FAQ

  • Why can't I see the Course I want to add when looking at the list that shows which Programs I can create a Course from?  
    It's likely that you haven't set up the Program for the Course you want. Go back and watch Session 3 to make sure you have set up the Program (and enabled it) first. 
  • Why can I not see or add the units I want during Course creation?
    It's likely that you have not set up your units correctly when you created the Program. Go back and watch Session 3 to make sure you have done this step (creating units) within the Program step. 
  • We don't really want to mark attendance, or have an external system that does this. Do I still need to put Events in for all my Courses?  
    No, Events is an optional feature. You can use them your organisation requires, but the system will function without them.
