Adding a one-off session

A one-off session belongs to no group: a workshop, a test, an extra class. The app calls it a standalone session. Owners and anyone whose role can manage Groups can create one.

Before you start

• A room, unless the session is online: see Branches.

Change or remove it

A one-off session is a row of its own in Groups List, marked Session. The buttons at the end of its row:

• End Session ends a session that is still to come or under way.
• Edit opens the same form, while the session has not ended.
• Delete removes it, after Delete Session asks you to confirm.

If something goes wrong

• Room is required for on-site sessions
  Choose a room, or tick Online.

• … is already booked for … on … from … to ….
  Another session has the room at that time. Choose another time or room.

• end_time must be after start_time
  The end time is not after the start time.

What happens next

• The session is in Groups List as a Session, and on Schedule.
• A one-off session belongs to no group, so it has no students and no register.
