Classes & Schedule

Courses are the recurring classes you teach; the schedule is their weekly timetable.

Trainers

Trainers are roster entries — a person who teaches, with or without a login:

• Trainer without a user account — guest instructors, assistant coaches. They appear on courses but can't log in.
• Trainer with a user account — staff who log in get the seeded Trainer role (floor operations; see RBAC & Roles).

Courses

Each course belongs to exactly one location and teaches exactly one discipline (see Belts & Gradings):

Field	Notes
Name	e.g. "Kids Karate — Northside"
Location	One dojo site
Discipline	Which belt ladder it feeds
Trainer	Who teaches it
Weekly times	Recurring slots, e.g. Tue 16:00, Thu 16:30. Each slot has a Trial bookable checkbox (on by default) — untick it to keep the class off the public trial-booking page (senior-only sessions, for example) - and an optional Capacity (max trial bookings for that weekly slot; blank = unlimited)

A discipline taught at multiple locations means one course per location, each with its own schedule and attendance.

Sessions

Sessions are auto-generated 14 days ahead from the weekly times by the scheduler (every 5 minutes) and on viewing the schedule or a course page. Generation is idempotent — the same course/date/time is never duplicated.

• Cancel a session (e.g. a public holiday) — it's kept with a CANCELLED status, never deleted, so history stays honest.
• Location changes — a session keeps the location it was generated with, so past attendance never moves.

Timetable

The schedule page shows the week's timetable — courses as columns, weekdays as rows, per location. Open any session from it to take attendance.
