Break (recess)

Specifying the breaks is useful if you use the automatic placement and you do not want some courses to overlap these breaks.

Specify the breaks

  1. Go to the menu Parameters > general parameters > Breaks/Inter-class.
  2. Tick Activate the first break.
  3. Select the time of the break in the drop-down menu or click-drag the yellow line in the grid.
  4. Repeat the manipulation if you have several breaks.

Indicate the courses that must comply with the break

  1. Go to the tab Schedules > Courses >  List.
  2. Select the concerned courses, right-click and choose Modify > Compliance with the breaks > Comply with the breaks.

See when the placement of a course does not comply with the break 

  1. From the display  Timetable, select the course and click on it to transfer to diagnosis mode (Diagnosis of a course).
  2. Displace the green frame to the slot of your choice. If the course encroaches on a break, it is indicated by the symbol  in the course form.
