Getting started

Installing & upgrading

Requirements & compatibility

The extension is built for and will only work in conjunction with Adobe Commerce and Magento 2. Specifically, the extension is compatible with the 2.4.x branch

The Class Manager extension is compatible with PHP 7.3 - 8.2, however, as of version 1.3.0, the iCal library (responsible for the "add to calendar" links) no longer works with PHP 7.3. If you need to use PHP 7.3, we recommend disabling Add to Calendar functionality.

Installing

Upon purchasing a license, the extension will be installed for free by one of our expert developers.

Upgrading

To upgrade the extension to the latest version, navigate to your Magento root directory and run the following commands:

php -d memory_limit=-1 composer.phar require staylime/classmanager
php bin/magento setup:upgrade
php bin/magento setup:di:compile
php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy
php bin/magento cache:clean

Disabling

You can disable the extension using native Magento commands.

To disable the extension:

php -d memory_limit=-1 composer.phar require staylime/classmanager
php bin/magento setup:di:compile

Similarly, to re-enable it:

php bin/magento module:enable --clear-static-content Staylime_ClassManager
php bin/magento setup:di:compile
php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy
php bin/magento cache:clean
                                
If you have any modules that are dependent on the extension you will need to disable those either beforehand or at the same time.

Uninstalling

You can uninstall the extension using native Magento commands.

We recommend that this only be done by an experienced Magento 2 developer.

To uninstall the extension (and create backups in case anything goes wrong):

php bin/magento module:uninstall Staylime_ClassManager --backup-code --backup-media --backup-db
If you have any extensions that are dependent on the extension you will have to uninstall those at the same time.

Unit Tests

To ensure the stability and reliability of the extension, we have built unit tests for core functions. Running the unit tests after upgrading the extension (or Magento or any other extension) will verify the internal structure of the extension.

The extension unit tests do not support testing of Magento core functionality such as placing orders, nor do they test compatibility with other extensions or themes. These will all need to be tested manually.

To run the unit tests, navigate to your Magento root directory and run the following command:

php vendor/phpunit/phpunit/phpunit -c dev/tests/unit/phpunit.xml.dist
vendor/staylime/classmanager/Test/Unit/

Companion extensions

The following extensions can be used to enhance the extension’s functionality.

GraphQL

The extension can be made PWA-compatible with the addition of the GraphQL module. To install from packagist, run the following command:

composer require staylime/classmanager-graphql
In-store payment

If you will be having employees register customers for classes you may want to provide a special payment option for them to use when payment for the class will not take place on the website (for example on an in-store POS). The following module will allow them to checkout without providing payment details. (The Purchase Location report can help you track these transactions.)

  • In-Store Payment To install, run the following CLI commands
composer config repositories.toddlininger/storepayment vcs [email protected]:toddliningerdesign/magento-store-payment.git
composer require toddlininger/storepayment
Payment method restrictions

If you will be offering your employees an in-store payment method (see above), you’ll need to restrict access to it so that regular customers are unable to use it. Both of these are good options:

Supply list downloads

These extensions allow you to attach files to products, which, in the context of the extension, is most commonly used to provide downloadable supply lists.

We have also created a free add-on module that works with version 1.8.0+ and the Mageworx extension that allows you to include product attachments in the extension emails!

To install the module, run the following CLI commands:

composer config repositories.toddlininger/classattachments vcs [email protected]:toddliningerdesign/magento-class-attachments.git
composer require toddlininger/classattachments
Templates for commonly used custom options

If you have one or more custom options that are used across all of your classes (like a comments field or class policy consent), you may want to consider installing an extension to help manage those. We recommend:

Danger Zone

Flush Email Queue
Type: button

Clicking this button (and clicking OK to the subsequent warning message) will delete all currently scheduled Event Management“ emails including Zoom links, reminders, and surveys.

This can also be achieved by running the CLI command:: bin/magento classmanager:flushemailqueue
WARNING: we do not recommend flushing the email queue on a production website. This functionality is meant to prevent emails queued in your production environment from being sent out when you've cloned your production website to a staging or development environment.

Permissions (User Roles)

Class Manager provides flexibility when it comes to user role permissions. Here are some example use cases:

  • Instructors: you can allow your instructors to view (and optionally export) rosters (though unfortunately there's no way to restrict rosters by instructor). You can choose whether they have the additional capability of modifying and/or deleting individual registrations.
  • Marketing Manager: you can allow your marketing manager to view and export Survey Responses and the Customer Classes report.
  • Accountant: you can allow your accountant access to the Purchase Location report so they can view whether purchases were made by an employee or by the customer themselves.
  • Restricting Roster Changes: leaving TL Class Manager > Main Group > Rosters > Edit Registrations > Full Edit unchecked will restrict roster editing to the Quantity and Notes fields. If checked, users will have full editing capabilities.

You can set user role resources by going to System > Permissions > User Roles in Magento.

Translating Event Management

Overview

As of version 1.4.0), almost all frontend and email text (as well as some backend text) can be translated or customized using standard Magento i18n translation files.

The one area that cannot be translated is the frontend calendar's UI, as seen in this image:

The language files are structured in typical CSV format with the default text on the left side of a comma, and your translated on the right. If there is a space in the phrase, the phrase needs to be surrounded by double quotation marks. To change a phrase, edit the text on the right side of the comma and leave the text on the left side exactly how it is.

When you see a word preceeded by %, that is a placeholder for a variable that will be inserted. Do not change the name of these variables.

Here is an example of the file structure, using a few lines from the default language file:

Class,Class
“Registrant Name”,“Registrant Name”
“Registrant Email”,“Registrant Email”
“%fieldName is a required field.”,“%fieldName is a required field.”
“You have no upcoming classes.”,“You have no upcoming classes.”

The full list of translatable phrases can be found in staylime/classmanager/i18n/en_US.csv.

Other Languages

To translate all Event Management phrases to another language, place your language's translation file (e.g. nl_NL.csv for Dutch), in app/design/[AREA]/[THEME_VENDOR]/[THEME_NAME]/i18n/ and re-deploy static content using the command php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy -f nl_NL.

Note that if you are using Magento's native Blank theme — or a theme that inherits from Blank — you will need to place your translation files in app/i18n/[THEME_NAME]/[lang_lang]/[lan_LOC.csv] instead.

Refer to Magento's documentation to learn more about translating extension text into other languages.

Customizing Text

Even if you're not translating all Event Management phrases into another language, it is also possible to customize the phrases used throughout the extension. For example, you might want to change the word Class to Workshop or Webinar.

You can achieve this by copying the staylime/classmanager/i18n/en_US.csv file to your theme folder (app/design/frontend/[THEME_VENDOR]/[THEME_NAME]/i18n/) and customizing it there. Do not make changes directly to staylime/classmanager/i18n/en_US.csv as they will be overwritten when the extension is upgraded.

Refer to Magento's documentation to learn more about overriding default strings.

Emails Event Management

Event Management for Magento 2 could arguably be considered a CRM (Customer Relationship Manager) because of all of the communication that it handles. Below is an overview of all Event Management emails. Every email can be enabled/disabled via the extension's configuration settings.

Note: no emails are sent to customers whose registration status is Reserved or Canceled at the time the email is triggered. The only email a customer whose registration status is Wait List will receive is the Wait List Confirmation email.

You can monitor all Event Management emails by setting a BCC address in the configuration settings.

Registration Confirmation

When a customer registers for a session (or an employee registers a customer on their behalf) an email will be sent to the email address given in the registration confirming that they have been registered.

The Registration Confirmation email will only be sent once a customer's registration status reaches the Active state. If the registration remains in Reserved status (i.e. unpaid) then the email will not be sent.

An order comment is added when this email has been sent.

