Update - to see
  1. page:
    • First: determine the number of Cases you want your learners to complete during the event, which also means the number of Cases they need to complete within a round.
      Learn more about rounds (and their relation to timeslots) here.

    • Then decide in how many stations should each Case be running.

      • A Case must be run on at least one station to provide spots for learners.
      • The number of spots is closely related to the timeslots of the event.

        In a basic setup: where a Case only runs in one station → the number of spots are equal =  to the number of the timeslots that were created for the event.
        However,  if there are multiple Case stations set up → a timeslot can contain more than one spot.

      • (lightbulb) The number of default spots within the event will multiply by the number of defined stations →  which means you can assign more learners to the event.

      Tip
      titleHow to Caculate the Number of Spots in an Event

      number of total spots = created timeslots* x number of stations

      *the number of created  timeslots in a round →  should be equal to/ the multiple of →  the number of required Cases.


  2. Click Continue.

  3. You arrive to a page where you can select the total number of Cases you want in your event, and you can also define the number of stations each Case will run on:

    Tip

    The same Case can run on multiple stations. 


  4. Click Continue once more.
  5. The system generates the exact number of stations based on the number of Cases you want to conduct during the event multiplied by the number of stations you want each Case to run on:

    Note
    titleNote

    In case you want to run each Case on multiple stations, you need to add the same Case to the number of stations you have defined previously.


  7. Assign a room to each station.

    Note
    titleImportant

    You cannot assign the same room to more than one event station.

    Click Update after selecting rooms to check if any of them have been taken. 

    1. If a room was vacant →  the system will save the setting and book the room for the event. 
    2. If the room was occupied →  the system will return the message Occupied! under the unavailable room.
    3. In such case →  select another room and hit Update again to check your setting.
