Overview

The left-hand side of the window shows the Configuration Tree. This section is divided into two sections: the top section is composed of all the main configuration folders (, , , , and ) while the section at the bottom contains the folder which will show you the number of conflicting events created, and which resources are making the conflicts.

Configuration Folders

Refer to the following brief overview of each configuration folder you can find on the Side Menu:

A resource is a very generic definition. In a provider/institution context, resources can be rooms, laptops, projectors, and staff members (teachers, tutors, etc.).By default (depending on your business or institution’s requirements), your Rapla is configured into 3 Types of Resources: Facility, Equipment, and Staff.

A user can be an administrator or non - administrator, e.g. reception, or registrar. Any Rapla user with an administrator access level can add new users to Rapla.

Allow full customisation: By default, we’ve set it to Student Booking, Generic Meeting, Generic Event, and Paradigm Session. The Event Type in creating sessions to be imported to Paradigm should be set as Paradigm Session.

Rapla provides support for fixed periods/terms. Simply enter the start and end date and enter the customised Period name. e.g. ‘2022 Semester 1’. This section should be updated every time you add an event that relates to a specific time period. The time period set here should also match the time period you’ve coded in Paradigm.

Conflict happens when two scheduled sessions (or any events) have the same time and date or use the same resources (teaching staff or room facility). This section will give you the details of the conflicting resources. The number specified on the right of the configuration folder is equivalent to the number of conflicting resources you’ve created.

This section will also affect the main calendar view of Rapla, see .
