To set miscellaneous settings select Settings | Miscellaneous from the menu.

Window Miscellaneous has 4 tabs:

You can select Saturdays and Sundays to be shown in the main workspace. If Saturdays and Sundays are not selected, you have to move right with the timeline bar to see them.

If you select sort groups alphabetically, groups in view by groups are sorted in the alphabetical order. Otherwise they are shown in the order in which you inserted them in the application.

Select which data will be shown on the basic screen in the workspace. You can choose between: none, groups, comments or groups + comments.

Set a log format for the date (Legend: dd - day, mm - month, yyyy - year).

Set a short format for the date (Legend: d - day, m - month).

Determine whether dates are separated with a full stop (.) or with a slash (/).

Write the percentage (%) before the day or month or year (see picture above).

You can set color codes according to your own preferences. Select the color and choose a new one.

Choose whether only the lecturer's last name or the full name will be shown.

Define whether you want to print dates or not. If the schedules do not change during the entire semester, you will probably not print the dates. If the schedules change during the semester, you will probably want to print the dates.

When printing by groups you can also print the program name, subject area name, year, header and legend.

You can choose Expand rows if necessary. This function expands the schedules as much as needed for the entire text  to be shown.

Insert the sign which separates values in a CSV file (full stop (.) or comma (,)) in the CSV Separator field.

Check "Groups - show also room" to also show rooms for groups in the timetable.

Check "Rooms - show also course" to also show courses for rooms in the timetable.

Choose between CSV and PDF format. In a PDF format, you can choose between the schedule being ordered by day of the week or by day.

Define primary hours. The automatic generation will try to schedule all courses within those hours.

Define secondary hours. The automatic generation will schedule courses within those hours if it could not schedule them within primary hours. Therefore, secondary hours have to include primary hours.

You can set the maximum hours per day for lecturers and groups. The automatic generation will not exceed the defined hours when scheduling courses. Therefore, attention should be paid to maximum hours for lecturers and groups per week.

You can set maximum travels per day for lecturers and groups.

If courses take place at different locations, you have to select the criteria according to which you want to adapt generation (lecturer, program or group). You have to select the location accordingly when entering lecturers, programs or groups.
