Easily create and publish Classes to your timetable.
Let’s take a look at how you can view and Add a New Class!
Navigating to Classes
Navigate to Classes & Events using the side navigation menu within the Admin Dashboard.
On this page, you can view the Attendees and Edit your Class details. If you’re visiting this page for the first time you’ll likely not see any Classes listed.
But let’s change that!
Adding a Class
To add a new class simply click the “New Event” button. An Event form will open to the right of the screen.
Get started by providing some Basic Details about the class ( Name, Dates/Time, Address, Organiser, Staff and Description).
IMPORTANT NOTE: When creating a recurring class be sure to enable the “This is a recurring event” button and set how frequent you want the class to repeat e.g. Daily, Weekly, Monthly.
“Until when?” date is a required field. If you don’t want the class to expire, then set the “Until When?” date to a date in the distant future. Example: 22/10/2034
You can additionally set when you want to make Classes and Events available to users to Book/Check-In. Simply uncheck the boxes for “Check In & Registration opens immediately” and “Check In & Registration closes when the event starts“. Set the date and time to open and close the events/classes.
If your Event or Class is occurring at a different location you can select from your addresses or specify a custom address.
Select who is the Organizer of the Event/Class and specify which Staff are involved. This is a required field so be sure to select at least one Organizer and one Staff member.
Important Note: Tags allow you to restrict access to classes and events. Use “membership” tags to limit which membership type you wish to give access to this class. This will prevent specific members from checking into the wrong classes.
For example; An adult member checking into a kid’s class.
The “paid” tag is used for any Paid or Free Events, that you want to make available to both members and non-members. The paid tag will display any events or classes on the member portal “Book Online” page.
A description can be added if the Class warrants additional details.
If this is a Paid Class you’ll need to include the costs under the Pricing tab. If you’re creating classes for members only, keep the price at zero. You can additionally limit the capacity for a class by setting the Maximum allowed spots.
Spruce up your class by adding a Class Image or Custom Colours. Try to keep the colours consistent for events of similarity, this way your customers can begin to familiarise themselves with the different classes/events held.
To finish up set some General settings. Set whether you wish to allow cancellations, if so add a Minimum time period before cancelling. If you want customers redirected after completing a booking you can include a Redirect URL here. Under the Payments tab, be sure to link to Appointment or Event to get paid directly to your main bank account.
Finally, don’t forget to “Save” your newly created Class.
And that’s it! We’ve successfully added our first Class.
