Blocks

[Arch2019]

Hello, 
I just started to use your software last night but I must say I like that it is quite user friendly. I am having trouble though working out how to create a block. For example option choice Block A  with subjects physics, biology, art, geography taught at the same time and in the same block. I hope you can help me.

Thank you!

Hello and welcome to the forum!

I think you mean dividing students according to optional subjects (dividing a year according to categories). See the attached example file I made for you, with divided students and constraints same starting time.

Hello Liviu,

Thank you for your reply. I'm sorry but I couldn't open your document even within the FET software. I am trying to see how to create blocks of subjects.

Thank you!

Hello, @Arch2019 ,

I am sorry, but I don't understand. Just open FET and from it open my liviu.fet file.

Some more thinking about your blocks: if you have many categories, you might make it easier if you do not divide the students and add activities same starting time constraints, but just add in an activity all the teachers and all the students for that block, with a subject which looks like: PBAG or similar.

In my file, I created a year y1, divided by 2 categories (A, B, and Phy, Bio, Art, Geo). Then I added the activities and the same starting time constraints.

If you have many categories, it might be advisable to consider adding individual students in the students groups, or adding in an activity more students sets (like two paragraphs above).

Please let me know.
