Scheduled Programs in Paradigm are the units being offered in your business or institution with specific criteria that determine which cohort the student unit enrolment belongs to. The fields that you can use to differentiate your offering are found in the sections below.
When adding a Scheduled Unit, the Base Unit record is required, see Base Units and the Time Period has been configured properly, see Time Periods: Add Scheduled Units Requirements
The following are all the sections and fields available in Paradigm when you add a Scheduled Unit record to the system.
