Hi Todd,
I created some documentation a while back that might need updating at
https://loncapa.msu.edu/faculty/signup-tutorial/
Please note that the loncapa.msu.edu website will be updated soon and
this page may go away. I created this page because it was so difficult
to explain using slots for sign-up. This is from an older version of
LON-CAPA and may need to be updated.
