Setting up classes

Create a class

Go to Classes in the top navigation and click Add class.
Enter a class name (e.g. "Beginners Karate", "Tuesday Choir").
Choose the class type: Children only, Adults only or Both.
Set an optional capacity (leave blank for no limit).
Click Save class.

Add a repeating schedule

Most classes run on a fixed weekly slot — Mondays 18:00, Saturdays 09:30. You set the slot once and Adminished generates the actual session for every week, forever, without you touching it again.

Open the class and scroll to the Schedule section.
Choose a day of the week (e.g. Tuesday).
Set start time and duration (e.g. 18:00, 1 hour).
Optionally pick a room (if you have rooms set up) — this prevents accidental double-booking.
Click Add slot. The slot starts repeating from today (or from a start date you set).

You can add multiple slots to the same class. A "Beginners Karate" class running both Tuesdays 18:00 and Saturdays 09:30 just gets two slots — students enrolled in the class can attend either or both.

What happens automatically each week

Every Monday morning Adminished pre-creates the upcoming week's sessions for every recurring slot — they appear on your Today view, the parent calendar, and any iCal feeds.
Parents enrolled in the class can report absences and pay drop-in fees against each session individually.
Attendance records, room bookings and badge awards all tie to the specific session, not the abstract weekly slot.

Seasonal / term classes

To run a class for a fixed number of weeks (e.g. a 10-week Sept–Dec term), set an end date on the slot. After that date the slot stops generating sessions, but everything before it stays on the record. To start a new term, add a fresh slot with a new start date.

Cancelling a single week

You don't need to delete and recreate the slot. Open Calendar → that session, click Cancel session, and pick whether to notify enrolled parents (recommended). The slot keeps generating future weeks as normal.

Moving a slot to a different day

If the venue forces you to switch from Tuesdays to Wednesdays going forward, edit the existing slot and change the day. Past sessions stay attached to the original Tuesday; new sessions roll over to Wednesday from your chosen change date.

Set age limits

In the class edit form, you can set a minimum and maximum age. Adminished warns you if you try to enrol a student outside that range — but it doesn't block the enrolment, so you can still use your judgement.

Pricing overrides

By default each class inherits your club's monthly and drop-in rates (set in Settings → Club). You can override these per class — useful for premium workshops, 1-on-1 sessions or discounted community classes.

Enrol students

From the class detail page, click Enrol a student to add someone to the class. Students can also be enrolled from their own student record.
