Key terms and concepts
Folder | Description |
|---|---|
Users | Refer to how to create Manage User Accounts this article |
Event Type | You can create new event, e.g. (sessions, tutorials, lectures can integrate to Paradigm) |
Periods | Refer to below workflow in how to add time periods on Rapla |
Categories | Contact Silverband if you require customisation and set up |
Implications
1. Do not change appointments under events for dates where attendance has already been recorded;
2. Do not change Session Seq ID nor Session Group number. If you change the Session Seq ID (aka Session Class) and Session Group number for an event after you have begun enrolling students into specific sessions then you are likely to lose the session enrolments when you re-sync with Paradigm.
