Classes are one-off or recurring events that allow customers to book a session from a preset timetable.
A "Class Type" separates what a Class is from its schedule. Think of types as templates. For example, you run Yoga classes in the morning and need to create an evening schedule. Instead of starting from scratch, you can head to your Yoga Class Type and simply add the evening hours.
In this guide we're going to take a look at how to create a Class Type, how to add a repeating time slot, and how to add a one-off session.
