How does the Scheduling feature work?

The Scheduling feature has three components: Schedules, Sessions, and Timeslots. This guide will help you understand how each component works, so you can build the perfect schedule for you & your applicants' needs!

IMPORTANT: If you are working on re-setup for a new application cycle, you will need to archive all schedules, and create new schedules, before creating your new sessions. If you have questions, please reach out to your Account Relations Specialist at  accountrelations@getacceptd.com. 

 

Schedules: Schedules keep everything organized at the highest level. They allow you to group together Sessions and even color code them for easy reference and organization. 

• No matter how many Sessions are in a Schedule, an applicant can only be scheduled once within a Schedule.
• If the applicant is scheduling themselves, applicants are granted access to an entire Schedule(s), not to individual Sessions.

 

Sessions: Sessions are set up to cover a window of time and divide your Schedule by date, room, or in some cases, morning and afternoon.

• Each Session has set timeslot lengths, break lengths, and timeslot capacity if you're scheduling more than one applicant per timeslot.
• The way you set up a Session determines whether the applicant can schedule themselves or not.

 

Timeslots: Timeslots provide you with the individual times that an applicant can be scheduled. Applicants can choose their own timeslot or the organization can schedule them.