The default Registration Confirmation email includes the following information:

  • Event Details:
    • Event title (with link to webpage)
    • Session date and time
    • Instructor's name
    • Location name
    • Location address
    • Location phone number
  • Registration Details:
    • Registrant name
    • Registrant email
    • Registrant phone
  • Product attachments/downloads (more info)
  • Class Policy (if not blank)

Customer Opt-Out

As of version 1.6.0, customers have the ability to opt out of specific Event Management emails. Customers are opted into all of them by default, but if they'd like to opt out, they can go to the new Contact Preferences tab in their account. To minimize accidental opt outs, there is no unsubscribe link in the emails themselves; the only way to opt out is to visit the Contact Preferences page.

Customers have the option to individually opt out of (or opt back into) the following emails:

  • Registration Confirmation
  • Waitlist Confirmation
  • Reminders
  • Changes
  • Cancelations
  • Zoom Join Links
  • Surveys

Each email listed has a brief description of its purpose, and at the top of the page there is also the following message encouraging them to remain subscribed:

THESE ARE NOT MARKETING MESSAGES; the purpose of them is to convey information about specific classes and events that you have either registered for or otherwise expressed interest in, so we highly recommend receiving all of them.

In addition, when they click the Update Preferences button, they will be presented with a confirmation dialog again urging them to remain subscribed:

The confirmation dialog will only be shown if they are opting out of one or more emails. If the customer is opting in to all emails, the preferences will be saved without showing the confirmation dialog.

Once the contact preferences have been saved, the customer will see a message confirming that a change was made.

Contact preferences for employee accounts are disabled, so emails for classes and events registered through employee accounts will always be sent.

Viewing and Managing Customer Preferences

As of version 2.2.0, admins have the ability to view and manage customer contact preferences in the backend. To do so, open a customer's account record in Magento (Customers > All Customers) and click on the Event Management Contact Preferences tab.

As mentioned above, emails for classes and events registered through employee accounts will always be sent, so any changes to contact preferences for employee accounts will be ignored.

Attaching Downloads

Oftentimes you may want to provide supply lists, printable templates or other files for your customers to download for your event. Event Management doesn't support this inherently, so we recommend the Mageworx Product Attachments and File Downloads extension for this.

Now, as of version 1.8.0, links to these files can be included in Event Management emails! In order to include them in your emails, please refer to the following requirements.

Requirements

  • The Mageworx Product Attachments and File Downloads extension must be purchased and installed.
  • The free add-on module must be installed.
  • The Include links to product downloads in emails option must be enabled in the Event Management configuration.
  • The Add files in 'New Order' emails option for the MageWorx extension must be enabled either globally or for the file(s) you want to attach.
  • If using custom email templates, make sure the necessary code block (below) is present.
Code for Email Template

Note that the downloads block title and CSS can be adjusted as needed in your custom email template.

                                                                        	
{{if attachments}}                               	
<table class="full-width" style="margin-top: 10px;">                                    	
    <tr>                                     	
        <td>                                   	
            <div class="tl_attach_wrap" style="border: 2px solid #ecde11; border-radius:6px; padding:0 1em;">

        </td>
    </tr>
</table>
{{/if}}
                                

Here's what the block looks like with the default formatting:

Support

  • Compatibility with Magento core code and Luma theme
  • Limited compatibility fixes for third-party extensions and themes
  • Fixes for any functionality issues and bugs
  • Answering any questions or concerns relating to the extension

  • Support and development not directly related to the CM extension
These services can be provided at an additional cost.

Classes & sessions

Class products

Creating a new class

The extension adds a new product type to Magento called "Class Reservation". You can create a new class product by either pressing the arrow next to the Add Product button on the Products grid and selecting "Class Reservation", or by pressing "Add New Class" at the top of the Sessions grid.

Supply all of the usual required product details such as title, SKU, price, visibility, categories, images, descriptions, etc.

Tip: if you want to link to the list of available sessions from anywhere else on the page, you can use the #product-reservation-form anchor (as of 1.5.0).

Class sessions tab

The Class Sessions tab is where you’ll create and manage all of your sessions for a class. See Class sessions for more details.

Class details tab

The Class Details tab is used for product-specific settings and contains only two options:

  • This is a Special Event Yes|No Set this option to "Yes" to mark this class as a special event. This allows for filtering and highlights these events in certain areas of the website.
  • Text for No Sessions (text field) This field can be used to change the default text that’s shown when no sessions are available. The default is Registration for this class is no longer available, (however the default can be changed as well in CM settings).
  • Zoom Meeting Description (text field) This description is only shown when you view your meeting within your Zoom account and if Zoom sends users emails about the meetings. If you've disabled the native Zoom emails then it won't do much, but it's there if you need it.

Customizable options

You can add custom options to class registrations under the Customizable Options tab. Whatever options you enter here will show on the registration form. Some common options include:

  • Checkbox indicating agreement to terms
  • Text field indicating make and model of your equipment (sewing machine, camera, etc.)
  • Text field for other comments or requests (seating preferences, accommodation requests, etc.)
  • Drop-down selection of meal preferences
  • Checkbox indicating the supply list was downloaded

Supply list downloads

Prerequisites
File Attachments and Product Downloads extension must be installed.

Using the File Attachments and Product Downloads extension you can assign files, such as PDF supply lists, to the product. The download links will show up in a tab on the product page and can also be attached to order emails. They are not included in the extension’s emails yet, but we have plans to add that.

Deleting a Class

You can delete class products in the same way that you would delete any product, but keep in mind the following:

  • When you delete a class, all sessions and rosters associated with it will also be deleted. If necessary, be sure to save copies of rosters (either exported to CSV or printed) before deleting.
  • Be careful that you aren't deleting classes that have active sessions — especially those that span multiple weeks or months.

Category Widgets

There are two widgets that can be added to the top of product category pages. To add these widgets, browse to the category to which you want to add them in the backend, expand the Class Manager tab, and toggle Show Info Block to Yes.

Here are examples of the widgets in the default Luma theme:

Links to class calendars

This displays links to all filtered class calendar views as well as an "All Locations" calendar view (not category specific).

List of upcoming classes and events

This lists the next few upcoming classes and events (not category specific).

Product grid filters

The extension adds two new columns to the Magento Products grid:

Instructors

You can filter class products by instructor by entering an instructor’s name (or part of it) into the "Instructors" filter field. You can also sort by instructor. This can help you find certain classes right from the Products grid.

Special Event

You can filter and sort your class products by whether they are marked as a special event or not.

Wish List Support

Because of the always changing nature of sessions, specific class sessions cannot be added to customer wish lists, however the class product itself can still be added. The customer can then click on the product from their wish list and choose from the current session offerings.

Class sessions

Sessions are at the heart of Event Management. A session is a combination of a location, instructor and one or more times, creating a unique moment in time and space!

Some classes only offer a single session; others may offer many session options in different locations and at different times. A single session can also consist of a single date and time, or span multiple dates and times

Adding & Editing Sessions

Prerequisites

Locations must be added in advance.

Instructors must be added in advance.

New sessions are added under the “Class Sessions” tab on the product editing page (they can also be imported). Open the tab and press the Add New Session button to create a new session. Once you've created some sessions, you can grab the handle on the left and drag and drop to reorder them. You can also click the trash can icon on the right to delete them.

Under no circumstances should sessions be recycled. If a session date, time or location changes, that’s fine, but reusing one session for a completely different session will only cause headaches.

No changes will be saved until the product “Save” button is pressed.

When creating or editing a session, this is what an expanded session panel looks like:

Status

Session status can be one of four states:

  • Active — session is enabled for registration or waitlisting (dependent upon capacity)
  • Inactive — session is disabled for registration (will not be displayed to customers)
  • Canceled — set session status to “Canceled” to close registration and notify registrants by email (see Cancelations for more details)
  • Completed — session date/time has passed and session is considered complete (set automatically)
The default state is Active.
Store View

If desired, sessions can be limited by store view. Select the Store View in which you want the session to be available. (When Magento is in Single Store Mode this option will not be available.)

