Inheritance from Course Templates:

Nearly all settings defined on a Course Template are inherited when you schedule a Course date. This includes the cost of the Course, the duration, and the min/max places available.

You can override all of this information too, so if a scheduled course has a different cost to the Course Template you can change it for this date only.

There are some exceptions to this, however:

Course Label
You cannot change the course label, although you can provide a course alias override which is where you provide a different name to the course. This will then appear in the Course Calendar & Courses DataGrid. It can also be included in Document Templates and Workflows as an alternative to the course label.

Course Text
There are several text fields such as Aims, Objectives and Summary.

These are defined at a Course Template level only.

Course Awards
You are able to associate each course to Awarded Awards (what the User achieves by attending), and Required Awards (what the User needs to achieve before they take this course). This can only be done at a Course Template level.

Document Templates & Surveys
Each Course Template can be assigned three Document Templates, and three Surveys. This cannot be overridden for Course dates.

Categories
Categories are assigned to Course Templates. Additional or alternative Categories cannot be assigned to Course dates.
