Prepare Rapla Events

This page will discuss the fields to check and review in the Rapla created Paradigm Session events to match with the Scheduled Units recorded in Paradigm.

Overview

The fields (required for a successful sync) in your Paradigm Sessions created in Rapla must have matching Scheduled Unit records in Paradigm. It is highly recommended that you review the data entry in Rapla before you attempt to sync the data. Some of the required and critical fields with data are listed in the table below for review. All these fields are also mentioned on the Paradigm Session page.
