Choose Activities

The "Choose Activities" Link takes you to where you can view and select activities being run on a certain day or week or month. This is the page that you will see when you click the link:

If you have logged in to the system on week that there are no activities this is what will show on the screen, No Activities as the default view is always the current week. This would be the case for example if you selected a week that was a vacation week or a day that was a no activity day.

You may chose a view of the current month using the "View entire month" link. This will show you all activities you are available to be registered for in the current month. You can scroll forward or backwards months simply by selecting the drop arrow beside the Display Month and selecting a new month.

If you want to open to another week than the current week for example the week including 29 Jan click on the link on the RHS of the calendar "View entire week" that corresponds with that date in this case the 5th "View entire week" link you will then have all activities for that week displayed.

If you want to you may also simply select a day to check any activities registered for by clicking on the corresponding date for in the calendar box. This will show you only activities available for that date.

On the last 2 RHS columns there are two links beside each activity, Details and Register.Lets look at Details first

Details

This tag allows you to see the following page:

This allows you to see the following information about an activity before you register for it.

1. The Activities full name.
2. The Name of the Teacher running the activity.
3. The room activity is scheduled to be held in. This can be revised so this information is helpful to check the day before a class to see if it has changed from when you first registered.
4. The maximum number of participants.
5. The Number of occurances refers to the number of times this activity will be run. Some activities are one off and others recur. The activity in the screen shot above is a one off, had its occurences been more than one in the current week the table below would have shown all Occurrences.
6. The table below then shows the activity date/dates and the number of Approved Students and All Count. This refers to the number of registration requests approved in relation to the total number received. In the example the numbers show us that there are no registrations approved yet out of a possible 50 places but there is one registration pending. This allows you to see there are a possible 49 places left in this activity.

The Register Link

The last link on the RHS of each activity is the register link. Click this link only when you are sure that you wish to participate in an activity please. Once you click the register button you cannot undo this action. The registration request will show as pending in the "My Requests" page of your user panel. This is the confirmation page that you will see on successful registration request.

After the successful registration request you can choose other Activities the same way.

To choose activities other than the current week scroll through the days/weeks/months as previously described and select those activities you wish to participate in.

You may lodge a request for an activity that is full but there is no guarantee that you will not be denied access to the activity.

The program will not allow you to register for the same program twice, you will see that once an activity is registered and you come back to the page showing the available activities, the one you have registered for is gone from the list.

My Activities

The "My Activities" link takes you to this page. This is where you can see what activities you have signed up for in a given period of time. These are only the activities that you have had approved by the teacher or admin staff after you requested them. See "My Requests" for help on that subject.

If you have logged in to the system on week that you have not signed up for any of the activities this is what will show on the screen, No Activities as the default view is always the current week.

You may chose a view of the current month using the "View entire month" link. This will show you all activities you are registered for in the current month. You can scroll forward or backwards months simply by selecting the drop arrow beside the Display Month and selecting a new month.

If you want to open to another week than the current week for example the week including 29 Jan click on the link on the RHS of the calendar "View entire week" that corresponds with that date in this case the 5th "View entire week" link you will then have all activities for that week displayed.

If you want to you may also simply select a day to check any activities registered for by clicking on the corresponding date for in the calendar box. This will show you only activities for that date.

My Requests

The next link is "My Requests" which when you click the link you see the following page

This section of the software allows you to view Activities that you have submitted registration requests for, but that have not been approved or denied yet. These are the activities that were selected in the "Choose Activities" link earlier.

Your requests are listed as per your activities above. Default is for the current week, with options to view by month and future weeks or a specific date using the links on days of the calendar.
