Sessions

Create Sessions inside a Cast sheet to determine a single training event's start and end date or multiple synchronous simulated patient encounters.

Sessions are important in determining the date and time of the Cases - representing simulated patient encounters - that were added to the Sessions.

Edit the details of the Session—date and title—in the header:

Set up the date and time of a Session with the built-in date picker:

A valid Session date is a prerequisite for SP Recruitment. While you can continue with adding Cases without the date of the Session being set up, the + Recruit SP option stays inactive until a date has been selected from the date picker:

Similar to events, Sessions cannot take longer than a day: A Session must start and end on the same day.

Sessions are not identical to events and cannot be connected to existing Calendar or Advanced Scheduling events in any way.

The SPA module will not let you book concurrent or partially overlapping Sessions.

In case your new Session coincides with any existing Session within the same Cast sheet, you will be warned to pick another time and date:

AM-PM Switch

Smooth switching between AM and PM in the date picker improves the “Select date” field’s calendar user experience. The Timepicker add-on is included for setting hours or minutes.

You can switch to a 24-hour format by navigating to the System settings page.
