What's the difference between Recurring Events and Recurring Bookings?
Octiv's Scheduling menu has two similarly named tools that do different jobs. Knowing which is which saves a lot of confusion.
Recurring Events = your repeating classes
A Recurring Event is a class or session that repeats on your timetable — for example a "Hybrid Training" class every Monday. You set it up once and it fills your calendar automatically.
You create and edit recurring classes from the calendar. For the full steps see "How do I manage the class schedule and recurring classes?" and "How do I add a once-off or recurring class?"; to change a single occurrence rather than the whole series, see "How do I edit just one occurrence of a recurring class?".
You can also see every repeating class in one place under Scheduling → Recurring Events. Each row’s ⋮ menu lets you Edit, Duplicate or Delete the whole series.
Recurring Bookings = a member’s standing spot
A Recurring Booking automatically books a specific member into the same recurring class each week, so they don’t have to book it manually every time.
- Find them under Scheduling → Recurring Bookings. Each one shows the Member, the Class, the Booked Days and an End Date.
- Use the Status filter (Active / Inactive) to see current or ended bookings.
- Click Create New to add one, or the ⋮ (Actions) → Edit / Deactivate to change or stop one.
In short
A Recurring Event is the class itself, set up by your facility. A Recurring Booking is a member’s repeating place in that class.
