Time request can be defined for subjects, rooms, teachers or classes by clicking
"Time Request" on adequate list page. For instance, to open time request dialog
for particular subject:
- Choose Main > Setup > Subjects.
- Select subject on the list.
- Click Time Request.
Time request defines when lesson is allowed (green color), forbidden (red color),
unwanted (yellow color) or mandatory (blue color) for selected subject, room,
teacher or class.
Additionally, "allowed number of unwanted lessons" and "allowed number of missed
mandatory lessons" per week and per day can be defined. Default value is arbitrary.
Adding too many constraints might make generating school timetable impossible. Recommended
approach is to generate timetable without additional constraints first, and then try
to fulfill other timetable requirements.
