PTA Scheduling

I was wondering if you can add a feature that gives a 15 minute empty window in every hour of PTA to leave room for a possible backup. For example, if PTA goes from 6:00 till 9:00, the last 15 minutes of every hour should be kept free. I did this in the past when manually scheduling PTA appointments, and it really helped alot in keeping the times accurate.

We added this option for the PTA schedule by staff option. Enter after how many slots to block. So lets say you have 5 Minutes slots per teacher and you want to block every hour you enter 12. Will add to PTA by Class option soon.

Please note the less slots available the longer it takes to create the schedule.

Thanks!! How many slots does it block? If lets say that I have 5 minute slots, does it only block 5 min? Is there a way to give an option to block 2 or 3 slots after every x amount of slots?

Only one slot. Its best to spread out the blocked slots instead of at one time.

Maybe you can also add the empty slot feature when you run the schedule by class
commented Dec 6, 2015 by Admin
Done. You can now add empty slots to both methods.

Thanks, I ran it by staff and it works.
commented Dec 12, 2016 by dpilchick
Can you please add feature to block more than one slot every x amount of appointments? It's very hard to have only one empty slot. it causes a ripple effect on other appointments if only one Rebbi gets delayed.

Added also to allow blocking multiple slots.
