Events
Share events with a link or QR code
Share all your upcoming events with one link or QR code. Families tap an event, then sign up and pay through its form, no account needed. When you create an event, turn on Create a sign-up form for this event and the form is set up for you. Open events also appear in a new Join an Event menu on the kiosk.
Where: Event Management › Share Event Link

Make-up registration
Keep registration open after the testing or event date, so students who missed it can still sign up and pay.
Where: Testing or event › Reservation Cut-off Time › Date Range › set the end date after the testing date
Memberships & billing
Signup fee, Down Payment, and fixed billing day
Set the signup fee separately from the first payment, which is now called Down Payment. Add a fixed monthly billing day, and the first charge is prorated automatically when members sign up through a form or you add a membership manually.
Where: Membership template › Billing Information › Charge on a fixed day every month and Signup Fee

Autopay for class-credit memberships
Sell class packs, like 10 classes, as autopay installments with a set number of payments.
Where: Membership template › Class credits › Payment Type Autopay
Scheduling & check-in
Multi-select calendar filter
Filter the schedule calendar by several types and classes at once, such as all Appointments plus one class.
Where: Schedule calendar › class filter
Recurring schedule names
Give each recurring schedule its own name, such as "Mon/Wed Beginner." The name shows on the calendar, check-in screens, the student app, and notifications.
Where: Class › add or edit a schedule › Recurring › Schedule name
Require a class for check-in
Turn off Check-In Without a Class to require students to register for a class before they can check in. It's on by default.
Where: Settings › Schedule › Check-in › Check-In Without a Class
Testing & ranks
Evaluation templates by rank
Score different belt tests with different evaluation items, such as basics for beginners and forms and sparring for black belt candidates.
Where: Testing evaluation screen › ⚙ › Evaluation Settings › Evaluation Items › + Template
Linked rank systems
Link rank systems in order, so a student promoted from the last rank of one system moves to the first rank of the next, such as color belts to black belts. When a student's rank changes, they're removed from classes that don't fit their new rank. Turn on Auto-Add to Matching Classes to add them to matching classes automatically.
Where: Rank system › Next Rank System · Settings › Schedule › Rank Change
Auto-add to matching classes
When a student's rank changes, add them automatically to every recurring class that matches their new rank. This works with bulk promotion, testing promotion, and rank changes on the student's profile. Classes that are full or whose join conditions aren't met are skipped. It's off by default. Students are always removed from classes that no longer match their new rank.
Where: Settings › Schedule › Rank Change › Auto-Add to Matching Classes
Forms & workflows
Copy forms
Copy any form with its settings, questions, and linked memberships. The copy starts as Inactive, so you can edit it before it goes live.
Where: Form › Actions › Copy
Email verification switch for trial forms
Turn off email verification on trial sign-up forms for a faster sign-up. Emails that already belong to a member are still verified.
Where: Trial form › Edit › Form Option › Email validation
Start a workflow from a specific tag
Start a workflow only when a specific tag is added, such as "Trial completed."
Where: Marketing Tools › Workflows › Start › When a tag is assigned › When this tag is assigned
Add or remove tags in a workflow
New Add tag and Remove tag steps update a member's tags automatically at any point in a workflow.
Where: Marketing Tools › Workflows › + › Add tag or Remove tag

Attach MP4 or MOV videos, up to 30MB each, to community posts. Videos play right in the post.
Where: Community › new post
