🌟 Sometimes, multiple crews start training together before splitting into individual simulator sessions. XO Scheduler supports this with the join function, which lets you assign one classroom and instructor across several crews.
In this part, we’ll show how to create joinable slots for Human Factors and Ground School in the B747 recurrent curriculum.
🎥 Video Tutorial: Joining Crews
📍This video explains how to set up joinable resource slots and content IDs.
📸 Disclaimer: Screenshots and videos may look slightly different from your XO Scheduler interface depending on your version or configuration.
🛠️ Step-by-Step Guide
1) Create resource slots for Day 1
Human Factors Facility: Role = Classroom, Qualification = Human Factors Classroom, Assignment = Less Fragmented.
Human Factors Instructor: Role = Instructor, Qualification = Human Factors Instructor, Assignment = Balanced.
Ground School Facility: Role = Classroom, Qualification = B747 Ground School Classroom, Assignment = Less Fragmented.
Ground School Instructor: Role = Instructor, Qualification = B747 Ground School Instructor, Assignment = Balanced.
2) Assign slots to topics
Assign Human Factors slots to the Human Factors topic.
Assign Ground School slots to the Ground School topic.
3) Set joinable properties
For each slot, double-click and mark it as Joinable.
Enter a Content ID (e.g.,
HF-Instructor,B747-GS-Facility).Topics with the same Content ID can be joined, even across different fleets.
💡 Pro Tips
Content IDs are critical: Define a company policy for consistent IDs.
Check qualified resources: Always verify the resource list is not empty.
Fleet vs non-fleet topics: Human Factors can be joined across fleets; fleet-specific ground schools cannot.

📌 Wrapping Up
You’ve now set up joinable topics so multiple crews can train together when needed. Next, we’ll add continuity rules to ensure resources (like instructors) stay consistent across related sessions.