Default: All Store Views
Location

A location for the session must be selected from the dropdown list. (The location must be added before it can be selected.) See Locations.

Default: Either the first alphabetical name, or the location selected as the default for importing sessions.
Instructor

An instructor for the session must be selected from the dropdown list. (The instructor must be added before it can be selected.) See Instructors.

Default: Either the first alphabetical name, or the instructor selected as the default for importing sessions.
Dates & times

You can associate as many date/time combinations as you want with each session. It is common for sessions to only have one date and time. Or you may have a session that spans several days, weeks or months. When the session spans more than one date, make sure to add a new row for each date. Unless you plan to keep partying through the night, then by all means, go for it!

The only repitition that is currently supported is consecutive dates. If you need to skip one ore more days in your series you will need to add the non-consecutive dates manually. We hope to add more options for repeating events in a future version.
Seats available

This is the number of spots that will be available for the session. Once this number is reached, registration will be closed, but customers will be able to add their names to a wait list (if enabled) in case any spots open up.

Price adjustment

The base price is set as the product price, but if one session will cost more (or less) than the rest, an adjustment can be entered here. This can be any positive or negative decimal-based integer.

Session notes

You can enter text that may be helpful to the customer and it will be diplayed in parentheses on the front end. For example, you may want to list the day(s) of the week that the class is on. Just don’t get too wordy, or it will clutter the registration options.

Survey

As of version 1.2.3, you have the option to choose which survey will be sent when the session is over. If no change is made, the default survey will be sent.

Default: the default survey chosen in survey configuration.

Deleting Sessions

When you delete a session, the associated roster is also deleted, so be careful. THERE IS NO UNDO! Export or print any rosters you would like to keep before deleting the sessions.

You can delete a session by clicking on the trash can icon in the header of the session panel.

Sessions will not be deleted until the product "Save" button is pressed.

Note that Zoom sessions that have one or more active registrations can only be deleted if the End Date has passed.

With the proper user permissions, you can also delete sessions in bulk by checking the checkboxes on the Sessions grid next to the sessions you want to delete and choosing Delete from the Actions dropdown menu.

Session changes

As of version 1.0.13, changes to a session’s location, date or time will trigger an automatic email sent to all current registrants notifying them of the change. If a customer has already added the session to their calendar using the “Add to Calendar” link, they will need to remove the old calendar entry and download and import the updated iCal file. A brief notice regarding this as well as a link to the updated iCal file will be included in the session change email.

Session cancelations

To cancel a class session, change the session’s Status to Canceled (see Editing Sessions). When a session is canceled, an email is sent to all current registrants notifying them of the cancelation.

The extension does not initiate refunds. Refunds, if applicable, will need to be manually processed.

Importing sessions

Prerequisites

Class Products must exist before importing.

Locations must exist before importing.

Instructors must exist before importing.

Because of the complexity of adding Zoom sessions, Zoom sessions cannot be imported. If any sessions in your CSV specify a Zoom-enabled location your import will fail.

Sessions can be imported via CSV file. The CSV file contains the following columns and looks something like this:

CM20-001 Active The Colosseum Horatio Albatross 1/16/2024 11 am 2:30 pm 100 Lunch will be provided 1
Download a Sample CSV

After you’ve prepared your CSV, navigate to Class Manager > Configuration > Import Sessions, select your file, and click the “Import” button to start the import process. If any errors occur, no sessions will be imported; you will be informed of what went wrong so you can fix it and try again.

CSV Notes
  • Required fields: sku, status, location, instructor, start_date, start_time, end_time and qty.
  • The end_date field is not required since it defaults to the same as start_date.
  • Default values can be configured for status, location, instructor and qty in which case they can optionally be left blank.
  • The price_adjustment, sort_order and notes fields are optional and will inherit the same defaults they would when adding/editing sessions manually.
  • Sessions that span multiple, non-consecutive dates will consist of multiple rows in the spreadsheet. After adding a new row containing the first date of the session, enter the other dates and times on separate rows directly underneath that row (see sample CSV for examples). The sku column must be empty for these subsequent rows to be added to the session. If a SKU is provided the row will be treated as a separate session.
  • All dates and times must be formatted the same way they are when you add/edit sessions manually.
  • Survey selection is not available when importing: the default survey will be used for all imported sessions.

Zoom Sessions

The Zoom video conferencing API was integrated in version 1.2.0 allowing automated management of Zoom meetings, so you never have to touch your Zoom account again!

It provides the following benefits:

Automatically creates Zoom meetings for online sessions (and updates them if the time changes)

Emails with join info are branded and customizable using Magento's built in email template manager

Withholds the Zoom join info from customers until a customizable interval before the session/meeting begins

At the specified time, emails customers the Zoom join link and adds a Join button to their My Classes page on the website

At the specified time (separately customizable from the customer email time), emails the selected instructor the instructions for starting the session/meeting

A single Zoom user license can be shared by multiple instructors

Checks for Zoom host availability to avoid conflicts

Zoom join info is displayed in the Magento backend so there's no need to refer to your Zoom account

Can optionally add registrants as meeting attendees in Zoom and restrict meeting access to only those users

A Zoom account containing at least one Licensed user is required for the Zoom API to work. As of May 2023, a single-user "Pro" license costs $15.99/month or $149.90/year USD.

Configuration

1) Enable Zoom and enter API credentials

To use the Zoom integration you will first need to connect your Zoom account. Start by expanding the Zoom Sessions panel in the Event Management configuration and setting the Enabled option to Enabled.

Then you'll need to get the OAuth Zoom Account ID, Zoom Client ID, and Zoom Client Secret from your Zoom account.

  1. Sign into https://marketplace.zoom.us using the credentials of your main Zoom account.
  2. Go to DevelopBuild Server-to Server App in the top menu and create a new app. You can name it "Magento Events".
  3. In the Information section, provide your Company Name, Developer Name, and Developer Email. (The information added to these fields will not affect the integration.)
  4. In the Scopes section, click the + Add Scopes button and add:
    • View all user meetings (under Meeting)
    • View and manage all user meetings (under Meeting)
    • View all user information (under User)
    • View users information and manage users (under User)
  5. In the Activation section, click the Activate your app button.
  6. Paste the values found in the App Credentials section into the corresponding fields (seen above) in Magento.

Once you've completed these steps, go ahead and save your configuration changes. This will allow us to see if the connection was successful. If it was, you'll see green checkmark and a status message similar to this in the Zoom Status field:

1) Enable Zoom and enter your token

To use the Zoom integration you will first need to connect your Zoom account. Start by expanding the Zoom Sessions panel in the Event Management configuration and setting the Enabled option to Enable.

Then you'll need to get the Zoom Token from your Zoom account:

  1. Sign into https://marketplace.zoom.us with the credentials of your main Zoom account.
  2. Go to DevelopBuild App in the top menu and create a new JWT app.
  3. In the App Credentials panel of your new app, expand the View JWT Token tab, and select the Other option under Expiration Time. Enter 00:00 01/01/2070 (or some other date far in the future) into the text field, then copy the generated JWT Token.

After you've saved the token somewhere safe (like a password manager), go back to Magento and enter the token into the Zoom Token field. Once you've done this go ahead and save your configuration changes. This will allow us to see if the connection was successful. If it was, you'll see green checkmark and a status message similar to this in the Zoom Status field:

2) Select a department

Don't be worried if it says 0 host licenses available in the Zoom Status field. This is because we haven't matched the Zoom Users Department field to your users in Zoom. In order for Zoom user accounts to be available in Event Management they must belong to the department entered in the Zoom Users Department field. The department title can be whatever you want (default is Online Events), but only users in your Zoom account who are assigned to that departement will be available in Magento.

You can manage your Zoom users here. To add or edit their department, just press the "Edit" button next to their account.

Once you've added users to the department specified in the Event Management configuration, you can press the "Save" button again in Magento to check the updated number of available host licenses.

