SETUP REQUIREMENTS

  1. Log in to the admin dashboard.

  2. Go to the side menu and click SETTINGS > INSTRUCTOR SETTINGS > LESSON TYPES. A new page displays.

Creating types

The new page displays the default lesson types. To create a custom lesson type:

  1. Click the Create Lesson Type button.

  2. In the popup window, fill in the fields. (see below)

  3. Click Save.

Fill in the fields

  • Name - Enter a unique name for the lesson type. This name is visible on the scheduler and (if enabled) member portal.

  • Min / Max Reservation Time in Minutes - Set the smallest and largest block of time (in minutes) that can be booked for this lesson type.

  • Duration increment - If a member/player wants to book a lesson time greater than the default duration, this number defines how much time (in minutes) can be added per increase.

  • Default Duration - The standard length before a member/player adds time.

  • Min / Max Number of Players - Require a certain number of players for this lesson type. Use this feature to implement booking restrictions.

  • Apply Min / Max Rule based on # of Court - If enabled, the minimum and maximum added will apply to each court added to a lesson rather than being an overall minimum and maximum. (For example, if two courts are added to a lesson, the minimum for the lesson type below would be 8, and the maximum would be 12).

  • Tax Rate - Optionally, click the click field and apply a pre-configured tax (Settings > Billing Settings > Taxes) to the lesson fees.

Colors

  • Background Color - Change the color that displays on the scheduler/calendar.

  • Text Color - Change the text color on the scheduler/calendar.

Other settings

  • Require Court? - Use this box to allow or disallow the use of a court during a lesson. The default setting is enabled. CourtReserve assigns a court when a user creates a lesson on the scheduler.

  • Allow Rental(s) - If checked, the lesson owner can add a ball machine (or other equipment) to bookings with this lesson type.

  • Custom Fields - Collect unique information about the members/players during lesson registration. Click to learn about custom fields.

  • Revenue Category - Optionally, click the field and select a pre-configured category (Settings > Billing Settings > Revenue Categories) to save time when running financial reports.

  • Is Active - The default setting is checked, which means the lesson type is active and available.

Managing lesson types

CourtReserve shows all lesson types in a table. Click the Edit icon to update a type and Delete to remove a row from the table. To change the order of lesson types, click an icon and drag the row to a new location.

We recommend keeping the lesson type Unavailable so system users can block off instructor time for club activities (e.g. attend meetings, off-court events, PTO, etc.).
