4. Can we import data from the Mimoza program into the aSc Timetables program
5. Is it possible to enter classrooms if the timetable is already made without classrooms

7. There is a two hours long (double) math lesson, and we do not want it to happen on Friday. How to do it?
8. We would like that some subjects take place one after the other in the parallel classes. For example, the first lesson in class 9A is physics, while at the same time class 9B has chemistry, and then the second lesson for 9A is chemistry and for 9B – physics. It is convenient if we need to make two hours long tests or exams – then we do not need to change the timetable
9. How to make the lessons of certain discipline is always last, for example, if this discipline is optional, and after this lesson there should be no more basic lessons on that day
10. How to make the program first check whether a certain classroom is free, and assign lesson to this classroom. If it is busy, then program should select other classroom from the list of other possible classrooms.
11. How to do that some lessons with a 2-week cycle always take place at the same time (for example one week Physics laboratory, second week – Chemistry laboratory)
12. How to make lessons of some subject occur in the same day in the parallel classes
13. Teachers could switch between different buildings only once a day, at one of the lessons (for example, only during 5th lesson, or lunch break)
14. Program constantly puts lesson of history as the first lesson for class 8A. How to avoid such situation?
15. How to enter the window before the lesson: for example, a Physical Education lesson takes place in a stadium that is far from the main building and it takes time to get there
16. How to make some lessons taught by part-time teachers on the same day for parallel classes. For example, the lessons of Music for all classes of 8th grade should be on the same day.
17. How to make lessons of some subjects to take place on different days. For example, an English teacher teaches 7th and 8th grades. It is necessary that one day the lessons were for 7th grade only (i.e. classes 7A, 7B, 7C, etc.), and lessons for 8th grade – on the other day.
18. How to determine that a lesson of a particular subject could only take place on a particular day. For example: Chemistry for 8th and 9th grades only on Wednesday.

20. It is necessary that the swimming lessons do not take place simultaneously for 7th and 8th grades
21. How to make that one class does not outrun other class by some subject lessons
22. Can we set that double lessons can start only on odd lessons (e.g. two hours long Mathematics can start only on 1st, 3rd or 5th lesson)
23. Lessons of Mathematics can be only before lessons of Physical Education
24. Can lessons of Physical Education in the sports hall and stadium take place on different days
25. Is it possible to make that lessons of some subjects for parallel classes were on the same day

30. How to make that lessons of geometry and algebra, or physical education and music were not on the same day
31. It is necessary that teacher always has the first lesson on Mondays
32. Is it possible automatically create a window for a teacher after a certain lesson
33. Every Monday, teachers’ meeting takes place
34. How to make that lessons of music happen only on Fridays, the second half of the day
36. How to indicate that elective (not obligatory) subjects should be at the beginning or end of a day, and that compulsory lessons should have a strictly defined number per day