Keep in mind that the users in that department also have to have paid licenses. If any of them are on the "Basic" plan, they will not be available in Magento.
3) Assign Zoom host accounts to instructors

To complete the setup you need to assign Zoom hosts to instructors. To do this, go to Event Management > Configuration > Instructors. You'll see a list of available Zoom host accounts at the top of this page, along with their User IDs

Copy the User ID for the account you want to use and paste it into the Zoom User ID field for each instructor whom you would like to assign to that host account. You can assign a single Zoom User ID to multiple instructors, but you cannot assign multiple Zoom User IDs to a single instructor.

3) Assign Zoom host accounts to instructors

To complete the setup you need to assign Zoom hosts to instructors. To do this, go to Event Management > Configuration > Instructors. Now open your Zoom users dashboard in a separate window so you can copy the IDs of the host users.

To get the user ID(s) from your Zoom account, click on the user's email address for which you want to get the ID. This will open the user's profile. From there, you can copy the user's ID from the URL in your browser's address bar, between user/ and /profile

Once you've copied that string (which sometimes contains hyphens), go back to Magento and paste it into the Zoom User ID field for each instructor whom you would like to assign to that host account. You can assign a single Zoom User ID to multiple instructors, but you cannot assign multiple Zoom User IDs to a single instructor.

4) Choose a location for your online sessions

The final step to enable Zoom session management in Event Management is to create a unique location for them. When you create a new session, the location selection is what determines whether the session will be a regular session or a Zoom session.

To designate a location for Zoom sessions, either create a new location or choose an existing one that doesn't already have regular sessions assigned to it. (If you try to convert a location that already has non-Zoom sessions, you will get an error.) All you need to do is toggle Use for online meetings to Yes.

Though it may not be all that useful, it is possible to have multiple locations enabled for online meetings.
5) Set up your communication preferences

Event Management provides various options for your Zoom session communication preferences. You can find these settings below the Zoom Status in the Zoom Sessions section of the Event Management configuration options.

Send Customer Join Link

If enabled, an email will be sent to registrants of a Zoom session containing the information necessary for them to join the Zoom meeting. It is enabled by default.

Customer Email Template

This is the email template that will be used to send the information necessary for registrants to join the Zoom meeting. As with all Magento emails, you may select a customized version of the email template if you have created one.

How many minutes in advance of session should access details be given to customer?

This setting dictates (in minutes) how far in advance of your session start time you want to make the Zoom meeting access details available to your registrants. It dictates when the above email will be sent to the customer, but it also determines when the "Join Meeting" link will become available on the' My Classes page in customers' accounts. The link on the My Classes page will be available regardless of whether the emails are enabled or not. The default is 120 minutes (2 hours) before the session start time.

Send Instructor Start Link

If enabled, an email will be sent to the instructor of a Zoom session containing the information necessary for them to start the Zoom meeting. This is a different link from the join link and requires the instructor to be logged in to the host account before the link will work. It is enabled by default.

Instructor Email Template

This is the email template that will be used to send the information necessary for instructors to start the Zoom meeting. As with all Magento emails, you may select a customized version of the email template if you have created one.

How many minutes in advance of session should access details be given to instructor?

This setting dictates (in minutes) how far in advance of your session start time you want to make the Zoom meeting access details available to your instructor. The default is 1440 minutes (24 hours) before the session start time with the idea being that they will then have time to check their settings and prepare to host the meeting.

Other preferences and settings
Require participants to have a Zoom account to attend

As stated in the note below the setting, enabling this increases the security of your meetings by limiting attendance according to registrants' email addresses, but it places more burden on your attendees by requiring them to have a Zoom account that matches their registration email and be logged in to join the meeting. It is disabled by default.

Zoom Meeting Description

When editing a product, you can specify a value for the Zoom Meeting Description under the "Class Details" tab. This description is only shown when you view your meeting within your Zoom account and if Zoom sends users emails about the meetings. If you've disabled the native Zoom emails then it won't do much, but it's there if you need it.

Zoom settings not available within Class Manager

All other Zoom-related options must be configured in your Zoom account. Here are a couple to note...

Zoom Waiting Room

The option to enable/disable a Waiting Room for your meetings is not available in Class Manager, but can be configured in your Zoom account. We recommend using this feature.

Recording Zoom Meetings

The option to automatically record your Zoom meetings is not available in Class Manager, but can be configured in your Zoom account. (Of course the host can always record meetings even if they're not set to be automatically recorded.)

In a future release, we plan on adding a followup email option that will send a link to the recording (if there is one and it's stored on the Zoom cloud) to all registered participants.

Creating Zoom Sessions

Once everything is all configured, you're ready to start creating your Zoom sessions! Overall, creating a Zoom session is very similar to creating a regular session, but there are some key differences. First of all, due to restrictions of the Zoom platform there are some limitations for Zoom sessions that don't apply to regular sessions:

Zoom sessions can only repeat on consecutive dates and at the same time on each date.

Zoom sessions are limited to 100 participants.

To create a new Zoom-enabled session, first select a Zoom-enabled location from the Location dropdown menu. (As of version 1.2.1, Zoom-enabled locations are highlighted with *ZOOM following the location name.) This will make some slight adjustments to the session creation panel as seen in this side-by-side comparison:

You'll notice that the Instructor field is now disabled; that's because instructors are connected to hosts (see configuration) so we need to choose a host first. In order to choose a host, however, you need to check their availability, so after you've selected the Location you'll jump down to the Dates and Times section.

Enter the date(s) and times of your session and then press the "Check Availability" button. (As noted above, non-consecutive dates are not supported.) The message "In Progress" will show while the check is performed and will change to "Complete" when the check is complete.

After the availability check has been performed you will then choose one of the available hosts. After that you can select an instructor based on the selected host. Please be sure to rerun the availability check every time you change the date(s) or time(s). If you don't, and there is a conflict, you will get an error and your session(s) will not be saved.

Once you've created your session(s), press the "Save" button at the top of the page to save your product changes. It is at this time that the Zoom meeting will be created and associated with the session. When you view the session creation panel again you'll see that the Zoom meeting link and password have been added, confirming that the meeting was created.

All other settings function the same as they do for regular sessions.

Important Notes
Updating the date or time of your Zoom session in Magento will update it in Zoom, but if you change them in your Zoom account, the changes WILL NOT be reflected in Magento. For that matter, any changes you make in your Zoom account will not be recognized by Magento.
Changing a session's status to Canceled WILL NOT delete the associated Zoom meeting from your Zoom account. If you'd like to delete the meeting to free up the time for another session you will have to go to your Zoom account and delete it there.
Importing Zoom Sessions

Due to the complexity of creating a new Zoom session, importing Zoom sessions is not currently supported. You will encounter an error if any of the sessions in your CSV file are set to an "online" location.

Joining Zoom Sessions

Notifications

Not only are all the usual Event Management emails (registration and waitlist confirmations, reminders, changes, cancelations, and surveys) sent for Zoom sessions, but the Zoom integration adds two customizable emails for delivering the necessary Zoom meeting details to your customers and instructors at exactly the time you want them to arrive.

Tip: Since Event Management sends the emails necessary to join meetings (if enabled) you will likely want to disable Zoom's default meeting notifications so your customers don't receive multiple messages about the same session.
Join Link Email for Customers

This customizable email will contain the session title (with a link to the class page), date(s) and time(s), and the necessary link (as well as Meeting ID and Password) to join the Zoom meeting. Here is an example using the default template:

The timing of this email can be configured in the extension settings. The default is 120 minutes (2 hours) before the session start time. If someone registers after the configured send time, they will receive the email immediately upon registering.

