Division of Classes

[Teck Hock]

Ya. Managed to do that.

I created a students A with HCL, EL 3A, MA 3A, SC 3B, GE 3A, HI 3B, LI 3A

Then what I do next for student B?

If I have student C with HCL, EL 3A, MA 3A, SC 3B, GE 3A, HI 3B, LI 3B, how do I add student B to HCL?

Thks for your patience and help.

Please add these 3 students from the interface (it is easy) and export as CSV and see how it appears in students.csv. As I told you, first is the year, then a group (HCL), then all the subgroups in this group. But better check with exporting to CSV and please attach your file here, as CSV, not as a screenshot, so I can have a look.

I have created 4 students:
Student A with HCL, EL 3A, MA 3A, SC 3A, GE 3A, HI 3A, LI 3A
Student B with HCL, EL 3A, MA 3A, SC 3A, GE 3A, HI 3A, LI 3B
Student C with HCL, EL 3A, MA 3A, SC 3A, GE 3A, HI 3B, LI 3A
Student D with HCL, EL 3A, MA 3A, SC 3A, GE 3A, HI 3B, LI 3B

Am I on the right track?

Seems correct. You can start a new file (different name) and import CSV students from this file. You can then check the subgroups dialog.

[Teck Hock]

So add to CSV is faster and then import?

Thks Liviu.

[Teck Hock]

Basically we divide students into 3 categories.

So I need to create a total of 456 students? (See Picture)

Thks Liviu.

It is the same to create a CSV and import it or to create a file from the interface. I believe you prefer from CSV, because you can automate and check easier.

I don't understand, sorry.

[Teck Hock]

Ha ha. Is ok Thanks Liviu

I will continue trying.

[Liviu Lalescu]

If two or more students (subgroups) have exactly the same categories, you can add only one of them.

[Teck Hock]

Just a curious question

How does tagging a students to all 7 groups will solve my issue?
Internally what does FET do during the generation?

Thks

[Liviu Lalescu]

Another interesting question, and I think I should make this topic sticky 

If "Student A" is in Groups "HCL", ..., "LI 3A", if you add say 10 activities, of which 5 are met in these groups (say HCL, MA 3A, SC 3A, HI 3A, and LI 3A), internally subgroup "Student A" will have 5 activities.

All activities go down from year and group to contained subgroups, and also constraints.

[Teck Hock]

Can I use the same students' name for another Year?
Or must use a different students' name?

[Liviu Lalescu]

Each name is unique. If you have a student "A" in year "1" and in year "2", the years are overlapping. Also, if you have a student "A" in group "G1" and in group "G2", the groups are overlapping and cannot have activities at the same time.

[Teck Hock]

When I do import of students via CSV, must the info be for all years and import only once?

Can I have multiple files for Y1, Y2, Y3 .... and import 1 and a time?

Reasons I ask is,
I might have finished with all classes.
Then realised that some classes I need to change the division.
Can I just import for that class that have changes?

Thks

[Liviu Lalescu]

Everything that you import is added over the old structure, if not already existing. Please try for yourself some examples, to make sure. Maybe the best is to remove that year and import that year again, over your file (but note that if you remove a year, you remove its activities and constraints - so you might want to import without deleting that year, but check for correctness after import).
