Subjects that are considered particularly strenuous or important for students can be marked with the main subject code. This allows the optimisation tool to observe the following restrictions:
| • | Maximum number of main subjects that may be scheduled for a class per day |
| • | Maximum number of main subjects that may be scheduled in sequence for a class |
| • | Maximum number of main subjects that may be scheduled to take place after a defined boundary period. |
To ensure the correct treatment of main subjects during optimisation, enter the following details:
Under "Weighting | Main subjects"
| • | Respect max. number of main subjects per day for classes |
| • | Respect max. number of consecutive main subjects for classes |
| • | Boundary period |
| • | Main subjects max. once after boundary period |
| • | Main subject at least once up to boundary period |
Please see a detailed description of the boundary period function under " Optimisation - Weighting parameters ".