As of version 1.2.1, a "Confirm email address" field can be added to the class registration form on the front end. This should reduce the number of mistyped email addresses.
Start Link Email for Instructors

Very similar to the "Join Link" email for customers, this email is sent to the instructor of the class informing them of which Zoom user account they will be using and providing them with a link to start the Zoom meeting. If they are already logged into that Zoom account all they will need to do is click on the "Start Zoom Meeting" button in the email. Here is an example using the default template:

The timing of this email can be configured in the extension settings. The default is 1440 minutes (24 hours) before the session start time to allow them plenty of time to check their settings and prepare to host the meeting.

IMPORTANT: This email will be sent to the instructor's email address, so make sure their email address is valid and up-to-date in their instructor record. Also note that the password for the Zoom host account is not included in this email; you will be responsible for securely sharing that with the instructor ahead of the scheduled session time.
Other ways to join Zoom sessions

Customers can find a link to join the Zoom meeting on the My Classes page in their account. Before the link is available the button will be disabled and there will be a note about the availability:

After the link is available, the button will be enabled and the Meeting ID and Password will be shown:

Instructors can find the link to start the Zoom meeting at the top of the session roster in the back end:

Sessions grid

The Sessions grid can be accessed from the main the extension’s menu and shows a list of all sessions across all products. Here you can search and sort them, see which ones are full, and even make changes to them directly from the grid.

  • ID — A unique ID that can be used to reference the session
  • SKU — The SKU of the class to which the session belongs (sessions do not have their own SKUs)
  • Class Title — The name of the class to which the session belongs
  • Status — The session status (Inactive, Active, Canceled Complete)
  • Start Date — The date and time the session starts
  • End Date — The date and time that the session ends (if the session has multiple dates, it will be the end time of the last date)
  • Date(s) — All dates/times in the session
  • Created — The date and time when the session was created
  • Instructor — The instructor of the session
  • Location — The location at which the session will take place
  • Seats — The total number of seats/spots in the session (capacity)
  • Capacity — Shows the percentage of registrations vs. capacity
  • Notes — Any session notes will show up in parentheses on the front end
  • Price Adj — Any adjustment to the base price for individual sessions
  • Zoom Host — The Zoom user selected to host the Zoom meeting (only applicable to Zoom sessions
  • Survey — The name of the selected survey that will be sent to session participants when the session is complete
  • Action — Pressing “Edit” will take you to the class page to edit the full session details
  • Roster — Pressing “View” will take you to the roster for that session

Columns

You can sort columns, drag-and-drop the column headers to reorganize columns, and you can show/hide the columns in the grid using the "Columns" manager.

Views

Once you have the columns the way you want them, you can save your column views using the “Views” menu so you can easily switch between views.

Filtering

You can filter the sessions by pressing the “Filters” button, filling in/selecting the filters you want, and pressing the “Apply Filters” button. Clear all filters by pressing the “Clear all” link.

Quick edits

The coolest part of the grid is being able to edit certain session details right from the grid (requires permission) without having to open the product for editing! When you click on a row, it’s selected and some of the fields become editable.

You can change the Status, number of Seats, Notes, Sort Order and Price Adjustment. This is especially handy when you have a class that has reached capacity and you want to add another seat or two to maximize your revenue. You can adjust the number of seats in a couple of seconds and the Capacity percentage updates accordingly.

Viewing Classes on the Front End

Classes and events are viewable just like any other product on the front end either by catalog navigation or search. Location and instructor filters are added to layered navigation for filtering classes and advanced search as well as product comparison.

Product Details Page

The product details page (PDP) looks mostly the same as it would for simple products, with the following exceptions:

  • A Registration block is added displaying available sessions to choose from.
  • The Add to Cart button is replaced with a Register button.
    • If no sessions are available the button will be replaced with a styled text block reading Registration not available.
  • If there are related products, they will be moved from their usual place to the registration form (some themes may still include them elsewhere). See Related Products for more details and an example.
  • Depending on your configuration, additional product tabs may be added to display information about the session instructors, or display the class or event policy text.
Special Notice

If needed, a global "special notice" can be configured to be displayed at the top of all class product pages (above the product name). Both the content and style are completely customizable using the WYSIWYG/HTML editor in the Event Management configuration. Here are a couple of examples:

Calendar View

For a convenient way to find classes and events by date and location, Event Management adds a filterable calendar view to Magento.

Event Management uses native calendar functionality to display all of your sessions by date. You can choose month, week or day views on a navigable calendar. The calendar can also be filtered by location.

Events that are in the past, full or canceled will be displayed differently (grayed out) on the calendar to indicate that registration is not available for them. Today's date is highlighted as well.

When a customer hovers over an event, additional details like status, instructor and session series (session x of x) are shown:

When a customer clicks on an event on the calendar, it opens the product page for registration. If desired, you can set the registration form for the selected session to open automatically when the page loads. See configuration.

Special Events on the Calendar

Events marked as a "Special Event" on the backend will be highlighted on the calendar to separate them from normal classes and events. This, like all calendar styles, can be modified according to your theme.

Location Filter

By default, the calendar shows all locations, but you can add additional, location-specific calendars by setting Filterable to Yes when setting up your locations.

Each filterable location will also have its own unique URL based on the Code field in the location settings.

When viewing a location-specific calendar, the name of the filtered location is hidden for those sessions.
Calendar "Merging"

As of version 1.2.1, you have the option to show select locations on all calendars, regardless of the filter. This is useful if, for example, you want to show online events for all locations since they can be attended from anywhere. To show a location's sessions on all calendars, set the Show on all calendars setting to Yes for the chosen location.

When this option is enabled, the location will be noted for sessions at these locations when viewing other locations' calendars.

Custom Events

Because calendars can be useful for conveying all kinds of information, we've included the ability to add custom events to your calendars.

To view existing custom events and create new ones, access the Custom Events Grid by navigating to Class Manager > Calendars > Custom Events.

To create a custom calendar entry to be displayed on the calendar, press the "Add New Event" button at the top of the grid. You will be presented with the following options:

Active

Yes will display the event on the calendar; No will hide it.

URL

f a URL is supplied, the event will link to that page. If the field is blank, the event will not have a link.

Event Name

This text will show on the calendar in the space where the class or event title would be.

Location

Just like sessions, the custom event must be associated with a location. The location is used to determine on which calendars the event will be included and will also be displayed on the main "all locations" calendar underneath the Event Name.

Instructor

Just like sessions, the custom event must be associated with an instructor. If it is a general announcement, such as a store closure, you may want to assign it to a "Staff" (or similar) instructor. Instructor name is only shown when you hover over a calendar entry and is not visible by default.

Dates and Times

Just like sessions, date(s) and time(s) must be provided for the custom event in order to determine where to display it on the calendar. See Session Dates and Times.

Deleting Custom Entries

For database maintenance, it is recommended to occasionally clean out your old custom calendar entries. You can do that in bulk from the Custom Events grid by selecting all events to be deleted and then selecting "Delete" from the "Actions" dropdown menu.

Printing Calendars

The calendar view contains a specialized set of CSS that hides page elements to allow for easy printing of calendar events for in-store display or other uses. Just choose File > Print from your browser menu or press Ctrl + P on a PC or Command + P on a Mac to print the page.

Compatibility with your theme cannot be guaranteed. Additional CSS may be required.

Registration

Customer registrations

Event Management for Magento 2 makes it easy for your customers to register for classes and events on your website. If they have an account on the site they'll also be able to view their upcoming classes, past classes and waitlisted classes.

Registering for a Session

To register for a session, the customer will:

  1. browse the calendar, categories or search to find the class or event they want;
  2. select the session they want to register for from the list of available sessions and press the "Register" button;
  3. enter their contact details (if they're not already auto-filled from their account info), select any session options, and press the “Add to Cart” button;
  4. proceed to view their cart and check out by either pressing the "View cart" button or closing the overlay and going to checkout using the cart icon in the header;

Emails

Event Management has many emails available to help you communicate effectively with your customers. You can enable and disable them individually and they all have customizable templates.

