You can import students seminar picks, number of seminar lessons per week, and assign student to a certain seminar group from program MS Excel. Just select your Excel data and copy to the clipboard. Data for import must be exactly in this format.

Note: Here numbers 2, 1, 4 in cells mean number of lessons of corresponding subject per week.

Section number, e.g. for Teacher 1 means that there will be 3 sections (groups) of students who will attend Teacher 1 lessons. You decide number of sections beforehand, based on number of students who signed up for Teacher 1 chemistry lessons.

Then select “Import, Import from Clipboard” in Students window. Do not forget to choose that you are importing lessons:

Program will ask to confirm teachers and sections to be added into the database.

Result:

Subjects’ background pink color means that students are not yet assigned to seminar groups.

Then press button “Assign students to seminars”:

Subjects’ background color will change to blue. It means that teachers now are assigned.

For example, for class 3A such seminar lessons will be created.

Note: In aSc Timetables Standard version it is necessary to assign students to seminar groups manually or by pressing button “Assign students to seminars”. Then this choice is fixed and students will not be changed between seminar groups during generation of the timetable.

In aSc Timetables Pro version program can move students between seminar groups thus making better timetable with less windows for students.

Recommendations:
Before generation of the timetable with seminar lessons (individual students picks), in Advanced card relationships set “Number of max gaps per day(#4)” to 2-4 and select “Apply to students in selected classes”.

In class Advanced constraints window set Education block to “Discontinuous – ignore windows in the timetable of the class”.
