Create a Group Class (How-To)

Article Details

A group class is a series of (dog/animal) training classes with pre-set dates. In this article, you will learn how to set up and create group classes.

Group classes in Gingr are designed to create a reservation per class. Pets should be checked in and out of each group class completed.

Field Guide

Setting Description Helpful Hint
Location  Select the correct location for the group class  
Reservation Type Choose the reservation type for the group class If you do not have a reservation type created for the group class click here
Package Type Choose the package type for the group class If you do not have a package type created for the group class click here
User Choose a user that will be responsible for this group class. When a user is assigned to a group class, an event will appear on the facility calendar with that users' name, and any specialties they perform will show an unavailable during the class sessions.
Commission  Enter a flat dollar commission amount that the user selected should receive for this class. This flat rate is per animal per class series (if series-based) or per class date (if open enrollment), paid out after each pet is checked out for their first reservation in the class.  Commission is assigned to the user assigned to the class after the first class session is checked out. The flat amount of the commission will be listed on the commission report next to the user's name, for each pet that is checked out.
Name  Name your group class here. We recommend including the dates and time of the group class in the title. 

Example: Basic Obedience - Friday @ 5:00pm (6/15-8/3)
Capacity Enter the maximum number of dogs who can enroll in the class. This will apply to each class date. (Capacity can be overridden later if you wish.)  
Open Enrollment

When enabled, the user enrolling a pet into the group class will be able to choose which dates they want to attend the group class when enrolling the pet.

If a package is assigned to the group class, the system will add the number of class dates selected as packages to the shopping cart. 

If open enrollment is enabled, the package associated with the class should only have 1 credit.
Should Customer Purchase Package in Portal?

If enabled, customers will be prompted to purchase the associated package to pre-pay for the program.  

This setting makes it so the purchase of the package is required before the customer can fully enroll in the group class. Applies to customer portal 2.0 only.
Description Enter a description for the group class, here! This will appear on your Group Class Page. You can add a photo to the description, after the text.