  1. When they register for a session they'll receive a registration confirmation email.
  2. If they're waitlisted for a session they'll receive a waitlist confirmation email.
  3. When the first date of their session is approaching they'll receive one or more reminder emails.
  4. If the location or date/time changes for a session they're registered for, they'll receive a session change email.
  5. If a session they've registered for is canceled, they'll receive a cancelation email.
  6. If they're registered for a Zoom session using the Zoom integration, they'll receive an email with the necessary information to join the Zoom call.
  7. After their session has completed, they'll receive an email requesting their feedback.

For more information, head over to the Emails documentation.

My classes page

If a customer has an account, or creates an account, on the website they'll be able to log in and view their "My Classes" page which lists all of their upcoming and waitlisted classes as well the last several months of their past classes.

Classes Dropdown

Customers can also quickly view their next few upcoming classes in a handy dropdown menu in the header ribbon of every page, right next to their name. (Theme compatibility varies.)

Add to calendar button

Customers can easily add the classes and events they've registered for to the calendar of their choice using an "Add to Calendar" button on both their "My Classes" page and in the various emails they receive regarding the session. The button uses the standardized iCalendar format, which should work with the majority of calendar apps.

Employee registrations

Employee registrations (often called "in-store registrations") are a central feature to businesses that also operate retail locations. A customer may come into the store or other location wanting to sign up and pay for a class at the same time — and in the same transaction — that they make a physical purchase, and this system allows store employees to do just that.

Prerequisites
  • The In-Store Payment module must be installed and enabled.
  • A module for restricting payment methods by customer group must be installed.
  • One or more customer groups must be created to which all store accounts will be assigned.
  • The customer group(s) must be selected for in-store registrations in config settings and also configured for access to the In-Store Payment method.
  • Magento customer accounts (either one per store, one per register, or one per employee) must be created for employees and assigned to the selected customer group(s).

Registering a Customer for a Session

How to register a customer for a class using your in-store account:

  1. If you’re not already signed in, sign into your store account using the link in the header.
  2. Browse or search to find the class the customer wants to register for.
  3. On the product page, scroll down to find the available sessions.
  4. Select the session the customer wants (if it’s available) and press the “Register” button.
  5. A popup appears with the registration form.
  6. Enter the customer’s contact details, being very careful to enter their correct email address, fill out the rest of the form, and press the “Add to Cart” button.
  7. A confirmation appears when the registration has been added to the cart giving you the option to either view your cart or register another customer for the same session. If you’re ready to check out, either press the “View cart” button or close the overlay and go to checkout using the cart icon in the header.
  8. Check out using the standard checkout process. You can take payment from the customer at this time, or, if you have already received payment from the customer using your in-store POS or other system outside Magento, choose the “Payment Taken In-Store” option which will not require additional payment details.

What happens after I register a customer?

Obviously the registration will be added to the class or event roster in Magento. In addition — if the customer's email address was entered correctly — glorious, almost magical, things will happen!

  • An email will be immediately sent to the customer’s email address confirming their enrollment. The email contains:
    • Registrant’s name and contact info
    • Name of class
    • Date and time of class
    • Location of class, including address and phone number
    • Instructor name
    • Link to add the event to their calendar (if enabled and supported by template)
    • Links to download the supply list (if applicable and enabled and supported by template)
    • Class Policy (if provided in configuration and supported by template)
  • If the customer has an account on the site using the same email address (or even if they create a new one afterwards using that email address), the registration you just created will be visible on their My Classes page. (Letting them know this will encourage them to create an account on your site if they haven't done so already.)
  • The customer will receive all class-related emails (reminders, changes, cancelations, Zoom links, survey requests, etc.) just as though they had signed up themselves.

Wait list signups

Customer signup

If a session has reached capacity, customers can be added to a wait list for the class so that they may be contacted once more spots open up. If a class session is full a link to get on the wait list will be shown for the session.

For a customer to add themselves, they simply press the “Get on the wait list” link. If they are not logged in, they will be asked to log in (or create an account if they don't have one). They will then be able to select the quantity of wait list spots as well as add any comments.

The customer’s wait list entries will show up on their My Classes page.

Customers can manage their wait list entries by clicking on the class name on the My Classes page (or otherwise navigating to the class page) and clicking the “Get on the wait list” link again. When the form appears they will be able to either update their wait list info (adjust quantity, add notes...) or they will also have the option to delete their wait list entry using the “Delete” button.

In-store (employee) signup

The process for an employee to add a customer to a wait list is almost identical. The difference is that you will enter the customer’s name and contact info into the Notes field.

To add more than one customer, adjust the quantity and add their name and contact info to the Notes field, while also retaining the info for existing customer(s), and press the “Update wait list spot” button.

Classes waitlisted using a store employee’s account will not show up on the customer’s My Classes page, however they will show up on the store’s My Classes page.

Note: we recognize that this is not an ideal method for in-store wait list signups and are working to implement a better system. Your feedback is welcome.

How to use wait list entries

See Managing wait lists

Rosters

Rosters grid

The Rosters grid can be accessed from the main menu of the extension and, similar to the Sessions grid, shows a list of all sessions. You can find the roster you’re looking for by searching and sorting them, then press “View” (or just click in a row) to view individual rosters.

  • ID — A unique ID that can be used to reference the roster
  • Class Title — The name of the class
  • SKU — The SKU for the class (product level)
  • Start Date — The date and time the session starts
  • End Date — The date and time that the session ends (if the session has multiple dates, it will be the end time of the last date)
  • Date(s) — All dates/times in the session
  • Instructor — The instructor of the session
  • Location — The location at which the session will take place
  • Available Qty — The total number of seats/spots in the session (capacity)
  • Active Qty — The number of registrants who have enrolled in the session and paid for it
  • Reserved Qty — The number of registrants who have enrolled in the session but whose payment is pending
  • Wait List Qty — The number of customers on the wait list for the session
  • Canceled Qty — The number of registrants whose registrations have been canceled (order refunded or status changed)
  • Capacity — Shows the percentage of registrations vs. total capacity
  • Special Event — Shows whether the session is designated as a Special Event (can be useful for finding rosters for special events)
  • Action — Pressing “View” will take you to the roster for that session

Columns

You can sort columns, drag-and-drop the column headers to reorganize columns, and you can show/hide the columns in the grid using the “Columns” manager.

Views

Once you have the columns the way you want them, you can save your column views using the “Views” menu so you can easily switch between views.

Filtering

You can filter the sessions by pressing the “Filters” button, filling in/selecting the filters you want, and pressing the “Apply Filters” button. Clear all filters by pressing the “Clear all” link.

Registrations

Session rosters

A roster is a view of who is registered for a class session. Rosters can be accessed in the following ways:

  1. from the Rosters Grid,
  2. from the Sessions Grid, or
  3. from the “View Roster” link on a customer’s order (see below)

When you view a roster, you'll see the Class name, location, date & time, instructor and number of seats at the top. There are also a couple of helpful buttons:

  • Edit Session — This will take you to the product page so you can edit session details.
  • View Registration Page — This will take you to the registration page on the front end, in case you want to register someone.

Registrations grid

Below the header is the Registrations grid which lists all participants for a session.

  • ID — A unique ID that can be used to reference the registration
  • Status — The registration status (Active, Reserved, Canceled, Wait List)
  • Quantity — The quantity registered
  • Name — Customer name
  • E-mail — Customer e-mail address
  • Phone — Customer phone number
  • Customer Info — Customer comments (entered when registering)
  • Internal Notes — Internal notes (entered on roster)
  • Product Options — Custom options associated with the class
  • Reserved Date — Date the order was placed
  • Order — Order number containing the registration
  • Order Status — Status of the order containing the registration (added in 1.7.1)
  • Paid — Paid amount
  • Customer — Customer ID
  • Store — Who purchased the class (customer or store)
Note: the “Actions” dropdown menu may be unavailable depending on your permissions.
Pagination
Please be aware that Magento 2 paginates grids, so some entries may be “hidden” on other pages.

