Update Class Based Info

  1. Add a Title
  2. Add a description
  3. Event Date times With the name, event start end, limit 23
    1. This is important to put the event start end date.
    2. If you do not add this info the class will not load on the website.
  4. Available classes that match the times need to be associated with a price and quantity.
    1. This is important to add the sale start end period and associate the proper ticket.
  5. All classes that do not have a valid class date should have a fake ticket created named: “Currently Not Scheduled – Submit the form below for more info.” This will show it expired with the proper dates with the older classes offered. Example: http://qualityenv.com/events/asbestos-awareness
  6. Right sidebar configurations:
    1. Event Registration Options – Maximum number of tickets allowed per order for this event/ Display Ticket Selector
    2. Event Categories – All Classes loads the class on the home page and the others assocaite it with the proper category to load on this page – http://qualityenv.com/training-education/class-registration/
    3. Questions for the Primary Registrant – need to be checked!
    4. Questions for Additional Registrants – need to be checked!

Events that do not have a set date have a form and a default setting to show up without tickets.
