I went through the user guide and FAQ sections but couldn't see how to set different start and end times for each day or differing duration times. I went into Data->Basic->Days and hours->Hours(periods per day)

Some grades start at 07:45, have some 45 minute sections and some 30 minute ones and work until 15:15, others start at 08:15 and work until 14:45. Some work mainly in periods of 45 minutes and 30 minutes whereas others work around one hour periods and 30 minute periods. I couldn't work out how to set this up.

In FET it is a table of 1 FET hour time slots.

You could define a FET hour = 15 real minutes. Then consider that each activity has a duration of 1 or more FET hours. An activity of 45 minutes will have FET duration = 3 FET hours.

Thank you. I had considered that, but based on the interface I thought that it might not work. I will try that out!

I hope it will work, if you know the exact duration of each activity. Also, you need to add some constraints students set not available.
