Lesson distribution across the week

You can manage how lessons are spread across the week using individual settings or school-wide rules.

Set rules for individual lessons

Go to the Constraints section of any lesson to define these rules:

Field	Description
Min. days/week	The minimum number of days this lesson must be scheduled each week.
Max. days/week	The maximum number of days this lesson can be scheduled.
Max. lessons/day	The maximum number of times this lesson can happen in a single day.

If you leave these blank, we'll apply the global school defaults.

Set school-wide rules

In Timetable constraints, you can turn on global rules to manage how lessons are distributed by default:

• Appropriate number of days for lesson distribution: This automatically spreads lessons out based on how often they occur (for example, lessons that meet 4 or more times a week will be spread over at least 3 days).
• Uniform distribution of lessons across days: This keeps the schedule balanced by spreading lessons as evenly as possible across the week.
• No 3 identical lessons in the same day: This ensures the same lesson doesn't happen more than twice in one day.

Which rules take priority?

Individual lesson settings always take priority over global rules. Use specific settings whenever a lesson needs its own unique distribution.
