Summary

FET is free timetable-scheduling software for schools, high schools and universities. It can allocate activities automatically, semi-automatically or manually, with time and space constraints covering teacher and student availability, preferred times and rooms, gaps, working hours, and room or building changes. FET accepts flexible XML input and imports CSV; completed timetables can be exported as HTML, XML or CSV. The maker states algorithm limits of 500,000 activities, 30,000 student subgroups, 30,000 rooms and 30,000 buildings. It runs on Linux, macOS and Windows and is licensed under the GNU Affero General Public License version 3. The maker provides documentation and a user forum, and lists third-party tools to convert FET XML results to Microsoft Excel or import compatible timetables into RosarioSIS. It also says it may help institutions create a custom variant for changes that are not too difficult, or advise on implementation. The stated generation time varies with complexity: simpler schedules can take under five minutes, while extremely difficult ones may take hours.

Who it is for

FET suits schools and universities that need to generate schedules while accounting for staff, student, room and time constraints. Its manual and semi-automatic modes may also suit users who want to intervene in allocation.

What is good

  • Free software under the GNU AGPL version 3
  • Automatic, semi-automatic and manual allocation
  • Imports CSV and flexible XML
  • Exports HTML, XML and CSV

What to know first

  • Very difficult schedules may take hours

Verdict

FET offers broad scheduling controls and several import and export formats at no stated cost. Users should account for the maker's note that generation time can vary substantially with timetable complexity.
