Diagnosis of a course

The diagnosis mode allows to illustrate the free places for a course and to understand the reasons why the other places are not free.

View the possible places for a course

1. In all of the displays ,  and , double-click on a placed course to transfer to diagnosis mode or select a unplaced course from the display Timetable > Course > Timetable.
2. A green frame appears materializing the place of the course and EDT indicates the available and unavailable places in the grid.

 

	The place is possible: it is the place recommended by EDT in compliance with the values of the calculation criteria.
	The place where the course can begin: all the resources of the course are available. The course can begin in the large white slot.
	The place is possible, but there exists one or several constraints. To know which constraints, click on the button  in the form.
	If only half of the slot is shown, the information only works in fortnights.
	The place is not possible: another resource of the course has an unavailability or is already occupied. In this last case, you can coerce the placement, at least one other course will be de-positioned.
	The resource has an unavailability: if you decide to coerce the placement, first verify in the course form that there are no other constraints in this place.
	This half-day is a non-working day in the institution. You can coerce the placement in this place.
