Percentage planning |
|
After finishing your data entry, you should initially carry out a percentage planning run (e.g. at 30%) to identify lessons that the Untis software categorizes as "difficult". As a rule, the programme attempts to place such lessons as quickly as possible to prevent them from causing an obstruction later during the process.
Hint!
The "difficulty" of a lesson is determined by the number of unavailable lesson elements, the number of element couplings and the size of the lesson block.
Caution!
Specifying a planning priority for lessons (on the "Timetable" tab) has a profound effect on this aspect of the optimisation process. Do not use this option lightly and use it only when you have good reason to do so!
If Untis encounters problems during the scheduling of the very first 30% of periods and if this very first optimisation run is unable to schedule certain periods, the first thing to do is to increase the number of timetables to be constructed and the number of optimisation steps. If the tool is still unable to schedule the periods, you can assume that the input data contain input weaknesses or even errors.
