Thank you for adding the ability to schedule slots in the past. That feature is very useful when your HR team has been doing 3 years of 1-to-1 training sessions and recording the students' names and dates into an Excel spreadsheet... but now they want you to put this training online in Moodle. smile

We're using Scheduler to add courses called:

  • New Hire Onboarding 2014
  • New Hire Onboarding 2013
  • New HIre Onboarding 2012

... and then adding a Scheduler instance to each one to load the each year's sessions with students into them.

In our scenario, the enrollment will be set to manual and the instructor will be the only one who can add students to sessions.

We're using Moodle 2.7.2 right now and if I add the students while I'm adding the dates, then yes, they are being loaded in just fine for 2013, etc. 

One thing that would be very helpful is if we could 'template' more of the fields. For example, have a checkbox next to the year setting and the time setting that you click to indicate 'Keep this date' or 'Keep this time.' 

Thanks,

Jean