In order to view all entries at once you can set the number per page to the maximum: 999. This usually “sticks” from roster to roster, but it doesn't hurt to check and make sure that you’re viewing all entries and not just the first 20 (which is the default).

Columns

You can sort columns, drag-and-drop the column headers to reorganize columns, and you can show/hide the columns in the grid using the “Columns” manager.

Views

Once you have the columns the way you want them, you can save your column views using the “Views” menu so you can easily switch between views. For example, it may be helpful to save a “Print” view for printing rosters.

Keep in mind that number of records per page is also saved with your view, so make sure you save your view with your preferred number of records per page.
Filtering

You can filter the grid by pressing the “Filters” button, filling in/selecting the filters you want, and pressing the “Apply Filters” button. Clear all filters by pressing the “Clear all” link.

The Status, Order Status and Store filters on this grid allow you to select multiple values at once. So, for example, if you want to show both Active and Wait List entries, you can do that!

Filters are only available for active columns. If a filter is missing, toggle the column visibility and try again.

Editing registrations

To edit a roster entry, click on a row and it will become editable. Make your changes and then press the “Save” button.

Editable fields
Restrictions

There are two levels of editing permissions: Limited and Full. Certain fields require Full permissions to edit. Permission level has been notated next to each field.

Bulk Edits

If attempting to edit multiple entries at once (changing registration status, for example), make sure the Action column (added in 1.10.0) is visible on the grid before selecting 'Edit' from the 'Actions' dropdown menu. If it is not visible, you will be unable to save your changes.

Status Full

The registration status can be updated. Possible options are:

  • Active — The customer has registered for the class and plans to attend
  • Reserved — The customer has reserved their spot, but has not yet paid for it
  • Canceled — The customer will no longer be attending
  • Wait List — Designates a wait list entry
  • Attended — The customer attended the class (requires manual change)
  • No-Show — The customer did not attend the class (requires manual change)
Note: Registration Status cannot be changed from Wait List to Active unless there is an order associated with the entry.

Status changes are recorded as a comment on the associated order:

Quantity Limited|Full

The quantity of a registration can be changed as long as there are seats available in the class. If the class is full, unless you edit the session to increase the number of available seats (or cancel or reduce the quantity of another registration), you will only be able to adjust the quantity down.

Note: If the Quantity is changed to 0, the Status of the registration is also changed to Canceled, however changing the Quantity from 0 to 1 does not automatically return the registration status to Active. Status must be updated manually.

Status changes are recorded as a comment on the associated order:

Name Full

Customer name can be updated in case of typo.

E-mail Full

Customer email can be updated in case of typo.

Phone Full

Customer phone number can be updated in case of typo.

Customer info Full

Customer comments can be updated.

Internal notes Limited|Full

Internal notes can be added.

Printing registrations

The extension brings more flexibility to roster printing. Now you can filter and sort entries as well as hide columns you don't need.

Before printing, double-check your pagination to make sure all entries are visible. Only the visible entries will be printed.

This is where Views are really handy. You can save a “Print” view which just shows the columns you want on your printouts and then easily switch back and forth between a more detailed view and your slimmed-down “Print” view. Once you've created your “Print” view and have selected it using the Views menu, press the “Print” button. A popup window opens*, displaying only the roster isolated from other elements that shouldn't be printed. You can then press Ctrl + P on a PC or ⌘ + P on a Mac to print the window.

*If you don't see the window open, make sure your browser isn't blocking it.

Exporting registrations

Rosters can be exported to a CSV file. You can apply any filters you want to the registrations table and when you’re ready to export, press the “Export” menu button and then the “Export” button which appears in the dropdown.

You will then be prompted to save the file to your computer where you can open it in the application of your choice.

Note that column sorting and hiding does not apply to exports. All columns are exported whether they are visible or not.

Wait lists

Viewing wait list entries

You can see if anyone is wait listed for a session by looking in the “Wait List Qty” column on the Rosters grid. If you would like to view all classes that have a wait list you can filter the Rosters grid by sessions with a Wait List Qty of 1 to 999.

When viewing a roster, Wait List entries will be highlighted in pink and you'll usually find them towards the bottom. Although, depending on your sorting method, they may show up at the top or even in the middle of other roster entries.)

The wait list entries will show the customer’s contact information as well as how many spots they would like to register for, the date on which they made their request, and any comments they may have provided. (If the Include session options in wait list form setting is enabled, it will also show the answers they provided to the extra session questions.)

Managing wait list entries

Because every registration requires an order to be associated with it, wait list entries cannot be directly converted to registrations. You will need to contact the customer letting them know that one or more spots have become available and they can now register for the class through the website, or you can register them on their behalf using the employee registration method. Once they have registered for the class, either you or the customer will need to manually delete their wait list entry; it is not done automatically. On the back end, all of the same fields that can be edited for registrations can be edited for wait list entries. Please see the Editing Registrations documentation for instructions on editing wait list entries.

We are searching for better ways of handling this. Current ideas include an automated email which will notify wait listed customers when spots open up. Another idea we are considering is to utilize a backorder system where orders could still be placed even when there is no availability for a session and those orders would be assigned the “Wait List” status. You would then have to cancel and refund the order if they are unable to attend. Your feedback is welcome.

Customers can also manage their own wait list entries from the My Classes page in their account.

Attributes

Locations

Locations, also known as venues, are the places where your classes and events take place. Locations must be added before creating or importing sessions.

Locations Grid

The Locations grid lists all of the locations that you've added to Event Management. It can be accessed from the main Event Management menu. You can filter the grid by Name, Code, Phone, and Email.

By choosing an option from either the Actions column on the grid, or by selecting multiple records and choosing from the options in the Actions dropdown menu above the grid, you can edit or delete one or more locations. Other options for editing are to simply click on the row of the location you want to edit and edit it right on the grid:

Adding a Location

Press the "Add New Location" button at the top of the page to add a new location.

You will see the following screen when adding (or editing) a location:

Filterable

Setting this to Yes will create a location-specific calendar on the frontend of the website which will show only sessions available at this location (along with locations chosen to show on all calendars). If set to No sessions for this location will be shown on the "all locations" calendar, but there will be no location-specific calendar for this location.

Location Name

This is where you enter the name of the location or venue.

Filter Option Label

If you would like the location filter option on the calendar page to have a different name than the main location name, enter it here. Most of the time, this field will be empty in which case the main Location Name will be used.

Code

This is essentially a URL Key. The filtered calendar view will be visible using this code in the URL. We recommend following best practices of using only lowercase characters with hyphens to separate words. Avoid spaces or other special characters.

Example frontend path: /event-management/events/calendar/location/{code}/

Address

This is the location's physical address. If provided, it will be included in emails to the customer.

Phone

This is the location's phone number. If provided, it will be included in emails to the customer.

Email

This is the location's email address. This field is not currently used.

Use for online meetings

Setting this to Yes will designate the location to be used for Zoom sessions. The Zoom API must be activated and configured in order for Zoom functionality to be available.

Show on all calendars

Setting this to Yes will show sessions at this location on all calendars, regardless of the location filter.

Location Calendars

Event Management comes with native calendar support for your locations and sessions, allowing your customers to filter sessions by location. For more information about calendars, head on over to the Views & Calendars documentation.

Instructors

An instructor is the person leading a class or event. Instructors must be added before creating or importing sessions.

Instructors Grid

The Instructors grid lists all of the instructors that you've added to Event Management. It can be accessed from the main Event Management menu. You can filter the grid by Name, Email, URL Key, Include in Instructor List, and Zoom User ID.

By choosing an option from either the Actions column on the grid, or by selecting multiple records and choosing from the options in the Actions dropdown menu above the grid, you can edit or delete one or more instructors. Other options for editing are to simply click on the row of the instructor you want to edit and edit it right on the grid:

Adding an Instructor

Press the "Add New Instructor" button at the top of the page to add a new instructor.

