How can I make a pause between activities? FET can not generate this:

10:00 a.m. Mathematics 1 (Hour 1 of 2)
11:00 a.m. BREAK
12:00 p.m. Mathematics 1 (Hour 2 of 2 ...Continuing the previous activity)

The BREAK do with "TIME CONSTRAINTS-> MISCELLANIUS-> BREAK TIMES" but to generate the schedule, the program tells me "Activity with id=1 has no allowed slot - please correct that"

This recess is forced by the shool, because the teacher can only teach from 10:00 to 13:00. Can you helpme?

I think there are 2 possibilities:

1) Don't define a break. Just make hours: 10:00, 12:00 (remove hour 11:00).

2) Add activity A divided into A1 (duration 1 hour), A2 (duration 1 hour), min days 0 (or min days 1 but WITHOUT consecutive if same day, if this activity has more components and you want them in different days). Then constraint two activities grouped for A1 and A2.

More explanation for 2): constraint min days between activities with "consecutive if same day" true does not allow a break between them. Constraint two activities grouped allows that.

Let me know if this solves your problem.
