Scheduling Glossary

Group Scheduling

Scheduling events where multiple clients can book the same time slot, such as classes, workshops, or group sessions.

Definition

Group scheduling enables multiple participants to book into a single event occurrence, up to a defined capacity limit. Unlike 1:1 bookings where each slot serves one client, group events accommodate many. When capacity is reached, the slot closes or waitlist activates. Common for fitness classes, workshops, webinars, and group coaching.

Examples of Group Scheduling

A yoga class with 20 spots available

A cooking workshop limited to 12 participants

A group coaching call open to 50 members

A webinar with 500-person capacity

Why Group Scheduling Matters

Group events are business model efficient—one time slot generates revenue from multiple clients. Without proper group scheduling, you'd manually track capacity or use clunky external tools. Automated group scheduling shows real-time availability and prevents overbooking.

Common Questions About Group Scheduling

Can I set different prices for group vs private sessions?

Yes, create separate event types. Group classes might be $20/person while private sessions are $100.

What happens when a class fills up?

The time slot hides from the calendar or shows 'waitlist' if enabled. No overbooking occurs automatically.
