# Events & Classes

> Host group sessions, workshops, or courses with clear scheduling and registration tools.

Some offerings don’t fit into one-on-one appointments.\
**Events & Classes** let you schedule and manage group sessions — workshops, fitness classes, or multi-day retreats — with full control over registration, capacity, and attendance.

## Why It Matters

* **Fill every seat** — Set capacity and waitlists. Oskar automatically closes registration when full and promotes waitlisted participants as spots open.
* **Manage recurring series** — Build repeating events or multi-session courses without recreating settings.
* **Track attendance and payments** — View attendees, send updates, and manage check-ins and refunds in one place.

## Core Settings

### Event Name and Description

Describe the experience clearly, including requirements such as equipment or skill level.\
Use the extended description field for details or background context.

### Dates, Times, and Series

Schedule single events or full series of up to **100 dates**.\
Each occurrence can have its own start and end time or date range.\
Set recurrence patterns (daily, weekly, or custom) such as *“Every Wednesday at 18:00 for 10 weeks.”*

### Capacity and Waitlist

Define how many attendees can join each session.\
Enable a waitlist to collect interest and automatically fill cancellations.\
The event panel shows a progress bar of booked spots versus capacity.

### Price and Payment Options

Choose to charge per session or for the full course (e.g., $15 per class or $200 for a six-week course).\
Accept full or partial payments, apply discount codes, and enable online or offline payment options.

### Linked Resources and Staff

Assign locations, equipment, and instructors.\
Oskar checks availability and blocks linked resources automatically.

### Registration Form and Custom Fields

Collect extra information during registration, such as dietary needs or experience level.\
Attach a form with **Settings → Custom Fields**; clients fill it in during checkout.

### QR Code Check-In

Enable QR codes for fast entry.\
Clients receive their QR code in confirmation emails.\
Scan them from your dashboard or the event attendee list to track attendance.

### Cancellation and Rescheduling Rules

Define how late participants can cancel, whether tickets can be transferred, and if refunds apply.\
These policies appear automatically on the booking page and confirmation emails.

### Publish Status

Control visibility.\
Keep events in **Draft** until ready to publish.\
Archived events retain history but are no longer bookable.
