Please note: Adding additional team members is available on the Lite plan or above. The limit varies per subscription type.

This article covers:


What is a Leader?

A 'Leader' is the person responsible for running a class, course, or event. This feature enables you to limit access for leader-only team members, ensuring they can only view attendance registers for the events assigned to them.

It also allows leaders to create public profiles, providing customers with more information about the person hosting the event.


How to assign a Leader to an entry

First, you'll need to ensure that you have invited the leader as a team member on your account. Once invited, there are three ways to determine who will be the leader for an entry:

1. Assigning a leader to an entry

Open your entry settings and select the Information tab, then scroll down to the leader field:

Information tab of an entry with an arrow pointing at the leader field

A list of team members will appear for you to choose from. The list includes anyone you've invited as a team member on your team page, and you can select as many people as you like as the leaders.

Once you assign a leader to an entry, they will be the leader for all dates in the entry, including past dates and any new dates added at a later time.

2. Assigning a Leader to a specific date in your entry

To assign a team member to a specific date within an entry, navigate to your schedule, select the date, the drop-down arrow next to Edit entry, and choose Event-specific information:

Scheduling setup with an arrow pointing to the ‘Edit entry’ drop-down menu, highlighting where users can select ‘Event-specific information’ to update details for the selected date.

Once the event-specific information edit window opens, scroll to the bottom to the Override event leaders checkbox:

Event specific information screen showing the 'Override event leaders' setting.

Checking this box means you can remove or add new leaders for this date only. Any other dates in the entry will need to be edited separately and will not be affected by this change.

3. Editing the entries in the team member's account settings

💡 Please note this option is restricted to Account Owners only.

To edit the entries the leader is on, open your team page and locate the leader from your list of team members. Then select the edit 📝 icon to the right of your screen:

Team member screen with arrow pointing at the edit icon (pen and paper), showing users how to open a team members profile settings.

Then, from within their profile, select all the entries you wish this team member to be a leader on before selecting Save:

Team member setting with arrow pointing at the 'Select the entries you'd like this team member to be a leader on' field


Filtering by Leader

There are various places in the system where you can filter by the leader:

  1. Within the Filter items settings on your Scheduling page:

    • Filter your schedule by leader to review each leader's entry

    Scheduling page with arrow pointing at the 'Filter items' option at the top-right of the scheduling list.
    Filter items screen with arrow pointing at the 'Leaders' field.

    • Once applied, the selected leader(s) list of entries will appear in the scheduling list.

  2. On the Bookings tab.

    • Filter your bookings list to review bookings with a particular leader(s).

    Bookings tab with arrow pointing at the 'Leaders' field filter option.

    • Once applied, the selected leader(s) list of bookings will appear. Please note that only events from the Start date field will appear. If you wish to review over a certain period, please be sure to adjust the dates as needed.

  3. Creating filtered links and buttons for your public page.


Leader-only access

You can assign specific team members as leaders either when sending their account invites or by editing their roles on the team page.

Leaders have limited access, meaning they can manage their profile settings and view attendance registers only for the events they’ve been assigned to.

Example

In the below example, the team member has only been granted leader-level access and is assigned as a leader to the entry named "Cacti & Succulents":

This means that they have read-only access to the event information and attendance register and can only edit their profile.

For example:

Scheduling overview for a team member with leader access only. This page only shows the one entry assigned to them in their team settings, without the option to edit information.

The leader only has access to the attendance register in the current saved format (currently only available to account owners to edit).


Public profiles

If a leader completes and publishes their profile, it will appear on the public page alongside the entries they’re tagged in. This allows customers to learn more about the person running the event.

For example, when a customer selects the leader name under the entry name:

Public page with arrow pointing at highlighted leader name under the entry title

The leader's profile will open, where they can review their information:

Attendance register

Leaders can currently only view the attendance list; however, account owners can edit the booking fields shown. To do this, select the entry, then the Attendees button:

Scheduling screen with arrow pointing at the 'Attendees' button

Then select the pencil and paper icon 📝 in the top right-hand corner:

Attendee list screen with arrow pointing at the edit icon button in the top right-hand corner of the list.

You can customise the list to show the information that you'd like leaders to be able to view by selecting/deselecting each field and re-order the columns using the drag and drop icon to the left of each field:

✨ Remember to select the Save changes button before you exit.


How to start a Zoom meeting as a Leader

Leaders can start a Zoom meeting by logging into their account and the entry from the relevant scheduling page. Then, either select the Zoom ID on the event:

Scheduling page screen with arrow pointing at the Zoom ID link under the entry title

Or the Online event button:

Scheduling page screen with arrow pointing at the 'Online event' button.

Then select the Join Zoom Meeting button:

Alternatively, you can:

  • Log into the Zoom account and start the meeting from there, or

  • You can ask the account owner to share the Zoom details with you ahead of the call.
