One class, one line per time slot
Behind the scenes, each time slot is its own record. A class taught Monday and Friday is two records, not one record with two days.
The list hides that. It puts slots together under a single line when they share a name, a discipline, a level and a location. The day name is stripped from the title first, so No-Gi Monday and No-Gi Friday land on the same line.
The coach and the time are deliberately left out of that comparison. You can hand Friday to someone else, or shift Saturday by an hour, and it stays the same class. A one-off class keeps its own line, because its date is the important part.
Fill in the form
Path: Classes › New class (top right). The same form opens from Schedule › New class.
The chips under the name field fill in a common class name for your type of gym in one tap. The Discipline field only appears for gyms that run combat sports.
If your coach is not in the list, type the name straight into the form and add them without leaving the page. A class can also be saved with no coach at all.
Every week, or one day only
Repeats is set to Every week by default, because a gym timetable is weekly by nature.
One-off is for a seminar, a trial class, a workshop. You give it a date instead of weekdays, and it happens that day only.
Several days and several times at once
Every combination of a day and a time becomes its own class. Three days with two times is six classes. The form counts them for you just above the duration field.
When you edit, the same rule applies. The first combination updates the class you opened and keeps its bookings. Any extra combination creates a new class next to it.
Capacity, duration and turnaround
Turnaround after is the dead time reserved once the class ends, before the next one can start in the same space. Leave it on Use default to follow the gym setting, or set a value for this class only.
Capacity and duration are pre-filled. The first class you create on a device takes the defaults from Settings › Classes, twenty seats and sixty minutes out of the box. From the second one on, the form reuses the capacity, the duration, the coach, the level, the day and the time of the LAST class you saved on that device.
When two classes overlap
Saving a class that runs into another one on the same day opens a warning that names the class it clashes with. The turnaround is counted in the clash.
Two classes at different locations do not clash, as long as both have a location set. If either one has no location, the warning appears anyway, because nothing says whether they share the room.
Duplicates, editing and deleting
If the same day and hour was saved twice, a badge counts the duplicates and a Remove duplicates link appears on the line.
On a class with several days, the panel offers two doors: Edit the class, which carries the change to every day, and a click on one day, which only touches that day.
Delete on a class removes it from the timetable. Its bookings go with it, past ones included. Both land in the Trash, where you can still restore them. Deleting from the Schedule with a right click does exactly the same thing, even though the menu there says less about it.
