Implications

Warning

Old scheduled units should NOT be updated and reused again as this will alter the dates for students previously enrolled into the unit. A new schedule or a reschedule needs to be created each time the unit is run.

Always ensure that dates are entered correctly as incorrect information can have a flow-on effect for reporting periods. The census date must always fall between the start and end date of the scheduled unit and the date must be NO LESS than 20% of the way through the entire delivery period of the scheduled unit.

Note

Bulk selecting scheduled units by using the Add Selected Units To List button, is only to be used in conjunction with the menu item that is labelled Bulk Edit Scheduled Fee. Do not use the Add Selected Units To List button when trying to reschedule units.

Workflow

1, 2, 3 Choose the Units > Scheduled Unit Details > Reschedule Units options from the menu

4, 5, 6, 7 Enter any combination of Unit Code, Unit Name, Unit Provider, Start Date, End Date (Paradigm requires at least one search criteria), and click on the Search Scheduled Unit button.

This will return a list of units that meet the searched criteria.

To filter the returned options if necessary, start typing the name of the unit into the search box. The list of returned results will reduce to match the criteria.

8 Select the Tick boxes next to all of the Units to be rescheduled.

Note: In the next step, within the Scheduled Unit Details section, any of the fields where you enter a value, will be applied to every new scheduled unit that has been selected for rescheduling. Please ensure that you enter a value for only the fields that are to have identical values across all your selected units.

9, 10, 11 Enter the required information to the fields ensuring the minimum field requirements (Start Date, End Date and HEIMS Census Date, and Status is set to Active).

Additional information is recommended, however these fields are required to create a viable and functioning Scheduled Unit record. Each of the selected scheduled unit records will be copied, and the fields that you change within the Scheduled Unit Details section will overwrite the contents of those fields in the newly created scheduled units, while leaving those fields unchanged in the original scheduled units' fields.

12 Click on the Reschedule Selected Units button. Each of the scheduled units whose record was ticked, will now have a new scheduled unit record with the details as they appear on in the Edit Scheduled Unit Details section.
