Creating a Seminar

Once you are on the relevant course in which you would like to add a seminar and have turned editing on, add an activity and select Seminar:

Once added, the seminar settings can be configured to reflect the following:

• Cancellation policy
• How a user can sign up for a seminar
• Whether manager's can reserve on behalf of team members
• How activity completion is measured
  
  

Creating Events and Sessions  

To add events and sessions to the seminar, select the relevant seminar and then click Add a new event:

From here, it is possible to:

• Add sessions (including time/date, room/location, any applicable assets)
• Sign up open and close date
• Maximum and minimum booking numbers for event
• Whether there is a waiting list
  
  

Seminar Settings

Seminar settings can be managed/edited at a site level. This means any changes are added as default to all created seminars.

To edit the settings, go to the admin menu (settings cog) and select Seminars. On the dropdown menu, select Global settings:

From here, it is possible to edit/create:

• Event roles - assign roles to events, for example, if a Trainer is added to the course, they will appear as a Trainer for the Seminar event
• Approval options - how users can approve the seminar activity in a course
• Users select manager - when enabled, users can select the manager that can approve their Seminar booking (helpful if learners have multiple job assignments and managers)
• Waiting list settings - i.e. if Waiting List Lottery is enabled, everyone has equal chance of booking into the event

You can also edit activity/event default settings by selecting Activity defaults or Event defaults on the dropdown menu (as per the above image). In Activity defaults, you can edit how manager reservations are handled, and under Event defaults, you can edit default start and finish times.

You can also create lists of Rooms and Assets that are available for sessions. To add a new Room or Asset, go to the appropriate option on the dropdown menu (as per the above image) and select Add new.
