For one of the time tables we are preparing, we have 5 subjects that we want to to be scheduled one for each day from Monday to Friday.

In NYC we have to be cautious of the UFT contract so it would be nice to be able to preference the solver to deal with certain errors before the other errors. The card conflicts and the the teacher gaps absolutely need to be dealt with before the same day subjects so we aren't in violation of the contract. The solver seems to do card conflicts and then same day subjects which is not helpful.

It will be awesome to add a calendar to the timetable, this is how i consider to be the best option.

When you define Days and Periods in the owl you should put a validity start date and end date.

The program could now generate a calendar for those dates which can be used to pin single events, define bank holidays where the school is closed or to see and publish the generated timetable in a calendar view.

This should not be a gigantic effort in terms of development but a massive improvement to the product.

Thank you

For example:
Mr. Smith's class has science three times per cycle. If Ms. Jones teaches Mr. Smith's science class on Day 1, I don't want her to teach them on Day 2 as well. I want at least one day in between. Please help! This is the ONLY function missing from this amazing site :)

When a card is selected the period time times should be shown at the bottom of the screen along with the other details of that card.

We have lessons running from the morning until the evening, but we don't want to schedule a class to start in the first period of the day and have them stay until the last period of the day.
I would like to have a maximum time set for each class between when their first lesson of the day starts, and their last lesson of the day ends.

For part-time teachers who can only teach one or two days per week, but are flexible on which weekdays they are available.

We have some teachers who need to be able to have all their lessons in the fewest days possible so they can reduce the time they spend traveling each week.

It would be great to be able to 'Freeze' the Column & Row labels to the left and top bars so that when you zoom in/out or scroll you can still see the headings

Would be great to be able to set a specific gap time (ex. 15 Min) between each lesson.

We need to be able to see the logs for any given timetable. We should be able to see the details of who created what, who modified it, when, etc. to avoid any confusion - especially when multiple people are working on a certain table. Could we start from here maybe? Because logging is a somewhat standard procedure, so hopefully it shouldn't be a problem to add that to the website. If such a feature is already available, I couldn't locate it. There is only the time of the last modification under the "Open Timetable" menu.

save 'view' settings: 3- classes, 67% zoom etc.

Add the ability to place individual lesson names (or comments) on lesson cards that will also print in different calendar views is selected.

However, these won't affect gaps in schedule

No more than __ periods of a subject per day (In other words - need 7 periods of Ela a week, but don't want more than 2 periods a day)

Currently in order to display the groups info in a card you need to add the class info. This results in cluttering the timetable when several classes have groups having a lesson at the same time. The intended behaviour however works fine when exporting as HTML Spreadsheet - it only displays the group and not all classes.
The same should happen when Printing the timetable direclty from the print option

When zooming in the master view you easily get lost when moving across the pane becasue you cannot see the first column as you move. You should immitate the freezing panes feature MS Excel has.

In some institutions teachers start working earlier for meeting purposes, those periods should not be displayed in the student view. You recommended me to eliminate those periods before printing and not saving the changes but these could lead to an chaos if unintentionally I press the save button.

Master view can be printed but includes all days, making it imposible to read, this could be resolved making a day by day view.

Enable each card to have room for free text, just a couple of words or numbers. This means it would be more customisable for all schools