You will see the following screen when adding (or editing) an instructor:

Instructor Name

This is where you enter the instructor's name.

Email

This is where you enter the instructor's email address. If a valid email address is supplied and the emails are enabled, the instructor will receive the following emails, when applicable:

  • Notifications about session changes and cancelations
  • Class threshold notifications
  • Zoom class hosting information

If an instructor does not have an email address or you don't know it, you can enter a placeholder email such as [email protected].

Instructor email addresses are only for backend use and are not made available to customers.
Include in Instructor List

You can exclude an instructor from the Instructor List by setting this to No.

URL Key

If a URL Key is supplied, a page will be created for the instructor which will show the instructor's Name, Image (if provided), and Bio (if provided) above a listing of all classes and events the instructor currently offers.

The value should be in standard URL format, consisting only of letters, numbers and dashes (-) or underscores (_). The URL of the instructor's page will be structured as domain.com/instructor/{URL_Key}/, so make sure each URL Key is unique.

Image

You can optionally upload an image of the instructor. If provided, it will be shown on the instructor's page and in the Instructors tab.

Instructor Bio

You can optionally provide a brief bio for the instructor. If provided, it will be included on the instructor's page and in the Instructors tab.

Zoom User ID

This setting is only used for instructors who are leading Zoom sessions using the Class Manager Zoom integration. Please see Assign Zoom host accounts to instructors for more details.

Instructor Pages

Instructor pages are auto-generated using the Instructor Name, Image, and Bio information you supply along with a listing of the classes and events currently offered by that instructor. The URL of the instructor's page will be domain.com/instructor/{URL_Key}/.

If no URL Key is supplied, then the instructor will not have an instructor page.

Instructor List

We recommend, for both SEO and UX purposes, that you create a page listing all of your instructors. Event Management provides an easy way to do this: just create a new CMS page and paste the following code into the Content section where you want the list of instructors to appear:

{{block class="staylime/classmanager\Block\InstructorList"}}

With this code inserted, you'll have a list like this on your page:

By default, all instructors are listed along with the number of classes or events they currently offer. If you'd like to hide instructors who are not currently offering sessions, you can disable Include instructors with no sessions available on Instructors page in Event Management configuration.

Additionally, as of version 2.1.0, you can hide individual instructors from the Instructor List by setting the Include in Instructor List to No. This will hide the instructor regardless of other settings. Please note that the Instructor Page will still exist and may be linked to elsewhere unless you also remove the URL Key for the instructor.

If no URL Key is supplied for an instructor, then the instructor's name will not be linked to an instructor page.

Instructors Tab

If enabled in the configuration, an Instructors tab will be shown on all class and event product pages showing the instructor's name, image, and bio with a link to their instructor page. If there are different instructors leading different sessions of the same class or event, they will all be included in the tab in alphabetical order. If no image or bio is supplied for an instructor then just their name and a link to their page will be shown.

Reports

Customer classes report

Event Management / Reports / Customer classes

The Customer Classes grid can be accessed from the main Event Management menu and allows you to look up class and event registrations by customer.

You can filter by Customer ID, Customer Name, Customer Email, Customer Phone, Class Location, Class Name, Order ID, Order Date, Order Status, Item Total and Purchase Location. The Class Date(s) (dates and times) column is also included but is not filterable. The Order ID column links to the order for easy reference.

You can also print the report or export it as a CSV for further inspection.

Purchase location report

Event Management / Reports / Purchase Location

The Purchase Location grid can be accessed from the main Event Management menu and allows you to look up where class and event registrations were purchased. If they were purchased online by the customer the Purchase Location column will show Customer; if they were purchased by an employee or other sales representative on behalf of the customer, the Purchase Location column will show the first and last name of the account which was used to purchase it.

The grid includes the filterable columns Purchase Location, Class Location, Class Name, Order Date, Item Total, Payment Method, and Order ID. The Class Detail (dates and times) column is also included but is not filterable. The Order ID column links to the order for easy reference.

You can also print the report or export it as a CSV for further inspection.

Serveys

Survey Forms (Backend)

The Survey Forms grid will list your existing survey forms and can be accessed from the main Class Manager menu. From the grid you can edit existing surveys, change the default survey, and delete surveys (as long as the one you are deleting is not set as the default).

Creating & Editing Surveys

To create a new survey, press the "Add New Survey" button at the top of the Survey Forms page. To edit a survey, choose "Edit" under the "Select" menu for the survey you want to edit.

General Tab

Under the General tab, you will set the following options:

  • Survey Name - This will be shown at the top of the survey form page
  • Description - This text will be shown underneath the session details on the survey form page
Rating Tab

Under the Rating tab, you can enable the rating option for your survey (disabled by default). This will present radio buttons to your customers to select a rating on a scale of 1-5. If desired, you can change the default text that accompanies the rating field. The scale (1-5) is not customizable.

Options Tab

Under the Options tab, you can add and customize the fields in your survey form. You can add as many options as you like.

Press the "Add Option" button to add a new option. For each option you can specify the Option Title, Option Type, and whether it's Required or not for the form to be submitted.

You have the following Option Types to choose from:

  • Text Field — A single-line text field for short free-form answers
  • Text Area — A multi-line, wrapping text field for longer free-form answers
  • Drop-Down — A drop-down menu of choices (only one selection can be made)
  • Radio Buttons — Radio button choices (only one selection can be made)
  • Checkbox — Checkbox choices (multiple selections can be made)
  • Multiple Select — A drop-down menu of choices (multiple selections can be made)

For all of the "Select"-type fields, you will be able to add values to correspond with the available choices.

If you have multiple form options, you can rearrange them by dragging the handle icon Handle icon. You can delete an option by pressing the trash icon Trash icon. The same can be done with the option values.

Email Tab

There is a customizable section in the survey email template that allows you to customize your emails according to which survey is being sent. You can set the content for this customizable section under the Email tab. This content will be inserted wherever you place the %survey_email_text% variable in your email template.

Setting the Default Survey

Once you've saved the survey form, there are a few different ways you can set it to be the default.

  1. In the "Surveys" section of the extension configuration settings there is an option to select the default survey.
  2. When you're editing an existing survey you can press the "Set as Default" link at the top of the page.
  3. On the Survey Forms grid you can select "Set as Default" under the "Select" menu.

Using a Survey Other Than the Default

Survey selection is done when adding or editing sessions. If you'd like to send a survey other than the default, just select an alternate survey in the session settings.

Survey Forms (Frontend)

Once a class or event has ended (and the delay time as specified in the extension configuration has passed), the registrants (who have active registrations) will receive an email urging them to fill out a survey for the session they attended. To encourage honest feedback, surveys are designed to be anonymous, but if you'd like to collect customer contact information in order to follow up with them, you can always add the appropriate (optional) fields.

A customer can only submit a survey form once for each session they attend. Once they've submitted it for a session they will not be able to resubmit or change their response.

Survey Email

Just like other Event Management emails, you can customize the email that's sent out to session attendees under Event Management > Configuration > Email Templates. You can load the default template and then edit it, or you can insert the variable {{var survey_email_text |raw}} into an existing custom template where you want the survey-specific content to be displayed.

Tip: Make sure the surrounding email content will not be redundant when the survey-specific content gets inserted.

You can choose not to include the survey-specific content and just send the same email for all surveys. The link to the correct survey will be included even if the custom text block is not.

If you create a new custom email template, be sure to select that template in the "Surveys" section of the extension configuration settings.

Survey Responses

The Survey Responses grid can be accessed from the main Event Management menu. This grid will show you all responses to your surveys. The responses can be filtered and sorted by ID, Fill Date, Survey ID, SKU, Class Title, Session ID, Instructor, Location, Rating, and Survey Name. The grid also shows the responses to your survey questions.

Survey Configuration

Documentation on survey configuration options can be found on the Configuration page.
