Quick answer:

After publishing, book students into an activity yourself, for example to hold a place or help a parent.

Once events are published, you can perform manual bookings for students. This is useful when you want to:

  • Secure a space for a student

  • Assist a parent who doesn’t know how to book

  • Handle any other special cases

To manually book a student to an activity/event:

  1. Click on the Preview/Manual Booking tab from the side.

  2. In the search bar labelled "Student," search for the name of the student you wish to book (e.g., "Garcia, Eva").

  3. Locate the desired event in the list (e.g., "Painting Activity") and check the box on the right side next to the student's name.

  4. Click the Book button. You have 15 minutes to complete the bookings in the next page.

  5. Once you proceed to the confirmation page:
  • If the activity is free: Simply click Complete to finalise the booking.

  • If the activity is chargeable, you have two options:

    • Pay with Parents’ Credits:

      1. Click Pay with Credits

      2. Select the credits to use

      3. Click Pay with Credit Balance

    • Record Fee in Student’s Account:

      • If the parent has no credits, just click Complete to record the fee in the student’s account.

Good to know

  • The 15-minute timer starts when you select Book. If it runs out, start the booking again.

  • Voucher balances can go overdrawn when you pay with parent credits.

  • The parent and student receive a manual booking confirmation email.
