Properties Described In The Solver Screen
From UniTimeWiki
The first place to find information about the timetable is the Solver screen. The properties of the timetable you will review is in the Current Timetable section. (Scroll down from “Best Timetable Found So Far” to see this section.) The most important numbers are Assigned variables and Student conflicts.
- Assigned variables
The percentage indicates for how many classes the solver could find a time and room – for a timetable to be workable, this number should be 100%. The numbers in the parenthesis (e.g., 457/457) indicate for how many classes out of the total number of your loaded classes the solver found a time and room.
- Student conflicts
If the students from the last like-semester register for the same classes as they did last time, there will be this number of situations when a student wants to take two classes which are not possible to take together (e.g., most likely because they overlap in time). This should be an indication about the number of conflicts there could be between classes for this semester, especially if the curriculum is fairly strict about what the students should take during which semester. You will see more information about these conflicts in the Reports screen.
