The Group Overview is a comprehensive area in 'Book That In' that is geared towards users who manage group events. These are events where more than one person can register or book. This could range from workshops and fun days to regular classes and courses.


In the video below, we introduce you to the Group Overview, which is where you will manage all your Group Events, be they classes, events, workshops or other group sessions.


From the Group Overview, you can do all manner of things, such as:

  1. See an Overview of all your Group Events, along with reporting on performance
  2. View Attendance Registers
  3. Edit Group Events
  4. Create New Group Events
  5. Email attendees
  6. See Extras sold
  7. Hide or Archive Events
  8. Switch events to 'Waiting List Only'
  9. Notify Waiting Lists

And lots more!
