Classes

A class is a type of training, such as Beginner Karate or Open Mat. A class variant is an optional subtype, such as Kata or Sparring. A class can be used in a schedule to create its recurring sessions.

Create a class

1. Open Classes and select New Class.
2. Enter a name and choose the related program.
3. Optionally set age limits and booking spots for members or trial visitors.
4. Turn on Counts towards attendance if attendance should count toward level progression. It starts off on the new-class form.
5. Save the class, then add a variant if you need one.
6. Add the class to a schedule.

Booking spots can be unlimited when left blank. Trial spots can be separate from member spots, so check both limits when planning capacity.

Classes are managed from the school’s Classes menu. A class can have several program assignments in its Program Eligibility section, each with its own level limits and booking switches. Setting capacity does not turn bookings on; enable them on the program assignment or override them on the schedule entry.

Control who can sign in

When group-based kiosk access is enabled, you can optionally choose allowed groups for a class. Members in any selected group may sign in; leaving the group list empty allows all members. This setting controls kiosk access, not membership in the program.

Attendance and progression

The Counts towards attendance setting belongs to the class. If it is off, attendance at sessions of that class does not count toward a level’s minimum-class requirement. Review it before staff begin taking attendance.

Example

For Adult Karate, create Karate Fundamentals and Open Mat as separate classes. If the Fundamentals class includes distinct training formats, create variants such as Kata and Sparring. Schedule each class at its usual time.
