How it works

Note:

  1. The Double Period Batch will only work on the same Cohort record with 5-minute start time intervals. If 5 minutes are exceeded, it will not be covered in the batch process.

  2. The Double Period Batch will only work on not more than 2 Periods.

Double Period Example

After the batch runs,

On the 1st Session, the MultiSession field will have a value of 1.

On the 2nd Session, the MultiSession field will have a value of 2, and the Session Master field will be populated on the 1st Session record.
