Link Equipment to a Class or Service
| Linking | Where to link | Use it when |
|---|---|---|
| Direct | Open the item → Classes pill → tick the classes or appointment services that use it | One specific item serves the offering |
| Via group | Open the equipment group → select its classes | Any item in the group will do; a grouped item cannot be attached directly |
Choose the option with Linking Mode in the item's Settings. The item's Groups section reminds you: Set Linking Mode to Via group in Settings to add this equipment to groups. In Equipment → Items, the Groups column shows Direct for an item that is not in a group, and the equipment picker marks items that cannot be picked with *Direct.
Standalone is now Direct, and Part of Group is now Via group. Only the names changed; saved settings work the same, and required directly linked equipment is still assigned automatically.
Equipment → Classes then lists every offering with an active link — appointment services included, despite the tab's name.
The class, the item or group, and any fixed location must be compatible.
An item Available for standalone hire links to classes the same way; its hire service lives on the Standalone hire tab, not on Classes.
Set a Class-Specific Override
- Open Equipment → Classes and select the class or appointment service.
- Choose New Equipment Override or New Group Override.
- Select an item or group already linked to this class. The class is shown in a locked class picker on Important Information and cannot be changed.
Equipment override
The old Price Override field has been removed from Important Information. A class-specific price is now set on the override's Payment tab.
- Keep Use equipment payment settings on to inherit the equipment's own Payment settings, including its flexible rules. If you pick a different equipment item while it is on, the payment fields are refilled from that item.
- Turn it off to set this class's own Payment type (One-off payment, Pass only or Both), Points, Accepted passes, Pass required to reserve (Pass only), Price, Payment at booking and Deposit amount.
There is no separate flexible-pricing editor on a class override. Standalone payment is unaffected. An override saved earlier with only a price override opens with the toggle off and that price filled in.
When the toggle is off, Save checks the payment settings. Points must be a whole number of 0 or more, the price must be valid, and a deposit must be greater than zero and no more than the price. If a check fails, the override is not saved and the page switches to the Payment tab.
Under Assignment, choose the equipment default, Exclusive or Shared. Exclusive reserves a unit for one booking or session; Shared uses remaining capacity.
Group override
Same Equipment Item Override controls whether a booking must stay within one item or may use different items in the group.
Save applies only to this class. Turn payment inheritance back on to restore the equipment policy. Delete removes the override without deleting the item/group; overrides cannot be archived.
