To copy conferences from one year to the next, here is a short summary of what the following steps have you do: Go to each historical conference, and copy each conference into the new time period. It will copy over your time slots but these will be empty of session offerings. Enter appropriate start and end dates, save conference, then populate the time slots with your session offerings. These new session offerings are simple newly created classes from existing course titles. Those session course titles need to be in ASAP before you can build your conference.
Steps for creating New Season of Conferences:
- First – Each new season
- Create new Time period for your new season, check the box for “configuration is complete”
- Create new Course Group: “Stream Camp Offerings” (can create grade groupings if desired)
- Create new COURSES (not classes) for any new session offerings that you will be offering in your time slots. Include Grade information in the titles, for easier shopping. (like: “Art Gr 3-5”) NOTE: you only need ONE course title for each offering, even if you offer this course at several different times and sessions.
- Assign these courses to the Course Group (bucket of offerings): “Stream Camp Offerings” or “Offerings Grades 1-2” and “Offerings Gr 3-5”
- Decide if you will copy or create new conferences. Find old conferences and review time slot names (like “first period”) and slot times (like first period starts at 8:00am and ends at 8:50am). Verify that all time slots have the desired start and stop times for the new season. If you want to edit time slots you may want to create brand new conferences. NOTE: You can edit time slots but this will change the name and slots times in historical conferences as well.
- If you have a new name for your conference, create a new conference. You don’t want to edit titles from previous years, this will change the name and history of those historical conferences. See instructions to create new conferences.
