Codes

(H) Sched. a.m./p.m. not both

Schedule half days only. This function ensures that lessons cannot be scheduled in the morning AND in the afternoon of the same day.

(Y) Keep curr. loading pattern

Activate this option if you want to block the allocation of a teacher before the first and after the last periods already scheduled for the half-day. This means that a subsequent optimisation run ignores the teacher for the periods outside the given range. You will find an example of how to use this field correctly in chapter Master data properties / Classes .

(R) Not in 1st AND last period

You can use this code to avoid a teacher being scheduled in the first and last periods of a day (Scheduling | Weighting | Time Requests | Time requests for teachers).

Very important

The input block ‘Very important’ allows you to specify different timetabling priorities for each individual teacher.

No NTPs (A)

Activate this option to instruct the software to avoid scheduling NTPs for the teacher.

Lunch break (B)

Check this box if you want Untis to pay particular attention to lunch break compliance when creating the timetable.

Max. periods/day (C)

Activating this option ensures a high level of compliance with the specifications entered under 'Periods per day min,max'.

Max. consec. prds. (D)

Activating this option ensures a high level of compliance with the specifications entered under 'Max. consec. periods/half day'.

Note: Do not set for all teachers

Please set codes A-D for individual teachers. If great importance is attached e.g. to avoiding non-teaching periods for all teachers you can achieve this via weighting.
