teacher can have one group or the other

[math_user]

Is it correct that there is currently no possibility to assign either teacher A to an activity or teacher B (and A for the other activity)?

Example:
same subject for group of students 3a and group 3b
teacher A could teach 3a and teacher B could teach 3b
or
teacher B could teach 3a and teacher A could teach 3b

Any possibility to let FET decide which solution gives better timetables?
Or just change it manually and check if there are better timetables for one solution?

Unfortunately, the official version does not allow FET choosing the teachers for an activity.

The custom mapr version (more activities per room) might accept this. But it is a difficult to work with custom version. You need to consider a FET room = a real teacher and allocate activities to rooms.

in normal case this is a padagogic question, not a "better timetable" one. Also it is very difficult to say which one is better. If FET choose itself, then there are of course more solution, but also much more combinations to check. So such a "feature" doesn't mean it will be esier to generate a timetable. it migth take much more time to generate.
So in my opinion you should choose pedagogical. (Does the teacher already know the students? Create good teacher teams in the class. Give a teacher sometimes "easy" students/activities. ... (There are so many reasons why a teacher should get it or not))

Thanks for your replies!

@ Volker:
I would have used it if the two alternatives were equivalent (teachers do not yet know the students, and so on).
But I can just do that manually and see if one solution gives better results or if this is not the case.
