• Fully automatic generation algorithm, allowing also semi-automatic or manual allocation

• Platform independent implementation, allowing running on GNU/Linux, Windows, Mac and any system that Qt supports

• Flexible modular XML format for the input file, allowing editing with an XML editor or by hand (besides FET interface)

• Import/export from CSV format

• The resulted timetables are exported into HTML, XML and CSV formats

• Flexible students structure, organized into sets: years, groups and subgroups. FET allows overlapping years and groups and non-overlapping subgroups. You can even define individual students (as separate sets)

• Each constraint has a weight percentage, from 0.0% to 100.0% (but some special constraints are allowed to have only 100% weight percentage)

• Limits for the algorithm:

  • Maximum number of working days per week: 1000

  • Maximum number of hours per day: 1440

  • Virtually unlimited number of teachers

  • Maximum number of subgroups of students: 30000

  • Virtually unlimited number of subjects

  • Virtually unlimited number of activity tags

  • Maximum number of activities: 500,000

  • Maximum number of rooms: 30,000

  • Maximum number of buildings: 30,000

  • Possibility of adding multiple teachers and students sets for each activity. (it is possible also to have no teachers or no students sets for an activity)

  • Virtually unlimited number of time constraints

  • Virtually unlimited number of space constraints

• A large and flexible palette of time constraints:

  • Break periods

  • For teacher(s):

    • Not available periods

    • Max/min days per week

    • Max gaps per day/week

    • Max hours daily/continuously

    • Max span per day

    • Min hours daily

    • Max hours daily/continuously with an activity tag

    • Min hours daily with an activity tag

    • Min gaps between an ordered pair of activity tags

    • Respect working in an hourly interval a max number of days per week

    • Min resting hours

  • For students (sets):

    • Not available periods

    • Max days per week

    • Begins early (specify max allowed beginnings at second hour)

    • Max gaps per day/week

    • Max hours daily/continuously

    • Max span per day

    • Min hours daily

    • Max hours daily/continuously with an activity tag

    • Min hours daily with an activity tag

    • Min gaps between an ordered pair of activity tags

    • Respect working in an hourly interval a max number of days per week

    • Min resting hours

  • For an activity or a set of activities/subactivities:

    • A single preferred starting time

    • A set of preferred starting times

    • A set of preferred time slots

    • Min/max days between them

    • End(s) students day

    • Same starting time/day/hour

    • Occupy max/min time slots from selection (two complex and flexible constraints, useful in many situations)

    • Consecutive, ordered (and ordered if same day), grouped (for 2 or 3 (sub)activities)

    • Not overlapping (also for activity tags)

    • Max/min simultaneous in selected time slots

    • Min gaps between a set of (sub)activities

• A large and flexible palette of space constraints:

  • Room not available periods

  • For teacher(s):

    • Home room(s)

    • Max room/building changes per day/week

    • Min gaps between room/building changes

  • For students (sets):

    • Home room(s)

    • Max room/building changes per day/week

    • Min gaps between room/building changes

  • Preferred room(s):

    • For a subject

    • For an activity tag

    • For a subject and an activity tag

    • Individually for a (sub)activity

  • For a set of activities:

    • Have the same room if they are consecutive

    • Occupy a maximum number of different rooms
