How to Manage Class Schedules and Time Slots on SPARK MINDS Calendars
Effectively managing class schedules on SPARK MINDS calendars is crucial for maintaining an organized booking system. This article provides step-by-step instructions for updating, adding, and removing classes and time slots, as well as addressing platform-specific challenges.
Overview of Class Scheduling in SPARK MINDS
The SPARK MINDS Calendar is designed for flexibility and requires manual adjustments to maintain up-to-date schedules. This includes creating, modifying, or removing class time slots as needed. Note that updates to class schedules on the roster are not automatically synchronized with the Spark Calendar.
Adding and Updating Class Time Slots
Follow these steps to add or change time slots for specific classes:
Access the Calendar: Open the relevant SPARK MINDS calendar for the class group (e.g., Teens or Beginners).
Edit Calendar Settings: - Click on "Edit" within the calendar interface. - Update details such as calendar names or descriptions, if needed.
Modify or Add Time Slots: - Locate the relevant section for time slots. - Update existing times or add new slots as appropriate. - Once completed, ensure you save or publish changes so they reflect correctly on booking pages.
Manual Updates: For changes related to a pre-existing roster, manually add or adjust slots on the SPARK Calendar. Adjustments made to the roster elsewhere do not automatically sync with the calendar.
Removing Classes from Calendars
To remove a specific class, follow these steps:
Open the Relevant Calendar: Navigate to the calendar where the class is scheduled.
Locate the Class: Search for the class you want to remove (e.g., a recurring class like 'Little Ninjas').
Manually Delete Entries: Remove the class from all future time slots individually. Remember, SPARK users are responsible for managing their schedules, and these changes must be handled manually.
Device-Specific Tips for Apple Users
If you are using an Apple device without a traditional right-click option:
Perform a 'right-click' action by clicking your touchpad with two fingers.
This action lets you access editing options on the SPARK MINDS platform for managing time slots effectively.
