Schedule sessions

Scheduling a session consists in setting the dates for opt-in (if enabled) and matching messages.

Schedule a session

1. Open your program

2. Go to the "Sessions" tab, and click "Schedule a new round"

3. Choose a date and hour for sending the opt-in message (if activated in the Settings).

Note that you decide to send it now by clicking "Now" at the bottom of the selection panel.

A little colored card will appear on your planning view:

Card colors are random.

4. Choose a date and hour for sending the matching message.

Another little colored card will appear on your planning view:

In our example below, the opt-in message will be sent on June 4, and the match message will be sent on June 10. Between June 4 and June 10, the session will be "open".

5. Choose the timezone for this session (below the match message date)

6. Select a recurrence between :

• One time only

• Every week on same days

• Every 2 weeks on same days

• Every 3 weeks on same days

• Every 4 weeks on same days (every month)

7. Then, click "Save".

What is an open session?

An "open session" is a session for which opt-in messages have been sent, but not yet matching emails. It's the time interval between sending the opt-in messages and the matching messages.

During an open session, you can view the following graph in the "Session" tab of your program, updated in real time:

It gives you information about:

• the starting date of the round (i.e. the date when opt-in messages have been sent)

• the date when the matchs will be sent

• the number of opt-ins (in the screenshot above, only 3 people have opt-in, for a total of 131 opt-in messages sent), i.e. the number of participants to the session

• the number of people who declined

Even if the session is "open", you can update the session schedule and decide to send the matching message earlier or later than planned, by clicking the "Update this session schedule" button.
