Choose Class type before setting up pricing. See Workshop vs Course if you are unsure which format to use.
Create the draft#
- Go to Admin > Classes and select Add Class. If the list is empty, the button may say Create Class.
- In Create class draft, enter a name, choose Class type (Standard class, Workshop, or Course), and choose a Planned run such as Ongoing, Fixed term, Seasonal or One-off, where available for that type.
- Select Create draft. Naayya opens the new class so you can finish its details, schedule and pricing.
If Classes is not in your sidebar, an owner or manager can switch it on in Admin > Settings > Offerings. See Switch offerings on and off.
If a class with the same name exists, review the warning. You can open the existing class or deliberately create another draft. The draft is not bookable until it is published.
Describe the class#
Give the class a clear Name and a short description of what customers will do. Add a Sub-heading if it helps explain the level or format. Choose a Category to help customers browse related classes; Categories explains how to manage them.
One session can have its own name, sub-heading, image or description. Under This session, click the value beside Content: it says Same as the class until you change it, then Customized. Reset to the class in that dialog undoes it.
Add a class image and preview the crop on its card and booking page. Keep important faces or text away from the edges. The upload control shows accepted file formats and size limits.
Tags are internal labels used by business workflows such as reporting and instructor pay. They are not a substitute for public Categories. Add a tag only when it has a clear purpose for your business; customers do not use tags to browse classes.
Choose instructors and a location#
Choose the Instructors and Location on the class page. Every session is created from these defaults, so a class needs an instructor, a location and a resource before you can schedule it. A resource is the place the class runs in, such as a room, space, court, field, lane or pool area. Its capacity is the class size until you set one; see Class size. If you cannot choose an instructor, check the person's staff page in Admin > Settings > Staff, including the Instructor tab. See Managing Locations for locations and spaces.
Choices filled in for you#
When you open a new class, a draft with no sessions yet, Naayya chooses the instructor, location and resource for you where your business has only one obvious option:
- The instructor, when your business has one active instructor.
- The location, when your business has one active location.
- The resource, when the chosen location has only one place a class can run in.
It only fills fields that are empty, and only once when you open the class. Nothing you already chose is replaced, and you can change every choice. If your business has more than one option, you choose.
Location and resource#
Select the Location row to open Location and resource. Choose a Default location, then a Default resource. Each resource option shows its name, its type and its capacity, for example Squash Court 1 · Court (capacity 4).
If the chosen location has no place a class can run in, the dialog shows a short form. Enter a Name, choose a Type and a Capacity, then select Add resource. Naayya adds it to the location and selects it for the class. If your business has no locations yet, the dialog links to Add a location.
Use one class or separate listings#
Use one class with several scheduled sessions when they share the same description and offering. Create separate classes when customers should see different listings, such as two workshops with different names or images. Classes of different sizes can share one room: set each class's size rather than adding the room twice. A course is a defined run whose purchase and booking behavior differs from separate workshop sessions; compare the formats before setting one up.
When the draft is ready, schedule and publish it.
