Display Teachers’ Unavailable Time Slots in the Space Constraints Dialog

[YOUSSEF HOUIET]

Hi my friend

When assigning rooms to teachers, we need to see the teachers' unavailable time slots to avoid conflicts, especially when assigning the same room to two or more teachers.

If possible, could the teachers' unavailable time slots be displayed in the Space Constraints dialog, as shown in the attached image?

Hello, my friend Youssef!

It is possible, but you need to see the availability of the teacher also when you add the constraint, in my opinion. I am not sure of the best way to do this.

Hmm... but, also a problem is that the human-readable export HTML data will show the not available period of each teacher in a constraint of this type, which is not correct.

Thank you for your quick response.

Actually, what we would like is to check the teacher's availability when monitoring the preferred rooms constraints for a teacher—that is, when clicking on the constraints associated with the same room.

Regarding the HTML human-readable export, would it be possible to simply exclude this part of the constraint from the export?

[Liviu Lalescu]

I understand. Indeed, it is easy to display the teacher not available information just in the dialogs of type teacher home room(s).

But I am not content with showing the teacher's availability here - it is a different information, belonging to other section.

Let me think about it!

Would it be possible to make this feature optional, with an option to enable or disable it in the Settings, similar to the existing option for enabling/disabling the display of warnings?

[Liviu Lalescu]

Yes, it's an idea.

Maybe like this: an option, on/off (default off, I prefer, but I am not sure), "Show teacher's availability in constraints". All "teacher" constraints.

This should include also the teacher's mornings/afternoons behavior.

I made it, enabled always, for teacher home room(s).
