๐Ÿ“ฃ Interested in how make-ups look in the Member App?

See the customer-facing process for scheduling make-ups directly in the app.


๐Ÿ“ Overview

Dash Software now allows facilities to offer their customers a chance to see available classes or camps (per session style of event) they are eligible for in the case when they need to miss their regularly scheduled program.

๐Ÿ“ฃ Key Benefits of Using This Feature

*Flexibility for Customers: This feature allows members to make-up for a missed class/per-session event, providing them with the opportunity to catch up and not miss out on the learning or fun.


*Better Roster Management: Facility administrators can decide whether make-up attendees should be counted within the original roster or above and beyond the roster maximum.


*Tailored Control: Based on the type of event (Company, Season, Level, or Program), specific make-up settings can be configured, ensuring a granular control over the process.


*Consistency with Existing Features: If you are familiar with setting up free trials, you'll find the process similar, ensuring a smooth experience.

๐Ÿ› ๏ธ Setup

๐Ÿ“ฆ Integrations & Add-ons

Click the arrow to learn how to enable make-ups at the company level

๐Ÿ”‘ In order to view and access the Integrations & Add-ons page, your User role must have "Company Account Settings" assigned to it.

  1. When you are ready to start using the Make-Up feature, you will need to go to your Integrations & Add-ons page and click on the Addons tab.

  2. Click the toggle to "Enable Make-ups".

  3. There are two global settings company wide to decide on, Limit Per Customer and Look-back Period.

    • What this allows you to do is select the number of make-ups a customer can take in a specific time period and how frequently that time period is wiped clean.

    • This setting below means a customer can attend 5 make-ups within a 120 day period.

    • Leave both of these fields blank to have no restrictions. Setting the Limit Per Customer field and leaving the look-back period empty, would result in a set number of make-ups for the lifetime of the customer.

      โ€‹โœ๏ธ Note: Setting this at 0 or leaving it empty means it is unlimited.

๐Ÿ“… Season Settings

Click the arrow to learn more

  1. Once the this feature has been turned on, you will see a new option in your Class and Per Session type of Seasons.

  2. Select a Season that you want to turn Make-Ups on for.

  3. Within the Season settings, you will notice a toggle for Make-Ups. Once this is turned on at the Season Level, it will turn it on automatically at each level and roster.

  4. Conversely, turning this off at the season level will turn it off at each level and roster.

    โœ๏ธ Note: If you are creating a brand new season, these same options are presented to you.

  5. Max Registrants: This is the number of make-up customers allowed per event. Note: Setting this at 0 or leaving it empty means it is unlimited.

  6. Above roster limit: Number of allowed make-ups beyond what is set for the roster limit. This number cannot be more than the "max registrant" amount.

  7. Signup Start: The number of days before a make-up event when it first becomes available for enrollment. (Entered in whole days only.) This value must be different from โ€œSignup End.โ€

  8. Signup End: The cutoff point before the make-up event when enrollment closes. (Can be entered in hours or whole days.) This value must be less than โ€œSignup Start.โ€

    ๐Ÿง  Example

    • A make-up event takes place on Saturday at 10 AM.

    • Signup Start = 7 โ†’ customers can begin signing up 7 days before (the prior Saturday at 10 AM).

    • Signup End = 24 hours โ†’ customers must sign up no later than Friday at 10 AM.

    ๐Ÿ’ก If Signup Start and Signup End are the same, the make-up will never appear.

  9. Limit per customer: This value will override the Company Settings "limit per customer" value to allow adjusting for each season if you would like. If the Company Settings "Look Back" period is set, this value will be applied to that date range. Note: Setting this at 0 or leaving it empty means it is unlimited.

  10. Registration Email Template: This should be created ahead of time and added here. This can be used to pass along any additional details your customers may need to prepare them for their make-up.
