Frequently Asked Questions
Q. How do I prevent chatty students from sitting next to each other?
Open the "Rules & Logic" side tab, select both students under the "Keep Apart" dropdowns, and click "+". The simulated annealing algorithm will guarantee they are never adjacent.
Q. Can I keep certain students in fixed seats while randomizing everyone else?
Yes! Simply click on any seat to lock it, or use the lock toggle on the seat card. Locked students stay in place while all other seats randomize.
