You can use the Course Offering Schedule junction object, often with the Time Block object, to track such variations by relating the Course Offering with multiple schedules. ![Tip](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-sfdo-education_data_architecture-264-0-0-production-enus/6bcf23e4-1d0f-4cd5-8405-b8e231f03ed0/images/icon_tip.png) Tip If your class schedule follows a simple Monday through Friday routine, without alternating days or more complex schedule requirements, you likely don't need to use the Course Offering Schedule object. You can simply use a combination of Course Offering, Time Block, and Facility (if needed) to model your class schedule. - University—Track the daily variation in locations and times of next quarter's offering of Chem 102: Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 1-2 PM in Lecture Hall A, and Tuesdays and Thursdays 2-3:30 PM in the adjacent lab facility. In this case you'd create a Course Offering Schedule for the first group of classes and another Course Offering Schedule for the labs, and both Course Offering Schedules would look up to the same Course Offering. - K-12—Track alternating schedules, with one set of classes on "A" days and another set of classes on "B" days, and class schedules rotating between A and B days on a certain time cycle. Course Offering Schedules can be configured along with Time Blocks to accommodate A/B blocks with standard periods, with flex days and times, and the many other variations found in middle and high schools. ## Configure Course Offering Schedule Consider these updates, depending on which version of EDA you originally installed. | If Installed Before Version | Configuration Task | | --- | --- | | 1.74 | Add the Course Offering Schedules related list to your Course Offering page layout. | ## Create a Course Offering Schedule Record Create Course Offering Schedule records to represent the variations in a class schedule (locations, days of the week, times of day) for a Course Offering during a specific Term. By definition, a Course Offering Schedule is always related to a Course Offering. You can expect to create multiple Course Offering Schedule records to represent a course being offered on different days of the week, in different locations, and during different blocks of time. 1. From the Course Offering record, click **New** in the Course Offering Schedules related list. 2. Fill in details as needed to account for one unique combination of location, days of week, and times of day for a given class schedule. Don't change the Course Offering. ![Tip](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-sfdo-education_data_architecture-264-0-0-production-enus/6bcf23e4-1d0f-4cd5-8405-b8e231f03ed0/images/icon_tip.png) Tip Choose to use either the Start and End Time fields, or the Time Block field—but not both. 3. Click **Save & New** to create additional records for additional combinations, or click **Save** after you've entered the last combination. ![Note](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-sfdo-education_data_architecture-264-0-0-production-enus/6bcf23e4-1d0f-4cd5-8405-b8e231f03ed0/images/icon_note.png) Note See [Create Time Block Records](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sfdo.eda_time_block.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Create Time Block records for specific blocks of time you want to track at your school.
