hi, could anyone please tell me how to set a constraint so that one teacher does not have one set of students for one subject more than twice a day, as i have generated a timetable and some teachers have 3 lessons on one day with one student set. the max there can be is 2 periods per day.
i would really appreciate it if someone could help me on this.
thanks in advance

Hello,

You could use constraints of type min days between activities or teacher(s)/students (set) activity tag max hours daily.

hi, thank you very much for the quick reply.
but if i use the min days between activities constraint, and set it to 1 day, then that would not allow for 2 activities on the same day would it?

1) If you have 100% weight, yes.

2) If you have <100.0%:

  a) If consecutive is yes, you can have maximum 2 activities on the same day (please try an example with 2 days and an activity split into 5, FET will not start generating, reporting an error).
  b) If consecutive is no, you can have any number of activities on the same day.

So, for 2) b) I think you cannot use min days constraints. But you can use activity tag max hours daily.
