A recurring pattern is the weekly rhythm of a class. “Every Monday, 6–10 PM, Main Campus.” “Every Wednesday, 6–9 PM, virtual, skills lab.” The pattern is a template. It does not create anything by itself. You use it to build the class dates, and those dates are what students and instructors actually see.

​
Where to set it

Settings → Schedule → Step 2 · Which days it meets. You can also set a pattern while creating a cohort.

​
The simple way

Most classes meet at the same time, in the same room, every day they meet. So the editor asks three things:
  1. Which days — tick Monday, Wednesday, and so on.
  2. What time — one start time and one end time for all of them.
  3. Where — one location, or virtual.
That is it.

​
When days are different

Some classes meet 6–10 PM on Monday and 9 AM–5 PM on Saturday. Turn on the switch for per-day settings and each day gets its own time, place, and session type. If your saved schedule already varies by day, the switch turns itself on when you open the editor.

​
Session types

Each day can be tagged with what kind of session it is — Lecture, Skills Lab, Clinical, Examination, and so on. This shows up for students and feeds your teaching records.

​
Changing a pattern later

Saving a pattern does not change dates that already exist. Nothing moves until you rebuild. That is why the pattern and the rebuild sit on the same page. After you save a pattern, Step 3 tells you whether your calendar still matches it:
  • Green: 12 class dates, matching the pattern above.
  • Yellow: These dates no longer match the pattern. Rebuild, or leave them if you changed the calendar on purpose.
Rebuilding deletes every class date and makes new ones. Attendance, instructor hours, feedback surveys, and lesson plans attached to those dates go with them. The confirmation screen counts exactly what you would lose before you click.

​
Example

Your EMT class runs Tuesday and Thursday nights, 6–10 PM, at Station 2, from September 8 to December 18.
  1. Open the class → Settings → Schedule.
  2. Step 1 — first day September 8, last day December 18. Save.
  3. Step 2 — tick Tuesday and Thursday. Set 6:00 PM to 10:00 PM. Pick Station 2. Save.
  4. Step 3 — click Build 30 class dates.
Thirty real dates land on the calendar. Instructors can take attendance against each one.

​
One-day events

An event has no pattern. It has one date, a start time, and an end time. That is the whole schedule.
