Overview
After adding all your users, and resources, before adding new sessions or events, it’s best if you create time periods first. Creating time periods in Paradigm will help you organise the sessions or events view by time period.
BE ADVISED
Paradigm vs RAPLA Data Entry
Time Periods: The naming conventions of academic periods in RAPLA may be different to Paradigm as that information is not part of the data sync. However, having them the same would be significantly better for your end users to avoid confusion.
