You can specify the exact times of a lunch break between morning and afternoon lessons for classes and teachers using the time grid

 

You have the following lunch break options:

 

 

In the time grid, enter 12:00 as the time when the last morning lesson should end and 13:00 as the time the first afternoon lesson should start. The software will treat the time between 12:00 and 13:00 as a lunch break (not as a period).

 

 

 

This last lunch break scheduling option allows for a better use of subject rooms. The option enables you to specify different lunch break durations for individual teachers and classes. Enter "1,2" in the box Lunch break Min,Max to instruct the software to schedule either 1 or 2 lunch break periods for the selected element

 

Based on the weighting, the lunch break will be scheduled during the last morning periods and/or the first afternoon periods.

 

On a timetable with        5 morning periods and 4 afternoon periods, a two-period lunch break will be scheduled either for

         periods 4 and 5,

         periods 5 and 6, or

         periods 6 and 7.

 

 

Vary the time during which a lunch break can be scheduled by specifying the first and the last period when a lunch break may be scheduled (on the „Breaks“ tab in the time grid ). The boundary between morning and afternoon lessons must lie within the specified time interval (see figure below).

 

 

 

If your school cafeteria has a limited capacity, use the same tab to enter the maximum number of classes that can have a lunch break at the same time (figure above).

 

Violations against specified lunch break times are displayed in the diagnosis window.
