Course activation: Participant management

To get to the participant management of a course activation, choose Course management → Course activation → participant icon (in the line of the favored course activation).

Note

It’s possible to call up the participant management via the OB3 API. Also there is the participant management for user content with both OB3s “Current Participants” and “Potential participants” available, which can be called by the OB3 API. The user sees only these results, if he/she is owner of the course activation.
For further questions, please contact our support team.

Users

Add user

Add a user to the course. You have four options:

  1. Register users as participants and set to “mandatory”
  2. Register users as participants and set to “optional”
  3. Display the course activation in the user’s catalog and set “mandatory”
  4. Display the course activation in the user’s catalog and set “optional”

In the overview below you see now Registered in the column Registration status.

Furthermore you see in the last column, who has approved the participation of a user to a course.

Notes
  • Authors can register users to a run, even if the registration deadline is reached.
  • Authors can register users to several runs.
  • Authors can deregister users from a run, even if the user was registered to a run and the event date is in the past.

To register users to a run, choose the context menu in the column “Information regarding the run” and select the appropriate entry. If users couldn’t be registered to the run, a message in the column “Run with warning” appears.

If you click on the table entry in the column “Information regarding the run”, you get an overview of the event dates of the corresponding run. If you click on the table entry in the column “Run with warning”, the Event manager opens.

Example for registering a user to several runs
Mathilda Green should be registered to the runs “Basic training”, “Training for advanced learners” and “Training for experts”.

What are your next steps?

You click on the Run icon in the column Information regarding the run in the line of the user Mathilda Green. If this column isn’t shown you click on the gear wheel on the table header and add the column Information regarding the run in the dialog window Configure column view. If you’ve clicked on the Run icon the dialog window with a list of all runs to which Mathida Green is registered and can be registered is shown (see second screenshot). Click on + in front of each run to register her to the runs “Basic training”, “Training for advanced learners” and “Training for experts”. If you want to deregister Mathilda Green from another run click on the recycle bin of the corresponding run. Then click on the button Close window. Now you see the entry Training for experts in the column Information regarding the run (see third screenshot). That is the run to which Mathilda Green was registered last. If you click on the recycle bin, only the shown run is removed, this means Mathilda Green is only deregistered from that run. To see the event date status click on the User icon (see fourth screenshot).

Note

If the author has configured a registration notification in the course activation, then the user receive this one, if he/she

Remove user

Runs

Runs help you to structure the participant management of your course activations. You define a start date, to which time obstacles of learning path refer. Further you define the maximum number of participants, the status, price and costs. When the appropriate course activation contains events, you get them displayed.

You see in the adjacent figure (see screenshot), how events and event dates in two different runs relate to each other. The first event dates of both events (May and August) take place in a first run. The next event dates of both events (July and November) are on a second run.

If you have selected the event dates of the runs, you get the event dates displayed as event date group and do not get is displayed as single event dates.

You find information about the approval procedure for runs on the page “Approval procedure (event) for runs“.

Notes

– If runs contain event dates with status “Being Planned”, the registration is not allowed.
– If an author deregister a participant from a course activation or set him to catalog, Avendoo® deregister the participant from the run.

At the summary after the registration of a run (on which event dates the participant is registered) the event dates are sorted by start date and the event title is shown in the appropriate language. Further you see an alternative event date if there are deregistered participants.

  • If you plan several event dates in a course activation, choose runs. Via the runs you can select from each event, which you plan with a certain group of participants, an event date. If you create several runs, you can add several groups of participants to several event dates.
  • You can define runs both on course and in the Participant management of the course activations. Runs, which you create in the Participant management, are only valid for the current course activation. You can also adjust this with the organizational right for authors Create general runs in participant management. Runs, which you’ve defined on the course, are valid for all course activations. The configuration of the option Runs for a course activation in the Registration management in the Course activation wizard is deciding.

Avendoo® registers participants automatically to all event dates of the selected run and the course activation, if the participants were registered by an author to a run.
    If you want to book the participants in the participant list of the event date at full participant list and don’t want to book on the waiting list on the run registration, click on the button “Add user with evnt date overbooking”.
  • You can define a run with a time obstacle, for example with the start date of the run.
  • Avendoo® can transmit runs and the assigned event dates as change messages to serve as basis for creating a SAP VM course run offer. When authors create, edit or delete a run in Avendoo®, Avendoo® generates an appropriate change message. If an author creates, changes or deletes an event date, Avendoo® controls, if this event date is assigned to one or more runs and sends a change message if applicable.
  • Authors can create community messages, which the participants receive, at the starting and the end of a run.
