How to change a class name

This guide explains how to rename a single class, rename an entire Class Type, and what your options are for a repeating time slot.

Written by Costa Bontioti

📝 Overview

There are two ways to change a class name: on an individual class, or on the whole Class Type. This guide covers both, plus what to do if you need to give a repeating time slot a new name.

✍️ Change the Name of an Individual Class

Renaming an individual class changes the name for that specific date and time only. Any other classes under the same Class Type are unaffected.

🧠 You have an SGPT Class Type. The September 29 class is a special beginner session, so you want to rename just that one class to "SGPT for Beginners".

  1. Head to your Calendar.
    ​

  2. Click the class you want to rename.
    ​

  3. Click Options ➜ Edit.
    ​

  4. Update the name field.
    ​

  5. Click Save.

🔁 Change the Name of an Entire Class Type

Renaming a Class Type changes the name of every class scheduled under it, including future sessions.

🧠 You have a Trapeze Class Type and want every class under it to read "Trapeze for Beginners" instead.

  1. Head to Events ➜ Classes ➜ Class Types.
    ​

  2. Click on the desired Class Type.
    ​

  3. Edit the class name field.
    ​

  4. Save your changes.

⛔️ Renaming a Time Slot

It is not possible to rename a single time slot within a Class Type on its own.

⛔️ If you need every class in one time slot to carry a different name than the rest of the Class Type, cancel that time slot and re-add it as a separate Class Type with the desired name.

In the example below, you would not be able to rename just the Monday slot. You would need to cancel that slot and create a new Class Type with the desired name and schedule.

⚠️ Cancelling a time slot removes any customers registered for upcoming classes on it. They will need to re-register for the new class.

💡 See the guides here for cancelling a time slot, and here for setting up a new Class Type and schedule.

Can I rename a repeating time slot on its own?

Click the arrow to see the answer

No. A time slot cannot be renamed independently. If a time slot needs its own name, cancel it and re-add it as a separate Class Type with the desired name.

If I rename a Class Type, does it update classes that already have a custom name?

Click the arrow to see the answer

Classes that have already been individually edited keep their custom name and are not overwritten by a Class Type name change. Only classes still using the Class Type's default name will update.

Does renaming a single class affect the rest of its time slot?

Click the arrow to see the answer

No. Renaming an individual class only changes that specific date and time. The rest of the classes in the same time slot are unaffected.
