How to set up long breaks
Last updated: Jun 25, 2025
Scenario: Our third break is the lunch break and it’s longer than the others
Suppose you have a schedule with five 50-minute periods and standard 10-minute breaks.
Your initial schedule might look like this:
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 08:00 - 08:50 | 09:00 - 09:50 | 10:00 - 10:50 | 11:00 - 11:50 | 12:00 - 12:50 |
If you want to add a 30-minute lunch break after the third period, simply adjust the start times for the fourth and fifth periods.
Here's how the updated schedule would look:
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 08:00 - 08:50 | 09:00 - 09:50 | 10:00 - 10:50 | 11:20 - 12:10 | 12:20 - 13:10 |
We'll then ensure these intervals are respected whenever your timetable is generated.
