This refers to an educational activity's modality. Examples include "Lecture", "Small Group <12", and "Tutorial". These are customizable at the School level.
To create a new Session Type or to review existing session types, click as shown below. A newly created session type can be used for existing or for future Sessions being created in Ilios.
Edit a Session Type's description if it has not been attached to any Sessions. Once set, the value for Session Type title cannot be modified.
To do this ...
Select the Session Type to be modified
Click the "edit" button
Edit the Session Type's title using the provided "Title" field.
Choose a color to display on the Calendar for all Session Types.
To do this ...
Select the Session Type to be modified
Click the "edit" button
Select the new color using the color guide tool or enter a hex value for the new color.
An example of how these colors appear on a Calendar is shown below.
De-activate a Session Type if it is no longer in use. This does not change the legacy data but will result in the Session Type no longer being available for use in Ilios going forward. The controls for performing this action are shown below.
NOTE: When a Session Type gets de-activated, it is sent to the bottom of this list. The phrase "(disabled)" will be appended to the text description (name) of the session type.
Session Types can only be completely removed from the system if they have never been used. This is shown below. Like basically everywhere in Ilios, if the trash can is enabled, the object can be removed from the system.
