Field Guide

Setting Description Helpful Hint
Location Select the location for the group class.
Reservation Type Choose the reservation type for the group class. If you have no reservation type for the group class, see Create a Group Class Reservation Type.
Package Type Choose the package type for the group class. If you have no package type for the group class, see Create a Package for Group Classes.
User Choose the user responsible for this group class. When you assign a user, an event with their name shows on the facility calendar. Any specialties they perform show as unavailable during the class sessions.
Commission Enter a flat dollar commission amount for the user. This flat rate is per animal per class series if series-based, or per class date if open enrollment. Gingr pays it after each pet checks out for their first reservation in the class. Commission goes to the assigned user after the first class session is checked out. The flat amount shows on the commission report next to the user's name for each pet that checks out.
Name The name of your group class. Include the dates and time in the title. For example: Basic Obedience - Friday @ 5:00pm (6/15-8/3).
Capacity The maximum number of dogs that can enroll. This applies to each class date. You can override capacity later.
Open Enrollment When on, the user who enrolls a pet chooses which dates the pet attends. If a package is assigned to the class, Gingr adds the number of selected class dates as packages to the shopping cart. If open enrollment is on, the package for the class should only have 1 credit.
Should Customer Purchase Package in Portal? If on, customers are asked to buy the package to pre-pay for the program. This makes buying the package required before the customer can fully enroll in the class. Applies to Customer Portal 2.0 only.
Description A description of the group class. It shows on your Group Class Page. You can add a photo to the description, after the text.
