INTRODUCTION
This article covers each setting under the Instructor Settings row in the Admin Panel. To access it, navigate to SETTINGS—it’s the third row of icons in the panel. Each icon represents a group of related settings you’ll configure for your organization. The steps below walk you through all six options.
1. Lesson Types
A Lesson Type is a high-level tag that clubs create to define and categorize their lessons. It sets the framework for how lessons are offered, including:
Basic Details – Name, duration, and player capacity (minimum and maximum players).
Court & Resource Settings – Whether a court and/or additional resources are required, and rules for applying min/max based on available courts.
Appearance – Background and text colors to help distinguish lesson types in the scheduler.
Financial Settings and Custom Fields – Tax rates, revenue category, and custom fields for tracking specific details.
Status Controls – Whether the lesson type is active and available for use.
Note: If you haven’t read the Overview: Lessons article, it’s a great place to start for a high-level review of lessons in CourtReserve. Check it out here.
