Courses are organised into course masters and course date. A course master is the template for all the course dates under it. Course dates use course master information as default or as defined on the course master. See details below about what information is used as default, to be edited, and what can only be found on the course master. There are two main ways you can add a course date:
Choose the Course Master first
-
Navigate to Publish>Masters
-
Choose your Course Master from the list, filtering if necessary. Click on the green + button
Using contextual ribbon
-
View or edit a Course Master, Document or Course Date
-
Click on the green + button beside the Courses>Dates icon on the contextual ribbon
