Lesson status

The status tracks where a lesson stands in planning: planned, draft, canceled or done. Draft and canceled are ignored by automatic generation; done feeds dashboards and billing and exists only in calendar mode. Attribute available on Premium accounts.

On Premium accounts, the Status indicates where a lesson stands in the planning cycle. You set it lesson by lesson — from the Status icon — or in bulk from the listing mode. Four values:

• Planned — Default status for scheduled lessons. This is the state of an ordinary lesson, placed on the grid.
• Draft — a lesson in preparation, ignored by automatic generation and by the dashboards. Handy for preparing a lesson without yet imposing it on the timetable or on the solver.
• Canceled — the lesson remains displayed as canceled (kept for the record) but is likewise ignored by automatic generation and by the dashboards.
• Done — the lesson is marked as done, which includes it with that detail in the teachers' dashboard, for billing.

Display

When shown on the planning grid, these lessons are recognizable by their rendering:

• a Draft lesson carries a dashed orange border and stays slightly faded;
• a Canceled lesson is struck through and heavily faded — it becomes readable again on hover, which lets you keep it for the record without cluttering the grid.

Effect on generation

Draft and Canceled lessons are set aside by the solver: it does not place them, and they carry no weight in conflicts (classroom occupancy, teacher collisions, capacities). Planned lessons remain the real lessons that generation positions.

"Done": only in calendar mode

The Done status is only offered on calendar-type timetables: that is where, on dated lessons, marking a lesson as actually delivered makes sense. It then feeds the tracking of the hours teachers actually taught (teachers' dashboard) and their billing. On a weekly or cyclic timetable, this status does not appear.
