define a schedule for a group-based appointment. For each class session in your schedule, you can define the maximum capacity of clients who can register. The timeslots for classes as displayed to clients are configured differently than the timeslots for Services. You can learn more about the scheduler settings for time displays for classes here.
On this documentation we will go through how to add a new class. After adding a new class, you can then add the schedule for when the class is offered and when clients may reserve seats in those classes. We cover how to add a one time schedule and a recurring class schedule on separate documentation.
