Defining part-time specialist teachers using teacher availability

You can prevent the scheduling of specialist subjects on a part-time teacher's days' off by setting their availability.

In the following example, Susan Thomas does not work Monday or Friday. To achieve this, all cells in column D1 and D5 are set to N.
