Overview: Creating an entry

An entry can be one event or a recurring series, such as multiple singular dates or a course. If you have many different events, you may wish to split them into separate entries to keep them organised.

To add a new entry, navigate to your Scheduling tab and select Add a new entry.

Scheduling screen with an arrow pointing to the 'Add a New Entry' button, indicating where to click to add a new entry to the schedule.

Each entry contains six tabs:

For example:

Entry setup screen highlighting the different tab options: information, location, dates & times, tickets & costs, booking form and more options.


Information

You can include important details about your event in this section.

Main Details

Breakdown of each section:

Title

The name of your event/series of events.

Description

This appears in your event's 'details' section on your public page:

Public page screen with an arrow pointing to the bottom-right, indicating where information is displayed to the public.

It should contain more information for your customers to learn about the event.

Attendee instructions

This appears in your event's 'instruction' section on your public page to inform your attendees of any additional information:

Public page screen with an arrow pointing to the bottom-right, indicating where attendee instructions are displayed to the public.

Please note: We do not include this information in the confirmation email that your customers receive after booking.

Event image

Use this section to add any images to your entry that will appear on your event on the public page:

Public page screen with an arrow pointing to the top-right, indicating where the event image is displayed to the public.

Event attachments

You can upload an attachment here or choose an existing document from your attachments page.

Leaders

Assign a Leader to your entry (this could be the lead instructor/team member of the event).

This text appears on the booking complete screen and in the email that your customer receives after booking.

Entry setup section highlighting the booking confirmation field where users can customise the text included in the confirmation emails that their customers receive.


Additional details

You can find the Additional details section at the bottom of the Information section.

Entry setup section highlighting the additional details fields where users can customise the entry. Including: Tags, age range, gender restriction and levels.

Add tags, an age range restriction, gender restriction and level.

Tags

If you enter a tag to your entry, it will enable you to group entries together, filter your public pages and apply discounts to specific event types.

💡 Please note: We do not display your tags on your public page. They are for internal use and filtering only.

Age range

If you input an age range in either months or years, this will appear publically on your entry in the following format, for example:

Public page screen with an arrow pointing to the top-right, indicating where the age range is displayed to the public, i.e. 2 to 10 years.

Gender restriction

No restriction will appear on your event if you select No restriction.

Levels

The available advisory levels are currently Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced.

💡 Please note:

The system does not enforce age or gender restrictions. You may wish to add mandatory booking form fields to request that your customers understand the restriction and re-verify their age/gender and what this means (if their answer does not fall into the restriction criteria).


Location

This section informs your attendees where your event will take place. You can choose between a Physical location, an Online event location or No location.

Entry location setup screen, indicating the top section where users can choose location type: Physical, online or no location.

💡 You can only select one location per entry.


To find your location, start typing the address in the search for location field:

Entry location setup screen with an arrow pointing at the 'Search for location' field, indicating where users can type the address for Google to search.

The Google Maps integration will give you several options, which you can select by selecting the right one.

If you're unable to find your address, you can manually add it by selecting Enter address manually:

Entry location setup screen with an arrow pointing at the ‘Enter address manually’ button, indicating where users can click to bypass Google and add the address manually.

Enter the address in the fields:

Entry location setup screen highlighting the fields users can use for their manually added address. Including: Location name, address lines 1 & 2, city, state/region and postal code.

You can then decide if you want to show a map on your entry by ticking/unticking Show location on a map?:

Entry location setup screen with an arrow pointing at the 'Show location on a map' checkbox, indicating where users can click to display their location on a map to the public.

You enter any additional information your attendees may need to know about your location:

Entry location setup screen highlighting the 'Venue details' checkbox options and additional details field, including: changing facilities, lockers, parking, baby changing, showers, towels, creche, and toilets.


Dates & Times

This section is where you can determine the date, time and duration of your event(s).

Use the date selector to set the date, time, and duration.

If your event is a recurring series, e.g. a class that takes place every Monday, you can select the checkbox - Is this a repeating event? 

Entry dates & times setup screen with an arrow pointing at the ‘Is this a repeating event’ checkbox, indicating where users can set up a recurring schedule.

This will open fields for you to select the frequency, day and duration of the repetition. Once you have completed these fields, your series will automatically populate the schedule.

You can restrict when an event becomes visible on the schedule by selecting Hide events in the future? checkbox:

Entry dates & times setup screen with an arrow pointing at the ‘Hide events in future’ checkbox, indicating where users can set up public schedule visibility.

After selecting this, you can adjust how long the event will stay hidden and prevent customers from booking too far in advance:

Entry dates & times setup screen showing the ‘Hide events in future’ options, including: how long before the event should it be revealed.

💡 Important notes:

  • You cannot attach dates/times/durations to tickets. This means that any tickets you list will be available across all of the dates and times you set up within this section.

  • You may need to reschedule individual events in this series in the future. You can learn how to do this here.


Tickets & Costs

The Tickets & Costs section allows you to create the required ticket(s) for your event.

First, set your event capacity in the field under Maximum event size:

And then how many tickets customers can purchase in each booking for this event under Maximum tickets per booking:

Entry tickets & costs setup screen with an arrow pointing at the ‘maximum tickets per booking’ field where users can set booking capacity.

You can leave both of these fields empty if you have an unlimited capacity and wish to allow customers to book as many tickets as they choose.

Tickets

To create a ticket, select the Create ticket button:

Arrow pointing at the 'Create ticket' button, showing users where to click to create their ticket.

Add a ticket name and any relevant details, set a price and how many tickets of this type are available (leave blank if you'd like the system to automatically adjust this number to the capacity limits set):

Payment options

You can find the payment options section at the bottom of the Tickets & Costs page:

Here, you have the option to select between the following options:

Booking options

You can limit the number of tickets a customer can book per event date/time in a booking:

Entry tickets & costs setup screen highlighting the ‘maximum tickets per booking’ setting, indicating where users can specify the maximum number of tickets a customer can purchase from this entry in one booking.

For example, '1' means your customer can only book 1 attendee on this event per booking.

The form is split into three sections:
