The Class schedule category template will reduce the repetitive work when you are using multiple schedule category to manage class schedules. It allows you to configure various options such as start day of the week, working days and so on.

Go to Modules > Schedules & Communications > Manage Class Schedules

To add "Breaks" in between, you can use this option.

After configuring the schedule category, click on save, and let's proceed adding category.

STEP 2: Create Resources

Resources can refer to the physical locations where classes are scheduled, such as the classroom numbers or names of the meeting room. It provides users with information on where their class is taking place.

To add a Resource, go to resources tab, and click on "Add Resource" button.

The "Conflict Check" can be useful when you are trying to add a resource to a schedule that is already engaged with another schedule but plans to also use that resource.

STEP 3: Create Schedule Category

There, we can select the template created in the first step to prepopulate the working days, and time.

Category Type - there are 2 types of schedule categories:

Class Schedule - it is used when the schedule is going to be managed to the subjects within a class/section. Example: Maths Schedule, English Class etc...
General Schedule - it is used when there are some events which isn't part of the enrolled subjects. Example: Prayer, Yoga session, etc...

If it is a Class Schedule, and you want to have specific number of session each week. You can use the option highlighted below:

After setting up the category, the next step is to add schedules in that category.
