How to restrict Groups overlapping

[Volker Dirr]

There are vertical and horizontal timetables.
sadly it is not always possible to span 2 or more cells into a single one. I can do that easily with activities of the timetable you are checking. But is impossible and/or very difficult to do that with related activities. you might need to check the years, groups and subgroups tables. span always work in the subgroup tables, but not always in the others.

Hi Volker - seems like I was not able to define my requirement.
I have attached a time table screenshot (with time slot circled in Red).

IS it possible to show multiple activities (within a single timeslot) in a row instead of column.
This will help in showing a single activity spanning over 2 time slot in a continuation and will help in better understanding.

looking for your reply

if you talk about spanning 15:20 to 17:20:
You are currently viewing a year or group table. if you check the subgroup table of "mba cpm g1", then you will see that there is a span at hours 15:20 to 17:20.
like i said: it is very difficult to detect (in you case) and in many cases even impossible. because there are a lot of data with different durations. Example: it is impossible if "mba cpm g1" have from 15:20-17:20 but "mba cpm g2" have only from 15:20-16:20. I can't paint that with a (html) table.

If you talk about activities (within a single timeslot) in a row instead of column:
There will be a big problem with that: The timetable will be much larger (from left to right). I guess your table will be 2 times expanded from left to right. It won't fit an a single page anymore. So you always need to scroll a lot  (if you view on a screen) and you can't print it an a paper because it will be to wide.

I just see that spanning (my first answer) is impossible with your dataset, because the activities of group "mba cpm g2" are in different rooms (first cl, then 403). That was i said it is very complicated to detect and impossible in many cases.

Hi Liviu,

Referring to your reply (07th March) - where in you helped me by creating 3 constrains to keep lecture in first slot (9:15 ~ 10:15).
can you help me understanding the logic (as in how this constrain works)

because lecture duration is 2 hours (each day to start with lecture) - there are 5 slots (Monday to Friday) - but max occupied - 4

waiting for your reply

Thanks
Bharat
