Categories

Categories allow you to organize your classes into groupings so they are easier for your clients to find when registering online. Categories also allow you to assign discounts and package credits to a group of classes vs. having to add each class individually.

To add a new category:

1. Navigate to the Admin Module -> Setup -> Products & Services -> Classes page.
2. Click New Category.
3. Fill out the information for the new category.
4. Click Save.

To edit an existing category:

1. Navigate to the Admin Module -> Setup -> Products & Services -> Classes page.
2. Click on the category you wish to edit.
3. Make any needed changes to the category information.
4. Click Save.

Notes:

• The parent field allows you to create a category hierarchy for your classes.
• If you do not wish to create categories you can assign all of your classes to the All Classes category
