SETTING MAX SESSIONS FOR TEACHERS IN THE AFTERNOON

A quick one,how do i go about the same constraint but now dealing with subject with 2 single and double sessions where by out of the 4,i need 2 sessions to be in the mornings.I want the system to decide on its own whether its the two sub activities or double to be in the mornings.This is common in sciences

So, 1+1+2, and 2 in the morning? I'm sorry, but it's either you choose yourself, or use activities occupy min time slots from selection.

I go with the latter one to give fet freedom to slot as it wishes

Do you have many constraints occupy min to add?

Many indeed since i'm working on twenty stream taking three sciences.I will add around 240 cosntraints🤯🤯🤯

Stream = students set?

Why not 20 x 3 = 60 constraints, only?

20 stream means form 1-4,we have 20 per stream meaning total is 80 and then i have 3 sciencea so 80*3=240

Hmm... I see

How i wish duration would assist in the constraint with timeslot such that if i say 2 duration,it will choose what fits either double lesson or the two singles.

If you have 1+1+1+1+1 and use 3 constraints subactivities preferred time slots, it is much better than using activities occupy min time slots from selection, in terms of generation speed.

However, for the above case (1+1+2 and you want two hours in the morning), even if we developed a new constraint, I think it would be the same as speed of generation as activities occupy min time slots from selection.

So, the only advantage of adding a new constraint would be user friendliness.

Hmm... I am so sorry that you need to add 240 (!) constraints.

Not a big deal now that i managed to handle the others with ease.I will definitely add one after the other
