Using lesson and activity categories
Lesson and activity categories are an important part of your account setup and are used to:
Collate related products (lesson types) together at the time of purchase.
Control the availability of products.
Report the number of instructors required to teach booked lessons.
Control the size of group lessons. (Maximum customers per group.)
Act as the bridge between lessons booked for clients and instructor management via scheduled activities.
To manage your categories:
Navigate to Product Setup → Product Details → Categories tab
The following is an example category setup:
Ski Category
Private Ski Category
Group Ski Category
Snowboard Category
Private Snowboard Category
Group Snowboard Category
Please note that there are two levels of categories (parent and child category).
Following the points above, this example category setup would:
Allow a customer on your website interested in Private Ski lessons to filter lessons and more quickly find what they would like to book.
Let you control how many instructors are allocated to private versus group lessons, and ski versus snowboarding.
Allow you to quickly see the total number of ski and snowboard instructors needed to teach the lessons booked.
Let you control the size of group lessons; note if child group lessons have a different size to adult group lessons, a new category would need to be added.
Assist scheduling by comparing how many instructors are scheduled onto lessons with the number of instructors needed to teach the lessons booked.
Images set on the category will show on your booking widget.
