Setting up events
Special events, short term series and workshops should be added to the schedule under the Events Program. Unlike class-type programs that have all passes in the program valid for all classes by default, events allow and in fact require that you select the passes that will be valid for signing up for the event.
Note
Passes from any program can be marked as valid for an event. Therefore you could create a new pass especially for this event and set it as valid for the event. But you could also allow your monthly members to attend the event using their monthly membership pass. For multi-day events, passes can be valid for all days or only a certain numbers of days. You can use these and other powerful options when setting up which passes are valid for an event.
Steps to set up an event
- Open the Schedule then press the + Click to Schedule drop-down and select Events from the list.
- Create a new event type or select an existing event type from the Events Manager
- Press the Schedule button next to the event type that you would like to add to the schedule.
- Use the table below to setup the event the way you want it and then press the Schedule Now button to add the event to the schedule.

Setting the valid passes for an event
Once you have added your event to the schedule, the next step is to add the pass or passes you would like to be valid for the event.
Steps to set the valid passes for an event
- Locate the event you added in the Schedule
- Press the Edit button next to the event on the Schedule.
- On the popup window, press the Valid Passes button.
- Press the Enable Pass for the Pass or Passes of your choosing.
- Close the Valid Passes window and press the Update button.
Info
Pay scales can be applied either at the staff level or the session level. If a staff member has a pay scale applied to them and the session has a pay scale applied to it also, then the pay scale on the session will be applied to the staff member and not their default pay scale.
