wTimetable - Scheduling: New 'Max one session per day' rule in Timetable Specifications
Modules > wTimetable > Scheduling > Actions > Timetable Specifications
A new Max one session per day rule has been added to the Blocks on days tab in Timetable Specifications, enabling users to enforce a daily scheduling limit for each block. Under this rule, a selected block period may be scheduled only once per calendar day.
After clicking Add New Row, complete the following fields to create the rule:
- Year Group
- Block
- Rule=Max one session per day
- Period Limit does not apply to this rule.
Note: If multiple blocks are included, each block is limited to one session per day and is scheduled independently of the others.
Visual Indicators
When a user attempts to manually schedule a block period that breaks the Max one session per day rule, teaching periods will be highlighted in amber to indicate a potential scheduling conflict, and an alert notification will appear in the top-right corner for the session you are attempting to schedule. However, the user can still proceed to manually schedule a session.
Note:
- A double session is treated as a single session. Therefore, scheduling a double session for a block on the same day does not breach the “Max one session per day” rule.
- Similarly, linked periods combined into one group are considered a single session. Scheduling one group of linked block periods on the same day does not breach the “Max one session per day” rule.
Conflicts
The Conflicts popup will display details of the Max one session per day conflict. By clicking on the Eye icon, the user will be directed to the Blocks on days tab in the Timetable specifications popup.
Auto Schedule
In Step 3 - Issues of the Auto Schedule process, users can review unscheduled sessions caused by Max one session per day rule, and take action on them without navigating away from the wizard.
Users will be presented with the following Reason and Suggested Action for Max one session per day rules:
- Reason: "Active rule 'Max one session per day' from 'Blocks on day' page."
- Suggested Action: "Delete the rule 'Max one session per day' from 'Blocks on days' for YG<the number from year group name> block <block name> "
