(info)  Scheduling Time Threshold is the time - expressed in minutes - before and after events when they are already and still considered to be running, so learners and SPs can do data entry on "manually authorized workstations only" before and after the set times.

EXAMPLE: 
  • If this setting is 30 minutes and an event is scheduled in the Calendar to start at 9:00 am and end at 10:00 am, SP and learner data entry will be allowed from 8:30 am till 10:30 am.
  • For this period of time, the room(s) set for said event should not be assigned to any other event, as this might lead to data loss.
  • In this specific example, the next event can be scheduled for 11:00 am - as the second event will be considered to be running from 10.30 am till 30 minutes after the end time of the event.
IMPORTANT:  This setting affects scheduling in general, that is, once set, it applies to each and every scheduled event. It does not modify the start and end time of the event itself, but holds the assigned rooms as occupied for the given amount of minutes before and the same amount of minutes after the start and end times of the events.
Therefore, if a 30-minute scheduling time threshold is set, there has to be a minimum of 60 minutes between events that are assigned to the same stations (30 minutes after a event plus 30 minutes before the next one).
