100% min 1 days between, and then two activities grouped for one of these 5 and the 6th one, which is not in the 5.

If you have 6 subactivities with consecutive if same day = true, FET won't split them over a break. And also you make FET lose time, because clearly the min days 95% must be broken once.

I will have a break now, I am not sure I will answer so soon.

[Cyrus Ireri]

I solved by use of tags. Have a look at the file
