Half-board

To ensure a lunch break for all, you manually specify the slots corresponding to the lunch break or activate an automatic management of the cafeteria.

If everyone has an identical lunch break or at different times that you want to define yourself, enter unavailability for the lunch break in the tab Timetable > Teachers/Classes/Staff >Unavailability, wishes and constraints (Unavailability).

If the management of the half-board is activated, some classes can have a course while others have lunch, and all are ensured to have enough time for lunch.
