Create Session - Availability

The Availability tab is the third step in the session configuration process. Availability settings determine which users can access the session.

Design Note: An updated interface is available for this page, which can be enabled by administrators in Feature Activation Preferences. With the new design, the functionality of the page is unchanged.

To create an ILT event session, go to ILT > Manage Events & Sessions. Search for the event and in the Options column next to the event, click the View Sessions icon . To create a new session, click the Create New Session link. Navigate through the process to the Availability step.

Session Availability Tips

  • Users can view sessions that are not available to them by selecting the View All Sessions option on the Event Summary page, which can be found by searching for training. These unavailable sessions will not be listed on the Events Calendar.
  • These users will generate an exception request if they request the session unless the Do not allow users to Request this session by Exception Request option is selected on the Session Availability page.
  • Sessions can be composed of an unlimited number of separate parts. When a user registers for this session, they will be automatically enrolled in each part. Webcast sessions may be composed of up to 120 parts.
  • If the event is configured to restrict users from selecting a session, the manager or administrator needs to request a session on the user's behalf.
