Time Block (EDA)


Time Block is an EDA object that we can use for streamlined Session creation using the Session Scheduler‍.  A Time Block represents a period of time that a Session can run for. Time Blocks will basically be used to create Session Times.


For example, a high school may always follow the same pattern every day:

  • 9:00 - 10:10 - Class 1.

  • 10:10 - 11:20 - Class 2.

  • 11:20 - 12:00 - Lunch 1.

  • 12:00 - 1:10 - Class 3.

  • 1:10 - 1:35 - Lunch 2.

  • 1:35 - 2:45 - Class 4.


In this case, you would set up 5 Time Blocks:

  • 1 parent Time Block.

  • 4 class Time Blocks (one for each class time).


You would not create a Time Block for a time period where there would be no Sessions (for example, a break or a lunch).
