How to Access Advanced Scheduling (the Activity Scheduler page)

While Admins have an Advanced Scheduling link in the Edit Activity pop-up by default, access for users of other privileges may vary. 
Find out about the various ways your users can access the Activity Scheduler on this page

Privileges

SRP (Scheduling and Resource Planner)

Users with this privilege can:

  • access, edit or delete events that are independent of (not assigned to) any Activity
  • schedule events in the Calendar module, and assign the events to a running Activity that was shared with them.

    By assigning an event to a running Activity, the user automatically gains access to the Advanced Scheduling option of the Activity.

  • print or send calendar views (Daily/ Weekly/ Monthly) in email

Important

SRP users can only create events for Activities that have been shared with them for reading and writing.
Also, events scheduled by an SRP user have to be approved by an SRP (full control) user or an Admin.

SRP (Scheduling and Resource Planner) full control

Full control users can:

  • access, edit or delete any event in the Calendar (independent of the Share settings of the Activity)
  • schedule events in the Calendar module, and assign the events to any running Activity (independent of sharing).
    By assigning an event to a running Activity, the user automatically gains access to the Advanced Scheduling option of the Activity.

    Note

    Events scheduled by a full control user are approved by default, and the user can approve events scheduled by an SRP user.
  • print or send calendar views (Daily/ Weekly/ Monthly) in email

Tip

Combine the SRP or SRP (full control) privileges with the Activity Manager privilege to grant access to the Advanced Scheduler through the Edit Activity pop-up window.

Tip

Advanced Scheduling is also available for Calendar events. See How to Access the Activity Scheduler through the Calendar.

About Advanced Scheduling

Advance Scheduling goes beyond blocking off chunks of time in the Calendar to reserve rooms to complete specific Cases on specific dates. With Advance Scheduling you can plan the structure of your Activity related event down to the minute, set up automatic recording and even collect the availability of the participants of the Activity.

Note

Each Case is carried out on a Station that is essentially a room assigned to the specific scheduled event.
Rooms have cameras set up, but simulators, intercom devices, as well as workstation computers, can also be configured in the room.
You can set up these different kinds of devices on the relevant tabs of the
System module.

'Stations in Advanced Scheduling' is a different concept within LearningSpace than 'Stations' (which is a specific computer that can be linked to a room and be used for data entry by any designated participant of an Activity). Learn more on the Stations Settings page.

Data entry only allowed from manually authorized workstations

The 'Data entry only allowed from manually authorized workstations' restriction (available on the Options tab of the Edit Activity pop-up window):

  • if enabled - the Activity and its Cases will only be accessible from the computer(s) that is/ are assigned to the rooms where the Cases are scheduled.

    Easy Login

    In Case you are using Legacy Login, your users can access Easy Login on the workstation computers they log in to.

  • if not enabled - the Activity and its Cases can be accessed from any computer.
