Tips & Best Practices

• Verify the session date and time before approving a learner request.

• Review learner requests regularly to avoid delays in scheduling.

Notes/Limitations

• Session start time must be set to a future date and time. Attempting to schedule a session in the past displays an error.
• Date and time fields include a built-in date and time picker for selecting the schedule.
