Overriding the "Registrations Open" setting on a specific class

This guide explains how to override the Registrations open setting on a specific class or one-off event by relaxing the setting on the calendar or at creation.

📝 Overview

Registration timelines determine when customers can start booking classes or appointments through the Registrations open setting, which sets how far in advance a class type can be booked. Sometimes you'll want to open booking earlier for just one class or one-off event, and you can do this by relaxing the setting.

In this guide we'll cover how to override the Registrations open setting on an existing class and on a new one-off class.

🧠 In the example below, customers can start booking 45 days before the class or appointment starts.

Registrations open set to 45 days

You can override the Registrations open setting for specific classes or one-off events by relaxing the setting. There are two places where this override is available.

💡 For an overview of the Registrations open setting, see the guide here.


🗓️ Overriding on existing classes

You can relax the Registrations open setting on a single session of an existing class. To do this, head to your Calendar and follow the steps below.

🧠 You have a Class Type called HIIT, with a repeating slot at 8:00am Monday–Sunday. Registrations open 45 days before the class starts, but you'd like registrations for the class on the 12th of May to open now.

1. Go to your Calendar and click the relevant class (for example, the 12th May class).

2. Click Options Edit.

3. Tick Relax registrations open.

4. Save your changes.

Saving the relaxed setting

Once done, customers will be able to start booking this specific class immediately, overriding the 45-day Registrations open setting.


✨ Overriding on new one-off classes

If you need to schedule a one-off class within an existing Class Type, you can relax the Registrations open setting as you create the class.

🧠 You have a Kettlebells Class Type with a repeating schedule on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and you'd like to schedule a special one-off Kettlebells class on Thursday 2nd June and allow customers to start booking immediately.

To do this, create a new single session on the 2nd June from the Kettlebells Class Type and select the Relax option, as shown below.
