You can specify the following settings on the 'Timetable' tab:
Double periods Min. Max.
Entering double periods and blocks was already dealt with in chapter Double period - block .
Periods in this subject room
If a subject room is defined for a lesson, the optimisation routine will attempt to schedule all periods of the lesson in this room. This is sometimes not desired when there is a shortage of rooms or when rooms are overbooked. If for example only two of three physics lessons are to be held in the physics lab, then enter a '2' here. As a rule, no entry is required in this field.
Scheduling priority
When you launch optimisation, Untis will first calculate the level of difficulty for all lesson periods. A lesson is all the more difficult to place if there are a lot of elements involved in it and if there are restrictive time requests specified for the elements.
The algorithm that Untis uses to place a lesson starts with the most difficult periods first. You have the chance to influence the scheduling sequence by setting a scheduling priority. The smaller the number entered for the priority (1-9) the earlier the lesson will be placed and the greater the likelihood of finding a 'good' position.
If this field is left empty, a default priority of 5 will be assumed; values of 1-4 increase priority while values of 6-9 decrease it. Lessons with a scheduling priority of 9 will be processed last while those with a priority of 1 will be treated first.
Warning:
An entry in this field can have a drastic influence on the way optimisation works. As a general rule, it can have a negative impact on the overall result, which is why it should only be used for good reason and with due consideration.
Teacher optimisation code
With the teacher optimisation code, the Lesson planning module offers the possibility of influencing Teacher assignment during optimisation. You will find details in chapter Teacher optimisation under Optimisation .
Unscheduled periods
This value indicates how many periods of the current lesson have not yet been scheduled in the timetable.
Time range
The Multi-week timetable module allows you to set time restrictions for lessons.
Subject sequence - Classes/Subject Sequence - Teachers
As with master data, there is also the field subject sequence for lessons. Permitted entries are 1 - 9 for a positive subject sequence and A - E for a negative subject sequence. Please also see chapter Subject sequence in the User tips section.
Class Clash Code (Class Clash Code, CCC)
This code allows Untis to schedule two lessons at the same time even when the same class is involved in both lessons. Enter values 1 - 9 where a conflict is permissible between lessons with the same CCC, and A - H where a conflict is permissible between lessons with different non-numeric CCCs. Please also see chapter Subject sequence in the User tipssection.
