Session Times Calendar

The session date and time selected previously are displayed at the top of the pop-up window.

Dates where the session has already been scheduled will have the day shown in blue (not shown above), days where the session cannot be scheduled (for example, because the days are outside of the session range) are shown grey, and eligible days are shown in white (as shown above).  

4.      To schedule a session, click on any eligible day.

The pop-up window is re-displayed with additional information

Note: To book a managed room, you need to assign resources. This is explained below.

The Region and Location drop-down lists will be pre-selected. You may change them if desired.

5.      Use the Region drop-down list to change the region where the session will take place.

6.      Use the Location drop-down list to change the location where the session will take place.

7.      In the Unmanaged Room field, specify the room number or name associated with the course.

8.      Use the Start Time drop-down lists to specify the time when the session will start.

9.      Use the End Time drop-down lists to specify the time when the session will end.

Note: The End Date value must be later than the Start Time value. Additionally, resources can be booked for only one day, where 12:00 am is considered the start of a new day.

10.  Use the Advanced Options drop-down list to specify if the session time will be used for this week only, weekly, or bi-weekly.

This allows you to define an entire timetable in just a few mouse clicks.

11.  Check the boxes of those days of the week when the session will take place.

12.  Click Submit.

The session date and time will be displayed at the bottom of the pop-up window, beneath the Schedule heading.
