How to add an intake

There are two ways to add new intakes: Firstly, from the administrator dashboard. Secondly, as part of the process of adding a new offering. The second option is useful if you realise you need to add a new intake while you are adding a new course, resource or product, without having to leave that part of the process and go back to the add intake screen.

To add an intake from the administrator dashboard:

Go to Manage / Intake

From this screen, you can see current 'Active' intakes and intakes that have expired, based on their date.

To add an intake, click 'Add intake' in the top right.

Give the intake a name and select a type. Intakes must be date based or duration based. Date-based intakes start and end on defined dates. Duration based intakes are available for a set number of days, weeks, months or years.

In addition to the intake date, you can add a specific date and time for enrolment to open and close. This means you can set enrolments to open and close prior to the 'intake' starting, if you would like to capture all enrolled student information prior to the course starting and create a buffer period before they are able to access the materials.

Once confirmed, you can edit or delete any 'active' intake by clicking on the actions menu to the far right of the intake on the main dashboard.

To add an intake from inside an offering:

Go to manage/ offerings. Click to add an offering in the top right of the screen.

Add offering information. At step 3, you can either assign an existing intake to a course, or choose to add a new intake, with the same options available as if you were to add from the main intake screen (date-based duration-based).

You can assign multiple intakes to an offering to enable learners to enrol and start a course on multiple different dates.
