NoldusViso includes a scheduler: a shared calendar showing every session that has been planned. Use it to set up a recording in advance, share it with other users, and reserve the devices you need so that no one else can book them for the same time slot.

In the scheduler, you can:

• See which sessions have been scheduled, and who organized them
• See when a device is already included in a scheduled session
• Share your planned session with other users as Viewer, Reviewer, or Annotator
• Start and stop the recording automatically at the scheduled times
• Open the session itself, when you scheduled it or it was shared with you
• Open the recording once it has been made

Important notes:

• The Session relation (Owner, Viewer, Reviewer, or Annotator) is separate from the user-management application role (also see Session sharing).
• Devices are only available in 1 session at a time: for example, when user A has scheduled a session including device 1, another user cannot schedule a session with that device at the same time.

Prerequisites

• Only administrators and trainers can schedule sessions.
• The scenario you want to use must already exist, and must include every device you want to record with.
• The devices in that scenario must be configured, and must be available for the time slot. A device that is already booked in another session at the same time cannot be used.

1. Schedule a new session

To schedule a new session, click 'Schedule Session' in the top right of the scheduler. You can specify:

• Session name
• Scenario
• Date and time slot
• Automatic start and stop recording (toggle is 'off' by default)
• Invitees: users to share the Session with as Viewer, Reviewer, or Annotator

You can edit or delete a scheduled session at any point after creating it.

2. Device availability

To see which devices are already booked and when, open the 'Devices' tab in the top right of the scheduler.

A device that is already in use in a scheduled session cannot be added to another session at the same time.

3. Go to the session or its recording

After a session has been scheduled, or when a scheduled session has been shared with you, click 'Go to session' in the scheduler to open it. After a recording has been made in that session, click 'Replay' to open the recording.

4. Automatic start and stop recording

You can have the recording start and stop automatically at the session's scheduled times. This is set per session and is 'off' by default.
