Adding Items to a Package

To add items to a package click on the package name. In the edit window, you can see how many items are currently in this package. To view the items, click on 'View Items'. To add more items, click 'Add Items'. There is no limit to the number of individual items each package may contain. Each item is a 'credit' for a particular service your clients can register for.

The items will be added individually to the package. Each time you click on 'Add Items', you are adding another 'credit' for that package and specifying what that credit may be used for.

For example: if you are setting up a class package you can add 3 items (classes) to that package. The first time you can click on 'Add Items' and choose your level 1 class, then you would click on 'Add Items' again and choose your level 2 class, the third time you would choose your level 3 class.

If you are setting up a private training package you may want to add 5 items (credits) to the package. Each may be valid for only one type of 'sign-up option' or you can check all of the 'sign-up options' and the client may choose which one they want to use each credit for.
