Convert to Single Events

This page will provide the instructions when converting a repeating event into single events.

Overview

Converting multiple events or appointments in Rapla is possible and will not create any issues as long as the session is not yet synced to Paradigm. Refer to the warning message below for instances when you have already imported the event that you want to convert into single appointments. This knowledge article will provide you with the steps on how to convert an event's appointment in Rapla into individual events.

WARNING:

If you have already synced the Session/Event to Paradigm, converting a repeating Appointment into a single event will create a whole new set of Session lines in the Course Plan menu for the student to enrol, leaving the previously repeating appointment intact. To avoid duplicates, delete the sessions previously synced and convert the appointment into single events in Rapla before attempting to resync.

Workflow

1. Right-click on the Paradigm Session where the appointment that you want to convert into single events is under or directly on the Appointment Session that you want to convert into single events and click the Edit option. This will open the Paradigm Session details.

2. Go to the Appointments section, (1) Make sure that the correct Appointment in which you want to convert into single events is selected/highlighted. (2) On the right side of that section, click the Convert to single events button.

3. After clicking the Convert to single events button, you will notice on the Appointments space on the left, that all the single events are generated depending on the number of times that a repeating appointment has been set.

SUCCESS:

After converting the Appointment into single events, you can now go through all the newly generated single events and adjust the necessary details.
