Creating a session

Creating a session

Tap any empty spot on the calendar to create a new session. It will snap to the nearest grid interval.
The following fields are available when creating or editing a session:
Activity (required) The activity defines what the session is about — for example "Morning Flow" or "Pilates for Beginners". It is selected from what you have set up in Settings → Studio → Group classes and Settings → Studio → Appointments. Choosing the right activity is the essence of scheduling, as it determines the session type, default duration, and how it appears to clients on the booking page.
Date and time The date and time of the session. When creating a session by tapping the calendar, this is prefilled based on the spot you tapped and the grid interval setting. Tapping it later opens the Reschedule window — see  Rescheduling a session .
Duration The length of the session. Prefilled automatically — first based on the Calendar Grid setting, and then overruled by the activity's default duration if one is set. Can be adjusted manually per session.
Instructor Selected from the list of instructors configured in Settings → Studio → Instructors.
Location Selected from the list of locations configured in Settings → Studio → Locations.
Comment A free text field for any notes about the session — visible to clients on Bobclass Go and the web booking page.
Participants Add clients to the session manually from here, or review who is already enrolled. The heading shows how full the session is against its capacity — for example Participants (1/8).
Attendance Mark each participant as attended or no-show. While it is best practice to do this after the session has ended, it can also be done in advance if needed.
Checkout Deduct credits from a client's active Class Pack or Membership, or use one of the other checkout options. While it is best practice to check out clients after the session has ended, it can also be done in advance if needed. See  Attendance and checkout .

Creating a parallel session

To run a second session in the same time slot as an existing one, tap the existing session, open the action menu, and select Duplicate in parallel.
This creates a session at exactly the same time as the original. The usual reason is two classes running side by side with different instructors — a Reformer class and a mat class at 18:00, say.
