Manage links between parts/groups
The existence of a link between two parts of a class indicates that these two parts cannot have classes at the same time: they have (or may have) students in common.
As a precaution, EDT creates a link between two parts from different partitions. Let's take the example of a class with two partitions FL2 and LATIN. A student taking Spanish can potentially also be a student taking Latin, so EDT can't take the risk of scheduling Spanish and Latin classes at the same time. To do this, it links each FL2 part with the LATIN part by default.
Remove a link between two parts of a class
If you know that two parts of a class will never have a common student (for example, because noone taking Spanish is taking Latin), you can manually remove the link between these two parts: EDT will then be able to place the corresponding classes at the same time, resulting in better timetables.
- Go to the display Timetable > Classes >
Links between parts. - Select one of the two parts from the list on the left.
- On the right, in the column Parts, double-click to remove the link corresponding to the other part.
Remove all unnecessary links
- Go to the display Timetable > Classes > Links between parts.
- In the menu Edit, choose Delete the optional links: EDT deletes all manual links that are not justified by the actual presence of students.
Remove a link on the fly from the timetable
- From a display
Timetable, double-click on the relevant course to activate diagnostic mode. - Move the green template over the conflicting course: the icon
appears on the course form, opposite the concerned part. - Right-click on the link and choose Delete the link.
If the parts have at least one student in common, the link is no longer optional and cannot be removed. If you wish to ignore this scheduling incompatibility for some students, you can add them to the wanted course as detached students (Detach a student from his/her class to add him/her to another course).
