Manual placement

For optimal timetables, it is better to allow EDT to place a maximum number of courses and avoid manual placements. The manual placement is to be reserved for courses that have only one possible place (column No. Places in the list of course). The manipulation can nevertheless be useful for limited modification of the timetables generated by EDT.

Place a course manually

  1. Go to the tab Timetable > Course >  Timetable or  Schedule.
  2. Select the unplaced course in the list on the left: a green frame appears in the grid; it is the matrix of the course, which materializes its duration.
  3. Move the green frame to the wanted place in the grid. The free places are indicated in white (it is not necessary that the white stripes cover all the duration of the course; the moment that the top of the green frame has a white stripe, the place is possible). To find out more about the caption of the grid, go to diagnosis mode (Diagnosis of a course).
  4. Double-click inside the frame to confirm the placement.
  5. Lock the course in its place  to avoid it being moved during an automatic placement (Locking of the courses in the same place).
