Calendars and schedule patterns
In the section Management
Working days, holidays and the shape of the week are set once — everything else conforms to them.
An accurate training duration is not computed on a Gregorian calendar. It is computed on the days your centre actually teaches: the week you apply, the holidays you declare, and the particularities of a group or even of a single student.
Parcours hosts those rules rather than assuming them, and the whole of planning reads them.
Calendriers
Le catalogue des calendriers liste ceux de l'organisation avec, pour chacun, sa catégorie, le nombre d'années scolaires qu'il couvre, ses congés et le calendrier dont il hérite le cas échéant. Un centre garde son calendrier système et en dérive un par programme quand un rythme particulier l'exige — la dérivation évite de ressaisir les fériés partout. Ces calendriers servent de fondation à tout le calcul des horaires et des échéances : en centralisant jours travaillés et congés, Parcours garantit des plannings réalistes et des durées de formation exactes, sans recalcul manuel à chaque période.
What you set once
The calendar: working days and holidays
Each calendar declares the days teaching happens and the holidays that apply. Duplicate it to create next year's variant instead of keying everything in again.
The pattern: the shape of the week
The pattern describes how periods are cut — AM and PM on a five-day cycle, for instance. Calendar and pattern are two distinct things, and Parcours does not conflate them.
A chain, not a single setting
The program carries a template, a phase may carry its own, and a student's enrolment may carry one again. Resolution follows a clear precedence: enrolment, then planning, then phase.
A pattern freezes once it carries attendance
Changing the shape of a pattern already in use would invalidate attendance already taken. Parcours freezes it at the first entry: the past does not get rewritten under your feet.
The simple case stays simple
A delivery that needs only one calendar and one pattern is set through a "one schedule" view, without opening the full chain editor.
Centralising working days, holidays and the shape of the week makes training durations exact with no manual recomputation each period — and it is what lets the solver propose a realistic schedule rather than a theoretical one.
