Accounting Cycle: Using the Planner

This article is intended for Instructors

This article applies only to the Accounting Cycle simulation.

To configure the Accounting Cycle simulation, follow these simple steps:

Log in to www.praxar.com, go to Groups and click ''Access'' on the corresponding group.
Select the Planner tab, and start configuring.

In this section, you can:

Set a deadline to complete the simulation by locking access after a predefined date and time.
Control the pace of the simulation by blocking access to each section until a predetermined moment. To do this, specify an Unlock date and time when the section will become available to students.

You can skip certain transactions here. To do this, select the source documents that the students will not completed.

If a source document is skipped, the participant will not be required to fill out the form and the correct answer will be displayed automatically.

In addition, a notification will appear for participants: "This source document was skipped by your instructor".

You can also skip some simulation steps by checking off the parts you do not want students to complete.

Due to the global logic of the exercise, neither source documents nor other steps of the Accounting Cycle can be removed from the simulation.
