Schedule mode: weekday/rest-day vs by weekday

Compare Weekday & rest-day (two templates, stable routines) with By weekday (one set per day, good for extracurriculars and weekend differences), plus whether switching loses config and how to bulk-generate.

By weekdayFamilies whose schedule differs per day (extracurriculars, half-day Wednesday, split weekends)7 days × 3 day typesOne set per day from Mon to Sun, each further split into regular / holiday / make-up

Does switching lose my config?

No. The two configurations coexist independently; switching shows a confirmation dialog, and switching back keeps the original settings. The row for today is selected by default so you can edit the current day right away.

Bulk generate: sync the two modes

  • Generate from workday/rest-day: overwrite Mon–Fri with the workday template and Sat/Sun with the rest-day template.
  • Generate from weekday: overwrite the workday template with Monday's rules and the rest-day template with Saturday's rules.
