Overview
The Scheduler functionality works in conjunction with Activity Management and gives your trainers and other Service Providers, front line staff, or any other staff member with the proper permissions, the ability to schedule members for Activities.
You can schedule prepaid and unpaid Activities in Scheduler. However, an unpaid Activity does not create a record in Activity Management until it is redeemed.
The Scheduler icon in the left navigation panel of Launch Pad, takes you to the Scheduler Calendar, which is where you create, edit, and redeem Appointments, block additional time, and filter the view. To activate this icon, the Access Scheduler check box MUST be selected on the Employee Profile of the User that is currently logged-in at that Workstation.
- Click the Staff & Users icon in the left navigation panel. Search for and select the appropriate Employee.
- On their Employee Profile, click the User Access tab.
- In the Scheduler Access section, ensure that the Access Scheduler check box is selected. If it is not, select the check box and click the Save button.
Click HERE for the steps to set up the Scheduler and the entire scheduling process.
The Appointments tab on the Member Profile is where you can view a member's current and cancelled Appointments for a specific date range.

The Scheduler should be set up in this specific order.
