Managing Slots

On the next card down, you can manage the available slots for the block. Elentra automatically creates one on-service slot for every block.
Click 'Add Slot'.
Select a slot type from the list. The options are on-service learner or off-service learner. On-service slots will be open to learners enrolled in your program. Off-service slots can be made available to learners from other programs, and if so, will display on the rotation lists of those programs. Currently, there is no user interface to change these two slot type options.
Optionally select a site for the slot by clicking 'Choose Site'. The quick pick list of available sites is based on the sites assigned to the block.
Optionally select a preceptor for the slot by clicking 'Choose Preceptor'. The quick pick list of available preceptors is based on the sites assigned to the block.
The 'Enforce occupancy limits' is used to limit the number of learners booked into a specific slot. This feature is optional but must be used if you plan to use the Elentra Lottery tool.
If you turn 'Enforce occupancy limits' on, set the minimum and maximum number of learners for this slot.
Click 'Save'.
You can add multiple slots to a block to provide an infinite number of opportunities for learners.

If you plan to use the Elentra Lottery tool and you have multiple sites available, you must create a slot per site and define the maximum numbers for that site. This is the way the lottery can make sure to appropriately schedule learners.
