Overview

After adding all your users , and resources, before adding new sessions or events, it’s best if you it is highly advisable or recommended to create time periods first. This way, you can better control scheduled units' sessions with recurring events. Time Periods set in Rapla should be the same or within the start and end dates coding in Paradigm. Creating time periods in Paradigm will also help you organise the sessions or events view by time period in Rapla.
