FineTime provides limited support for scheduling auxiliary teachers for lessons which require that the main teacher be assisted by one or more additional teachers.
To schedule an auxiliary teacher for a lesson which has already been scheduled, change to the Teachers view, and proceed as follows. Click on the slot corresponding to the row for the teacher who is to be the new auxiliary and the time of the lesson in question. A dialog box appears with a list of the main teachers scheduled for that time. Now choose which main teacher is to be assisted by the new auxiliary teacher, and click OK.
Lessons in which a teacher is an auxiliary are represented as a card with light cross-hatching in the Teachers view. The appearance of such lessons in the Group and Venue views is unchanged; only the main teacher for the lesson is shown. Cross-hatched cards representing auxiliary teachers cannot be dragged with the mouse, but will "follow" the card for the corresponding main teachers if that card is moved.
To remove an auxiliary teacher, simply click on the appropriate card in the Teachers view. Note that auxiliary teachers are automatically removed if the lesson card for the main teacher is moved to the reservoir. Note also that auxiliary teachers can only be assigned manually - the automatic timetable solver cannot (yet) assign them.
FineTime does not consider a teacher's specialist subjects to be relevant when that teacher is working in an auxiliary capacity. The additional workload is, however, taken into account when FineTime must determine if a teacher is available for scheduling.
