-Fully automatic generation - algorithm, allowing also semi-automatic or manual allocation
-Platform independent - implementation, allowing running on GNU/Linux, Windows, Mac and any - system that Qt supports
-Flexible modular - XML format for the input file, allowing editing with an XML editor - or by hand (besides FET interface)
-Import/export from CSV format
-The resulted timetables - are exported into HTML, XML and CSV formats
-Flexible students - structure, organized into sets: years, groups and subgroups. FET allows - overlapping years and groups and non-overlapping subgroups. You can even - define individual students (as separate sets)
-Each constraint has a weight percentage, from 0.0% to 100.0% - (but some special constraints are allowed to have only 100% weight percentage)
-Limits for the algorithm (all these limits can be increased on demand, - as a custom version, because this would require a bit more memory):
+Maximum total number of hours (periods) per day: 60
Maximum number of working days per week: 35
Maximum total number of teachers: 6000
Maximum total number of sets of students: 30000
Maximum total number of subjects: 6000
Virtually unlimited number of activity tags
Maximum number of activities: 30000
Maximum number of rooms: 6000
Maximum number of buildings: 6000
Possibility of adding multiple teachers and students sets for each activity. - (it is possible also to have no teachers or no students sets for an activity)
Virtually unlimited number of time constraints
Virtually unlimited number of space constraints
A large and flexible - palette of time constraints:
-Break periods
-For teacher(s):
-- Not available periods -
- Max/min days per week -
- Max gaps per day/week -
- Max hours daily/continuously -
- Min hours daily -
- Max hours daily/continuously with an activity tag -
- Respect working in an hourly interval a max number of days per week -
For students (sets):
-- Not available periods -
- Begins early (specify max allowed beginnings at second hour) -
- Max gaps per day/week -
- Max hours daily/continuously -
- Min hours daily -
- Max hours daily/continuously with an activity tag -
- Respect working in an hourly interval a max number of days per week -
For an activity or a set of activities/subactivities:
-- A single preferred starting time -
- A set of preferred starting times -
- A set of preferred time slots -
- Min/max days between them -
- End(s) students day -
- Same starting time/day/hour -
- Occupy max time slots from selection - (a complex and flexible constraint, useful in many situations) -
- Consecutive, ordered, grouped (for 2 or 3 (sub)activities) -
- Not overlapping -
- Max simultaneous in selected time slots -
- Min gaps between a set of (sub)activities -
A large and flexible - palette of space constraints:
+Room not available periods
+For teacher(s):
+- Home room(s) -
- Max building changes per day/week -
- Min gaps between building changes -
For students (sets):
+- Home room(s) -
- Max building changes per day/week -
- Min gaps between building changes -
Preferred room(s):
+- For a subject -
- For an activity tag -
- For a subject and an activity tag -
- Individually for a (sub)activity -
For a set of activities:
+- Occupy a maximum number of different rooms -
