Session Class

Note

BE ADVISED

It is recommended to consult with a member of the Silverband Support Team prior to using the Session Class field.

Warning

WARNING

Paradigm makes an important assumption that ALL sessions where the Session Class is not set are compulsory enrolments.

The Session Class is used to limit the sessions that a user may select when enrolling into sessions. The restrictions work in two layers:

  1. Selecting a Session Class will also select all other sessions that share the same Session Class value.

  2. When a Session Group AND a Session Class are both set, then the user must select one and only one session, from each group.

The use of Session Class simplifies the process of selecting a suitable, non-clashing set of sessions. It is especially useful when there is a need to define a pairing or set of sessions consisting of multiple Session Groups where you want to enforce predefined session enrolment combinations.

We recommend starting the Session Class value with the digit 1 increment it by 1 for each new Session Class.

Session Group

Note

BE ADVISED

It is recommended to consult with a member of the Silverband Support Team prior to using the Session Group field.

Info

NOTE

When the Session Class is set but the Session Group is blank, then Paradigm will assume that there is an implicit Session Group value of 1.

The Session Group is used when there are multiple Session Types associated with the same Scheduled Unit. Assigning a Session Group will visually group the sessions when viewed from within Paradigm. When used together with Session Class it is possible to prevent users from enrolling into more than one session from each defined Session Group. Examples of common session group types include lectures, tutorials and workshops.

We recommend starting the Session Group value with the digit 1 increment it by 1 for each new Session Group.
