Assigned Classes
The list of assigned classes contains classes of the selected/loaded timetable together with their time and room assignments. The colors of the time and room assignments reflect the preference put on a given class for that given time or room (for example, a blue time means that the time was a required time for a given class, an orange room means that the room was strongly discouraged for a given class). The legend for this color coding is displayed at the bottom of the list.
The color of the class name indicates how easily the class can move.
- a class that can be moved to some other room without any conflict is marked as strongly preferred
- a class can be moved to some other room (with a conflict) and to some other time (with no conflict) is marked as preferred
- a class that can be moved to some other room (with a conflict) is marked as neutral
- a class that is fixed in a room, but can be moved to some other time (without any conflict) is marked as discouraged
- a class that is fixed in a room, but can be moved to some other time (with a conflict) is marked as strongly discouraged
- a class that is fixed in time and room is marked as required
The color coding is very similar but computed slightly differently for a class that is not assigned (based on whether it can be assigned to one or more times and one or more rooms).
The columns displayed in the table are described in the Class Assignment Properties help page. You can sort by any of the columns by clicking on the appropriate column heading.
Click on any class to get to the Suggestions screen for that class - you can make changes to the time and/or room assignment in that screen.
