# Add Sessions

## Overview

Sessions are the individual classes for a particular unit. These can be tracked, attendance recorded and timetabled for student attendance and tracking. As sessions can also involve managing your resources, we are supporting Rapla as a third-party software that will help you manage your resources and at the same time add sessions to your Scheduled Units, _see_ [Rapla Knowledge Base](https://app.gitbook.com/o/sKrEpOcwixBOaKMqV0Bh/s/mGGliFWfDvc7wUlddBrv/). However, adding sessions directly in Paradigm is also possible. Refer to the instructions below.

## Prerequisite Record

Prior to following the instructions below, the following is assumed to be true:

The Scheduled Units that you want the sessions added already exist, _see_ [Add Scheduled Units](../manage-scheduled-units/add-a-scheduled-unit)

## Workflows

## via Rapla

Refer to the Rapla Knowledge Base [**Create Events**](https://app.gitbook.com/s/mGGliFWfDvc7wUlddBrv/create-events/choose-an-event-type/paradigm-session) section.

## via Import Wizard

Contact our [Support Team](https://docs.silverband.com.au/home/v/training/how-to-get-support/support-options) to discuss more details on the requirements when adding Scheduled Sessions in bulk. The fields available when adding a Scheduled Session to the system can be found on the [Scheduled Sessions Record Type](../../record-types/scheduled-sessions) page.

## via each Scheduled Unit in Paradigm

1. Search for the Scheduled Unit record where you want to add the sessions, _see_ [Search a Scheduled Unit](../manage-scheduled-units/search-a-scheduled-unit).
2. Once the Scheduled Unit record is loaded, choose **Units** > **Scheduled Unit Details** > **Edit Scheduled** > **Sessions** menus on the side or scroll down the page to get to the **SESSIONS** section.

In the **SESSIONS** section, click the **NEW SESSION** button.

3. After clicking the **NEW SESSION** button, go to the **SESSION DETAILS** Form section and fill out all the available information relating to the new session that you want to add. Refer to the [**Record Type Scheduled Sessions page**](../../record-types/scheduled-sessions) for a description of each field.

**NOTE**:

If you are using the Session Group and Session Class fields, refer to [**this** ](https://docs.silverband.com.au/home/v/rapla/example-events/session-group-and-class)Rapla documentation. The logic is the same when creating sessions using Session Group and Class directly in Paradigm.
{% endhint %}

After filling out all the required and necessary fields, click the **SAVE SESSION** button.

4. Repeat the same steps when adding more sessions to the same Scheduled Unit record.
