when populating the Session Class or Session Group fields. |

Be AdvisedCarefully consider the following definitions to determine if your institution requires the use of the session group and class fields. If these features are not required then it is appropriate to leave the field(s) in blank. |
Session Class (or session sequence ID)
| Warning |
|---|
WarningParadigm makes an important assumption that ALL sessions where the Session Class is not set are compulsory enrolments. |
The Session Class is used to limit what a user may select when enrolling into sessions. The restrictions work in two layers
Selecting a Session Class will also select all other sessions that share the same Session Class value
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
| Info |
|---|
NoteWhen the Session Class is set but the Session Group is blank, then the Paradigm will assume 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 and workshops.
We recommend starting the Session Group value with the digit 1 increment it by 1 for each new Session Group.
