24 Now we will be going over the functions within the **Calendar**.
25
26 First is **Signing up a Member** for an **Activity**. This is a great way to see who is attending the **Activities** you will be offering, and make is easier to give your **Instructors** a gauge of how many people are attending the classes, so they can adjust their schedules accordingly.
27
28 Please run your cursor to an **Activity** you would like a member to sign up for. In this case we will be signing up a member for Yoga activity offered at 1PM.

400 The**Instructor Availability Schedule** will allow you to set the times an **Instructor** is available for **Activities.**
401
402 To start go to the **Select Instructor**section on the left and select the **Magnifying Glass** link. A pop up will appear with all **Instructors** for the facility.
403
404 Once you select the **Instructor** you wish to adjust times for, the **Availability Schedule** will then activate. You will then set the **Dates, Time and Days**your **Instructor** is available.
405
406 As you can see in the picture, **Instructor Gabe Salazar** has a **From**date of 8/4/14 to Blank which means he does not have an **End** date. He is **Available** from**5:00 AM to 10:00 PM** and under the **Days**field that is under **Weekdays**. So anyone can schedule him from the Hours of **5 AM - 10 PM Monday through Friday.** Then select save and the **Instructors Availability** is set.
407
408 Lets say the **Instructor** has a vacation up and needs to make sure no one is scheduling him/her for **Activities**. The **Instructor** can set the **Unavailable Dates** and no one will be able to schedule them into an **Activity**. **Select Unavailable Dates** and a pop up will appear, set the dates the**Instructor** will be unavailable.
409
410 If the**Instructor** needs to set a block of time they are not available for a certain day, say a lunch break or they need to pick their kids up from school, they can select the **Unavailable Times** link and set the time they are **Unavailable**, so no one can schedule an **Activity** for them during that time.
411
412 This completes the **Instructor Availability Schedule** link. We will now go over the **Manage Payment Options** link.
413
414 == Member Payment Options (refer to manual) ==
415
416 [[image:1590657094.png]]
417 The **Member Payment Options** link is where you can place a members **Credit Card or EFT Information** on file to be used strictly for **Activity Packages**.
418
419 After finding the member in the **Select Member** section all of their **Payment Options** will appear in the **Payment Options Section**.
420
421 To **Edit a Payment Option** select the **Payment Option** you wish to Edit and a **Edit Payment Option** will appear, allowing you to make the necessary adjustments needed.
422
423 To **Add a New Payment Option** select the **Add Payment Option** link and the **Edit Payment Option** will appear allowing you to enter the new **Payment Option**.
424
425 There is a separate manual for this link as well, so if you do have questions please refer to the **Manage Payment Options** manual.
426
427 We will no go over the final link under the **Settings Tab** which is the **Calendar Default Hours**
428

430
431 [[image:1590722631.png]]
432 The **Calendar Default Hours** link allows you to set the times **Activities** can be scheduled.
433
434 The **Start Time** usually will be the time your facility is open to the public. You can set that time by adjusting the **Hour and Minute** drop downs.
435
436 The **End Time** will most likely be about 30 minutes before you close your facility for the day. You will set the time just as you would the **Start Time** by adjusting the **Hour and Minute** drop downs.
437
438 When this is set and you try to schedule an **Activity Before or After** the allotted time a message will appear informing you that this is not in the allotted time.
439
440 This completes the overview of the **Settings Tab**.
