Pods
Note: Group booking does not rely on particular instructors, but on pods. You can indicate in instructor schedules which instructors are assigned to group bookings during a time period.
Once Pod Preferences are defined, you are ready to define pods. Pods are the containers into which you book guests.
To add pods:
1. Go to SysManager > Activities > Lesson Lists > Pods. The Pods dialog is displayed.
2. Click the New button.
3. Enter a ten-character-or-less Nickname for the pod that is used for sorting pod information on reports.
4. Enter a twenty-five-character-or-less Description of this pod that appears in the pod list.
5. On the General Info tab, enter the Levels for this pod.
Note: The Pod’s Levels range must include the guest’s level to show up in the pod list during booking. Otherwise that pod is filtered out of the list. If no Pod Levels range is entered, all pods display in the list unless a particular Level is requested, and then no pods are listed.
6. Enter the Min Age of guests that qualify for this pod.
7. Enter the Max Age of guests that qualify for this pod.
Note: The age of the guest must fall between the Min Age and Max Age for the pod to be included in the Pod list to book this guest. This is the age of the guest when the guest visits, not currently.
Note: If you want to restrict a pod to a particular age, make sure you enter a range of X.00 – X.99.
Example:
If the restricted age is three years old, if you enter 3.00 as both the Min Age and Max Age, only children who are exactly three would be able to be booked. In this case, you would enter 3.00 and 3.99, respectively.
8. Enter any Notes that apply to this pod.
