This article is intended for Center Managers and Operations Managers. It explains the difference between Non-Working Days and Path Vacations, how to configure them correctly in T360, and how each option impacts student attendance and scheduling.
Before You Begin
Please ensure that you have the appropriate role permissions to access the following pages:
(At this time, only users assigned the Center Manager and Admin roles have access to these pages.)
- Non-Working Days
- Path Vacations
Without the required permissions, the pages may not be accessible, and any changes made will not be saved or applied.
Non-Working Days
A Non-Working Day is a center-wide holiday or official closure during which students are not expected to attend any Self-Learning sessions, events, or workshops.
These typically include:
- Public holidays
- Center-wide breaks
- Official closure days
When to Use Non-Working Days
Create a Non-Working Day in T360 whenever the entire center is not operating.
How Non-Working Days Affect Students
- During the Self-Learning phase, these days are not postponed or rescheduled. They are excluded from the learning timeline, and students are not marked as absent.
- For students who are registered in ongoing events or workshops, attendance for these dates is not automatically marked as excused by the system. Instead, it is up to each center to decide whether to mark the attendance as excused or leave it blank, according to the center’s attendance policy.
Important Tip: Non-Working Days apply to all students at the center and should not be used for individual or small-group scheduling adjustments.
Path Vacation
Path Vacation is a temporary pause within an active workshop, applied when students will be on vacation for one week or longer and are unable to attend scheduled sessions. Unlike Non-Working Days, a Path Vacation is taken specifically from workshops.
When to Use Path Vacation
Path Vacation should be used when:
- A workshop is ongoing
- Students will be absent for at least one full week
- The workshop timeline needs to pause and then continue
It is essential to configure the Path Vacation period before generating events, so that the system does not create sessions during those dates.
How Path Vacation Affects Students
- During a Path Vacation, self-learning remains active. If a student does not attend their scheduled self-learning session during this period, they will be marked absent in accordance with standard attendance policies.
- For events and workshops, sessions that fall within the Path Vacation period are not accessible to students enrolled in the corresponding Events. These dates should not be marked as absent or excused, as they are not considered active instructional days for the student.
- The Path Vacation period is automatically excluded from the Path timeline and does not require any additional action from the student.
Important Tip: Only events generated after the Path Vacation is added will reflect the updated schedule correctly.
Example:
If April 20–26 is configured as a Path Vacation and you generate events for a three-week duration afterward:
- The system will schedule three full instructional weeks.
- April 20–26 will be automatically skipped.
- The workshop timeline will extend accordingly.
Handling Common Issues
The main consideration with this workflow is that if a Path Vacation is added after events have already been generated, it will not apply retroactively. The workshop schedule will only pause for events created after the Path Vacation has been added.
