Scheduling Session Options

Overview

In order to select options as part of a reservation, the option templates must be connected to the desired session by scheduling them.  

When you wish to add a single option template to multiple sessions at once, the easiest way to accomplish this is through Session Options in the Scheduling menu. This same tool can be used to remove a session option as well.

Session Options Terms and Settings

Below is a detailed description of each of the settings in Adding a Single Option:

Basic Option Settings

  • Non-refundable Fee and Cost default will display and can be adjusted using the designated fields.

  Tip

The Non-refundable Fee and the Cost will combine to calculate the total fees for this option. Whenever a reservation or option is cancelled or removed, the Non-refundable Fee will automatically be kept on the account.

  • Availability Limit can be adjusted the from the template default by entering a different number in the appropriate field.

Advanced Option Settings 

  • Option Pricing Structure: If this has been created and you wish to add it to this option as you schedule it, select the structure from the dropdown menu. This will not appear if no structure has been created.
  • Alternate Price Description: Entering here will cause it to display in place of the total fees (Non-refundable Fee + Cost) during the registration process.
  • Cancellation Fee: In addition or as an alternative to the Non-refundable Fee, a Cancellation Fee can be added automatically to an account if an option is removed or cancelled. 
    • Cancellations Fees can also be set to only trigger if the option is cancelled after a specific date as set using the calendar and time pickers.

  • Option Begin/End Date indicates when the option starts and when it ends. Clients will no longer be able to select an option after its end date.

  • Collect at Registration: If a portion of the fees for this option need to be Collected at Registration, enter the amount in the field provided.
    • Fees collected for this option will allocate based on the session or this option's category if an allocation account is set there. 
    • However, both of these can be overridden by selecting an Allocation Account on the option itself. This will also override any default on the Option Template.

    • Fixed Settings are added and adjusted only on the Option Template. They affect every use of this option template.
    • Flexible Settings derive their default from the Option Template but can be changed on each unique scheduled instance.

Once you schedule an option, Flexible Settings must usually must be changed in the Session Editing wizard or through the Bulk Updates tool. They are no longer controlled by the Option Template.
