There are occasions where admin needs to create multiple intakes for a course at a time. Instead of manually creating the intakes from scratch one by one, Vitae enables admin to create multiple intakes in bulk with session time preconfigured by using course intake pattern profiles. Refer to the following sections for the details on the pattern profile configurations and course intakes’ bulk creation.
To enable the course intake bulk creation, admin needs to configure a course intake pattern profile as the basis to create the intakes.
Navigate to Pattern profile configuration > Course intake pattern in Course and complete the following steps:
1. On the Course intake pattern page, click Create.
2. In the Create course intake pattern panel, after entering the Course intake pattern name, select a course intake as the Template course intake for the pattern. The course intakes created with this pattern will have similar settings as the selected template intake.
3. Complete the configurations for Intake frequency, Registration dates, and Module start dates for the course intakes created with the pattern.
4. Click Save. The pattern will be created.
With the required intake pattern ready, admin can create the course intakes with it in Course > Course intake configuration.
To create the intakes in bulk, complete the following steps:
1. On the Course intake configuration page, click Create and select Bulk create course intakes.
2. In the Bulk create course intakes panel, select the Start date of the first course intake the Course intake pattern.
3. Configure the Course intake count. The course intakes count can be manually configured or be automatically calculated.
If Automatically calculate the count is selected, enter the total number of participants for the course intakes to create. The intake count to create will be calculated based on the total participants and the maximum pax available in one course intake.
The maximum number of pax available in one course intake is the pax number configured in the template course intake of the selected intake pattern.
For instance, when the maximum number of pax available in one course intake is 30 and the total participant number is 100, 4 course intakes will be created.
4. Click OK. The course intakes will be created. Admin can then view and edit the detailed configurations for each intake. For details on course intake configuration, refer to How to create course intakes.
